Displaying and Sorting


Quite often there is a misunderstanding between displaying of a value and sorting upon the same. ApEx reports are giving you a possibility to show one value and sort upon a different value, which you even may not want to show to the user.

As always, I created a small example in my demo application containing a full explanation and a link to the corresponding thread in the forum:

It is easy to set it up and it shows the power of ApEx once again - it's simplicity.
