PRB: The Ordering of a Member in a Ragged Hierarchy May Not Be Correct (326586)

  • Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services 7.0

This article was previously published under Q326586

SYMPTOMS

When you browse a cube or a dimension in Analysis Manager, the member may not be ordered as you specified in a Ragged Hierarchy.

The Order By property of the properties pane in Dimension Editor determines the sort order for displayed members. You can sort by member name, member key, or any member property that is defined for the level.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if you are using the Hide Member If property to create a Ragged Hierarchy in a dimension.

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

If you use the Hide Member If property to create a Ragged or Unbalanced Hierarchy, and if the member under the current level is hidden, the descendent member from the next level (if one exists) moves up and appears under Analysis Manager. Even the members from the current level and the descendent members appear at the same level, but the members from the current level are ordered first, and then the descendent members are ordered.
