Is DimensionSortOrder only valid in Metadata?

Post by macsir »

I tried it to put into Epilog. Although the process runs successfully, the element order is not changed. Looks like no effect.
It only works when I put it into Metadata.
In TM1,the answer is always yes though sometimes with a but....

After certains actions in the Prolog tab, that function will have no effect anymore.
Once TM1 creates a shadow copy of the dimension, it's too late so to speak.
