The Sort columns

The two columns Sort Path and Sort Order do not, strictly speaking, involve variable replacement in the entity name Gosu code. Rather, you use them to define how to sort beans of the same entity.

Sort Path	Defines the values that PolicyCenter uses in a sort
Sort Order	Defines the order in which PolicyCenter sorts the Sort Path values

Therefore, if PolicyCenter is in the process of determining how to order two contacts, it first compares the values in the (Sort Path) LastNameDenorm fields (Sort Order = 1). If these values are equal, Studio then compares the values in the FirstNameDenorm fields (Sort Order = 2), repeating this process for as long as there are fields to compare.

These columns specify the default sort order. Other aspects of Guidewire PolicyCenter can override this sort order, for example, the sort order property of a list view cell widget.
