I am working in Application Designer making a modified version of the work order application. The purpose of the mod is display a set of specifications up in the work order specifications tab in a defined sequence, so that when the work order is prepared the right data is collected. I did this by creating a classification, applicable to work orders, that has a set of attributes that show up in the specifications tab of the work order.
I want the specifications data (attributes) to be addressed in a the defined order, as there are dependencies. So I added a sequence number (number field, autonumbered in increments of 10) to the classspec table and added the field to the specifications table.
The field is visible in the work order application, but the specifications show up in whatever order Maximo feels like displaying them (probably internal sequence order) and I cannot sort on the field I added (sequence#) though the field control properties specify sortable.
What do I need to do to have the work order specifications display to sort by the sequence field value I added? Or perhaps I should say, what did I do wrong?
This is Maximo 7.5 on Windows 2008, 32 bit, and SQL Server 2008 db.
Maximo acutally has a built in sequence for attributes, so you shouldn't need to add a custom sort.
In the Classification application, in the attributes table, click on the button next to the trash can, that will open a dialog where you can input the sequence.
When the spec is used in an object (work order), it will create the specs in the order specified.

I've taken your advice and gotten everything to work the way I envisioned. Thanks.
