When I create a report model, it is easy to change the order in a given entity. Does anyone know how to order the fields in an entity when you are using inheritance or inlining? I want to have the fields in alphabetical order so that the end user doesn't have to hunt for the correct field.
The other item I need to find out is how to customize the prefixes that inlining uses. Any ideas there?

Specifying field order across entities is not supported in this release. One thing you can do to mitigate this is use field folders so the user has a "tree" to search instead of a long list that is not ordered very well. In the case of inlining, you can actually place the role in a folder by itself, and all its fields will show up there when the role is expanded.
By "prefixes" I assume you mean the contextual naming that is applied based on the Role.ContextualName and Attribute.ContextualName properties. These are the mechanism for controlling this behavior.
Hope this helps!
|||That was right on the money with both of the questions. That folder trick is really helpful in cleaning up some seriously unmanageable lists of fields.
