Problem Note 40570: Descending sort order associated with columns in the Extract or SQL Join transformation is lost after a migration or import to SAS® 9.2
A SAS Data Integration Studio job that uses the SQL Join or Extract transformation and the ORDER BY option to sort the result set by one or more columns in descending order will revert to the default value of Ascending after a migration or import. The only circumvention at this time is to manually reset the attribute to Ascending.
