Sub-categories are listed in Alphabetical Order instead of Logical order in iRAM Asset Search page.
![]() In iRAM Asset search page, under Category filter search section, sub-categories are listed in Alphabetical order instead of logical order of category schema structure. Few months before, iRAM search listed logical order of the sub-categories, but now it lists in alphabetical order in iRAM search page. Is this proposed new design? (OR) Is there any issue in the code? |

I don't know how you saw them out of order. They have always been in a sorted order from day 1.
There is one peculiar feature which may of caused you to think they were in definition order. On the first level (i.e. you didn't hit view more...>>>) only the top 10 subcategories by count (e.g. the count of the number of assets that have the subcat assigned) are selected and then ordered alphabetically. When view more is hit they are all shown alphabetically that have at least one asset assigned to it. Comments Rich, Thanks for your reply.
I looked back in the code from the beginning and they were always sorted alphabetically when displayed on the left side tree of facets on the search page. They were never explicitly displayed in definition order. There is no code at all for taking definition order into account. That would require accessing the actual category definition during display of the facets no the search page and the category definition is never accessed.
Here's a copy and paste of a screenshot I have from when the category schema for this community displayed in logical order:
What version and testfix of RAM is this? Pull down the Help->About page to get the version of RAM, and if 7511, then click the "Click here" link for testfix information and only the toplevel testfix number is sufficient, I don't need the whole list> This isn't the current iRAM.
Dear Rich,
OK, I don't know how Marian ever saw that. I see the screen shot, but I don't know how it is possible. As far as I can tell, all of the way as far back as I can go in the code (7.2.0.2) the subcategories were always displayed in alphabetical order.
