Sort Plan
The sort plan functionality was implemented to sort the plan according to the subscriber for batch orders with multiple subscribers contained within the plan.
The sort plan function is defined to sort the plan according to an attribute defined within the order. This function makes sure that products that belong to similar grouping attributes follow each other in the GUI.
In scenarios where bulk orders for multiple subscribers are submitted into TIBCO Order Management - Long Running, the subscriber ID is used as the grouping mechanism. All the order lines have a user-defined field defined with the name SubscriberID. Once the entire plan has been generated all the plan items are sorted according to the value for the subscriber ID user-defined field. This ensures that all products for an individual subscriber follow one after the other. This is followed by the next subscriber and so on.
