  • 1.  Subobject list error: Sorting by the column specified is not allowed.

    Posted Dec 01, 2017 03:35 AM

    Hi,

     

    I'm getting this error in a subobject of a custom object and nothing is shown in the list, and there should be some instances as I just created them:

     

     

    I tried changing the sorting configuration in the list view to various different attributes but nothing seems to work.

     

    Anyone encountered something similar?

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Web browser and version? Clarity version?

    I saw this type of error in Firefox(whereas it worked in other browsers) when there is a date column.

     

    The following error is from Clarity v14

    FF_Clarity v14_date order error

    In my case just changing the browser user agent (i.e Chrome 45), browsing to the page again, and the column sort was fine

    Hi,

     

    This seems like the same error

     

    We are on Clarity 15.2, and I was using Firefox. Just tried on IE 11 after reading your response, but the error was still there... I will try with Chrome now.

     

    Thanks!

    Fixed!

     

    There was something wrong with a lookup caption in the subobject that was strangely provoking this, I simply changed the visualizing attribute in the lookup and changed it back, and the error was gone.

     

    Strange things!

    I happened to face this issue once before when I deleted an attribute that was used as the sorting column.
    Please try flushing the System Caches to get rid of the error.

    Thanks :)
