In several areas, elements are sorted by creation data as opposed to name and this makes selection difficult. For instance:
- in modeler and subset editor, dropdown to select a database
- in modeler, list of cubes
- in subset editor, select Alias
- in formulas PALO.DATABASE_LIST_CUBES and PALO.DATABASE_LIST_DIMENSIONS
The formulas are the most problematic because the result is an array that cannot be sorted. When I want to compare dimensions and cubes from 2 different databases and the dimensions and cubes were not created in the exact same order, it doesn't line up ...

Added to the backlog: not currently planned for a specific upcoming version, but in consideration for future versions.
The problem is the same for dynarange list editor, list of available Dimensions. I have much dimensions in this dropdown and finding the right one is quite annoying.
Please fix this.
Sorting problems mostly are not expensive to fix and can be seen as "quick win".
Sorting should be case insensitive A-z
Sortation in Jedox Web navigation is inconsistent:
a) alphabetical
• Report Designer
• Integrator
• Marketplace
b) Manually sorted at
• Reports
c) by date of creation
• Modeler
• Scheduler
Why not always offer the three options
• alphabetically
• date of creation
• manually
Alphabetical sort order for integrator variables in action definition in the designer would be helpful aswell!
This is implemented for most objects and locations in release 2020.1 The remaining items will be implemented in an upcoming release.
