I would probably create a new field in the script for the dimension values, using Dual() and giving each value a numerical underlying value and then just sort the dimension Numerically to achieve the custom sorting.

HI Johannes;

can you give me script example on Dual data type sorting

[#5 · Accepted solution]

You can do this by giving numeric header to all the dimesion inthe script. just as 1. A , 2. K , 3. V.

other way is creating new filed in script for all of your dimesion available. and you can then sort them accordinglyy i n front end.
