Problem Note 65893: Custom sorts are sorted incorrectly when they are used in a hierarchy in SAS® Visual Analytics Designer

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

A custom sort might be sorted incorrectly when the data item is used in a custom category, which is then used in a hierarchy. The issue can occur in the following scenario:

  1. Set a custom sort on data item X.

  2. Create a custom category based on data item X.

  3. Create a hierarchy in which Level N is a custom category and Level N+1 is X with a custom sort.

Here is an example:

The following custom sort is set on the data item Type:

Data Item Type

The following custom category is created based on the data item Type:

custom category

A hierarchy is created using DriveTrain ► Custom Category on Type ► Type.

The following screenshot shows some occurrences in which the sort is not applied correctly:

This problem occurs in SAS Visual Analytics Designer, but not in SAS® Visual Analytics Viewer.
