Yes, I have Problem, From FM model I am creating Regular Dimension. for dimension I am using Year column,
year as membercaption and business key.
month as member caption and calendar key as business key. when i create heirarchy.  it doesnt sort on year..

i have gone thru some cognos kb's they suggested to use "orders" function which will be used for sorting on DMR's

but i dont know how to use..

when i look at the expresssion
orders( years, numeric expression, asc),  I dont know what to mention for numeric expression..

help me guys

thanks

Hi,

The order() function is used to sort a set of members into ascending or descending order based on a measure value or a tuple.  For example, order([Country],tuple([Revenue],[2007],asc) would sort the country members by the revenue values for 2007.  The numeric expression you are missing is a measure value or tuple.
