Documentation
Definition
Use
You can use the sort fields to process a series of actions in a defined order during batch processing. For this, you have to assign an attribute of the application object to the sort field in the action Customizing. When the action is generated, the value of this attribute is then entered into the corresponding sort field. First, the sorting defines how the selected actions are displayed in the list. During the batch run, the actions are then also processed in this order.
For the sorting, you must create and specify a variant that orders the ALV according to the entries in the sort fields. The dialog allows you to check the correct sort sequence in the ALV.
Dependencies
Example
For example, if the postal code of the document recipient is entered into one of the sort fields, documents can be printed sorted by their postal code.
