How can I use a Business Rule to sort a Member List in alphabetical order?

Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.Finance.XFR_MemberListAlphabetical Public Class MainClass '--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '...

    Hi Jerry,

    Not sure if you had a response on this, but what you could do is by creating the parameter as a 'Member list' and in your Member filter reference a business rule which sorts your entities. I have attached a screenshot of an example which you could use, you can change the entity filter variable to suit your requirements.

Hello, do we have an example where this is used in account dimension? I tried it but it would only show the parent account. For example, I use A#ParentAccount.Base as the Memberliststart, the cube view will only show the ParentAccount and not the base members.

I then tried to switch the dimension to Entity in the cube view and also the Memberliststart to E#TopEntity.Base, and it works just fine so I'm wondering if this only works for Entity dimension.

    Hi All,

    I was able to make it work for the Account Dimension by using the Finance Metadata function called GetMembersUsingFilter with this syntax:
    BRApi.Finance.Metadata.GetMembersUsingFilter(si, dimensionName, memberFilter, removeDuplicates, dimDisplayOptions, memberDisplayOptions)

    The above worked better than the Members function with syntax:

    api.Members.GetMembersUsingFilter(args.MemberListArgs.DimPk, MemberListstart, Nothing).

    Hope this helps!
