Two "Releases" / "Deliverable" Attributes in One Work Item - Can Only Sort on One of Them
I've got two custom work items in my system. Each of these work items contains two attributes of type "Deliverable", i.e. that are populated from the "Releases" options that we've created in our Project Area.
This has been working well, but someone has discovered that when we write a query against one of these work item types, only one of the two attributes of type "Deliverable" shows up as an option for sorting in the query engine.
How do I make both of these attributes available for sorting?
thanks,
Mike

Thank you for confirming that it is not possible to sort on a second, custom field of type "Deliverable".
This is disappointing. Defect 195455 states that "Custom attributes of type delivery are not selectable as sortable". But this is not really the case as far as I can tell, as we are able to sort on "Found In".
The defect also states that "the database has no knowledge of the sort order and therefore it is currently not possible to provide the correct sorting". How can this be true when it's possible to sort on "Found In"?
Are there plans to change this?
