Set the sort order for typecodes in a typelist

About this task

You set the sort order in a .sort file. PolicyCenter does not provide any sort order files in the base configuration. You must put any .sort file that you create in the Localizations folder, as shown in this example.

Procedure

  1. Create a file that has the name of the typelist and locale code with a file extension of .sort.
    For example, State_de.sort.
  2. Save the file in configuration > config > Localizations.

    PolicyCenter stores the sort order information by language in the typelist table.

  3. In the file, list the typecode display names in the appropriate language, one per line, in the order in which you want them to appear.

    Lines that are not typecode display names or that are duplicate typecode display names are reported as errors in the log file. You can also add comments on separate lines. Each comment line must start with two slash characters, //.
