Ask a question

how the severity enumeration is set in a query?


Roger Layani (5313238) | asked Jul 17 '12, 8:49 a.m.

I have added a new severity enumeration value and have move it in righy place in list display with move button.

- Minor

- Moderate (new)

- Major

- Critical

But when quering on enumeration basis following descending sort I get the new added value placed in bad place on list

- Minor

- Major

- Critical

- Moderate (new)

I suppose the sorting follows literal number of severity entry

how to order in right way the severity list with new value?

There are known issues with sorting on enumerations. These are being tracked by  https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=175676

In reproducing your case, I see the same behavior for Severity or Priority -- the query-based initial sort is based on the literal id. If you sort using the column heading in the result set it will resort into the order as visible in the enumeration definition (at least in the Eclipse UI).
