Custom Report Sort Order

[#1]

I created a test report  aggregate-space-summary1 ,

How to change default  sort order ? ,

C:\>dfm report  view aggregate-space-summary help
Aggregate Space Summary Report  (aggregate-space-summary)
Shows the summary of space allocated to the  aggregates.

Columns:
          objId                Object ID
         objName               Aggregate
         parentObjFullName    Storage System
          dfKBytesTotal        Total
         dfKBytesUsed         Used
          dfKBytesPercent      Used (%)
         dfKBytesTotalCommitted  Committed
         dfKBytesCommittedPercent Committed (%)
          aggrGrowthPercentage Daily Growth Rate (%)
         aggrdfDaysToFull     Days  To Full

Default sort order is  -dfKBytesCommittedPercent.

Created Custom Report aggregate-space-summary1

C:\>dfm report  view aggregate-space-summary1 help
aggregate-space-summary1 Report  (aggregate-space-summary1)
Catalog Name:  Aggregate

Display Tab:  Aggregates

Catalog  Field                                 Field Name
             Format
---------------------------------------------  ----------------------------------
-----------  ---------
Aggregate.Name                                Aggregate  Name

Aggregate.Filer                                Aggregate Storage System (A)

Aggregate.TotalSpace                           Aggregate Total Space
             Auto-Scaled
Aggregate.Used                                Aggregate Used  Capacity
             Auto-Scaled
Aggregate.UsedPct                             Aggregate Used  Capacity %
            0
Aggregate.BytesCommitted                       Aggregate Bytes Committed
             Auto-Scaled
Aggregate.BytesCommittedPct                   Aggregate Bytes  Committed %
            0
Aggregate.DailyGrowthPct                       Aggregate Daily Growth (%)
             0
Aggregate.DaysToFull                          Aggregate Days to  Full

Default sort  order is Aggregate.Name.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

The default sort order for custom reports is based on the first field of the report.

Nevertheless, while viewing the report you can use the options –s to specify the sort field, when using dfm report view.

with GUI you can use the column header to sort.
