PI12065: How table sorting works in IBM Rational Rhapsody is not correctly documented

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is no mention of how to correctly use the sorting features
  for tables in IBM Rational Rhapsody in the appropriate
  information center page, found here:

  WORKAROUND:
  Following is an explanation of how table sorting in IBM Rational
  Rhapsody works:
  
  Each column can be sorted in its own order, however the entire
  table is sorted by taking into account all of these orderings
  combined.
  First the order is arranged by the first column and then for any
  values that are the same in this column, they are then further
  sorted by the second columns ordering.
  In the attached image there is an example of this, where there
  are multiple entries with the same value in the first column,
  which is sorted in a descending order and the second column is
  sorted in an ascending order.
