How Can The Column Header Tooltip Be Forced To Show "Not Sortable"?

9 February 2025

There is a Field User Property available named "DisableSort". If set to TRUE, sorting on that field is disabled, which the tooltip should then reflect accordingly. Real time Scenario Question: A Multi-Value Field was configured based on a destination field that is a calculated field. For this reason, the MVField cannot be sorted; however, the tooltip on the column header displays "Sortable". How can this tooltip be changed to show "Not Sortable"?
To activate that user property:


1.Open Tools

2.Navigate to the affected business component

3.Select the Field sub-object

4.Select the affected field

5.Select the Field User Prop sub-object

6.Create a new Field User Prop record:

Name = DisableSort

Value = TRUE

7.Select the business component record and compile the changes.

Alternatively, a List Column User Property of the same name is available, in case the sorting needs to be disabled on a per-applet basis.
