Hi suresh, you can try sorting descending by expression and using Count() in expression:

-For Dim1:

Count(Dimension1FieldNameOrExpression)

-For Dim2:

Count(Dimension2FieldNameOrExpression)

Not sorting perfectly

Hi Suresh, try removing the '-':

count(BankName)

Count(Routing)


The descending option is a drop-down in Sense sort properties. If doesn't works post an image of the values sorted incorrectly so I can make an idea of what's happening.

HI Marin,

We are sorting on cyclic group, 3 dimension need to sort on ascending --> for this we use numeric sorting Ascending Option

2 Dimension Need to Sort on Frequency Descending -->  I tried as -Count(BankName) & -Count(Routing)

First Dimension works Perfect but second one not sorting

4 Dimensions need to Sort in a custom sorting, wrote an Expressions for those.

This is the Requirement,

So Please suggest any other way to sort Frequency desc

Hi suresh, I don't really know what's happening, I suppose that there are repeated values for this 2 dimensions in the previous dimension, like:

captura1.png

It's sorted by count, for company 71 the first account it's not the most frequent in that company, but it's the most frequent overall (95 occurences in both companies).

To avoid this I usually use dual in the dimension, adding the value of the first dimension so each value can be calculated independently:

captura2.png

Here the account 4700000001 is sorted by company, as each one is internally a different dimension value
