Order of records while printing multiple records

[mjessulat]

Hi,

is it possible to change the order of records while printing multiple records of an entity as a pdf document? Actually the records are ordered by creation timestamp, i think. Can i somehow change this to the default order of the entity?

With regards

Mirko

Did you try to change the order in the entity itself in entity manager?

mjessulat,

Currently, the proposed option from shalmaxb is the only way out. The PDF document will be displayed in the order you specify in Administration > EntityManager > Entity_name_used_for_sorting > Edit in Default order (field) and in Default Order (direction) (as shown in screenshot 1).

For example:
- you have created a template for an Opportunity that needs to display all the related Contacts with the current Opportunity (screenshot 2);
- decided to filter the Contacts in the Bottom Panels of your Opportunity by the Account field (screenshot 3);
- however, the generated document will contain the Contacts in the order which they were specified in Administration > EntityManager > Entity_name_used_for_sorting > Edit in Default order (field) and in Default Order (direction) (screenshot 4).

The order that will go into the generated PDF document will be something like any List after a page refresh (which resets the sorting settings to default).
