PLM2 — Sort_predicate Reference

PLM Services 2.0, mantis/07-03-01 Update, Chapter 9.4.10 Cause: Some editorial and spelling mistakes. The attribute Maximum_number determines the maximum number of objects selected from the sorted initial node-set of a location step. However, Start_index+Maximum_number selects one more object as intended. Start_index+Maximum_number-1 is appropriate for the semantics of Sort_predicate. New Specification Text: The Sort_predicate arranges objects of the initial node-set of a Location_step by the attribute specified by the attribute attribute_name of the Sort_predicate. The type of the attribute specified by attribute_name has to be a type for which a greater-than and less-than relation is defined. The default sort order is ascending order. If the attribute Descending_order of the Sort_predicate is set to true the selected objects are sorted in descending order. If the attribute Start_index is set all objects of the sorted node-set before the start index are filtered out. The default start index is 0. If the attribute Maximum_number is set objects before and after the closed range [Start_index, Start_index+Maximum_number-1] are filtered out.

Correct, change according to summary.
