I would like to have the default display for my item type to sort in descending order based on a property, how do I pull this off?
Thanks,
Scott

The only way to do this currently is to write a simple OnBeforeGet that adds the orderBy attribute to the request, like this:
this.setAttribute("orderBy","myprop DESC");
return this;
There's an enhancement request in the system to provide an easier way to do it. Not sure exactly when it will happen, but you can vote on it here: http://www.aras.com/plm-roadmap/. Just search for Descending.

This might be a hack, but it is so cool you can pull it off so easily. I am slowly figuring out the capabilities of the system, I am very impressed.
Rob, thanks again for having a straightforward answer,
Scott
