Notes:
  1. On the CDRM definition statement, SORDER will default to the value coded on the preceding NETWORK statement.

Specifies the order in which the APPN and subarea networks are searched when a network search request is received from the subarea network or specifies that the SORDER start option should be used to control the order in which the APPN and subarea networks are searched. This search order may be overridden if the target LU's location is already identified and SSCPORD=PRIORITY is specified. SORDER is valid only for network nodes (NODETYPE=NN) functioning as interchange nodes, and end nodes functioning as migration data hosts.

Note: When coded on a NETWORK statement, the SORDER value "sifts down" to all CDRM statements under that NETWORK statement (unless SORDER is overridden on one or more of the CDRM statements).
SORDER=APPNFRST
Specifies that VTAM® should always try searching the APPN network first, even if the "owning" CDRM was defined or learned.
SORDER=APPN
Specifies that VTAM should try searching the APPN network first, unless the owning CDRM was defined or learned.
SORDER=ADJSSCP
Specifies that VTAM should search the APPN network only if ISTAPNCP has been explicitly coded within the ADJSSCP table that was chosen for this search/session.
SORDER=SUBAREA
Specifies that VTAM should always try searching the APPN network last (after trying all subarea ADJSSCPs).
SORDER=STARTOPT
Specifies that VTAM should use the current value of the SORDER start option for this ADJSSCP table each time it is chosen for searching. This value can be used on CDRM statements to override the sift down value from the preceding NETWORK statement. When coded on a NETWORK statement, this value works the same way as when SORDER= is not coded on the NETWORK statement.
