Switch order to Descending in ListPage for WebClient with pageextension

ndbcs

Hello BC-Extenion-Experts,

I want to switch the sort order to descending for some list pages like Sales Quotes via page extensions.
I tried to change it by code within the OnOpenPage Trigger.
But I wasn't able to get it working.

I tried everything I could think of.
SetAscending, SetTableView, SetRecord, CurrPage.Update(false), FindFirst ...
While GetAscending("No.") returns false, the WebClient shows records still in ascending order.

I tried it on the current build for the spring release.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi,

I solved this request with an Event function in a codeunit:

[EventSubscriber] SetQuoteDescending(VAR Rec : Record "Sales Header")
Rec.ASCENDING(FALSE);

The new function subscribes to function OnOpenPageEvent of Page 9300 (Sales Quotes)

Hope this helps.

you can switch the order on the client over the No. column , do you see small up or down arrow?

ndbcs

Yes, thanks.
But I want to change it by code.
So it's the default for everyone.

Have you tried pagecustomisation?

ndbcs

No, I haven't.
Is there anything I can do with pagecustomization that can not be done with pageextension?

sorry just thinking out loud. This is Something I have not done. you could maybe add bit of code on page triggers using events. Try different things you might achieve something.

Today I tried again without luck.
Has anyone a solution for changing the sortorder of a list page in BC webclient permanently?
