Sort by Attribute doesn't work in structure

[Pavan]

Hello Team,

In structure we used sort by Attribute(Index) generators. but this is not beneficial.
Example:
suppose task with 1.2.2.1 is greater than 1.2.2.12 which is not correct in Ascending order.
Please suggest fruitful solution for this issue.
Thanks!

Hi Pavan,

Dmitrii with ALM Works here.

Could you clarify how can you tell that 1.2.2.1 is greater than 1.2.2.12? What value are you referring to?

Kind regards,

Dmitrii Kuzmin

yes sure,

suppose in structure i have many issues.
we have multiple folders present in structure and we using Sequential Index effector to define the order of the issue inside structure.

Issue 1 with 1.2.2.1 sequential Index number

issue 2 with 1.2.2.1
.

.

issue 9 with 1.2.2.9

.

issue 12 with 1.2.2.12

sort by attribute can order the task till last one digit properly , once it becomes two digit , task 12 will arrange in the first.
After sort
eg:

issue12 with 1.2.2.12 come first

then issue1 with 1.2.2.1 come next
which is wrong

def indexFieldId = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Index").getIdAsLong()
def SortByIndexParams = [
attribute: [
id: "customfield",
format: 'order',
params: [
fieldId:indexFieldId

]

]
]

def IndexSorterItem = generatorManager.createGenerator(CoreStructureGenerators.SORTER_ATTRIBUTE, SortByIndexParams as Map, null)
def sorterIndexGeneratorItem = CoreIdentities.generator(IndexSorterItem)
