Lets not get confused with 'Hierarchy Sort Order'

On a Hierarchy we have 3 different Sort Properties,

1. Hierarchy Sort Order:

          This is used to specify the position of a Hierarchy in a Hierarchy Group

          when you have multiple hierarchies under a Hierarchy Group ( Sytem 

          category)

          Ex: -1, 0, 1

               Accounts

                                         CASH   -1 

                            FUND    0 

                         

2. Default Hierarchy Sort:

            Specifies the default sort order for all the users, when not selected

            hierarchies will get sorted Alphanumerically.

            A custom derived property with 'SORT' Data Type can be assigned based             on requirement.

3. User Hierarchy Sort:

           If User wanted to have a own representation of hierarchy structure, it is            possible by assigning a custom property to User Hierarchy Sort,

           When assigned it takes precedence over the default hierarchy Sort.
