Creating Data Set sort Available Fields box [message #1805666]

Good Afternoon All,

I am testing out BIRT for BMC Remedy AR System and was creating Data Sets to begin moving our reports over. I use the BMC Remedy Data Source which lets me select a Form and then add fields from that form. The box for Available Fields is showing three columns, Name, ID, and Data Type. The listing is sorted by ID, which does not help at all when trying to find a field among hundreds. I have yet to find any way to reorder the list by Name so that I can efficiently add only the fields I need. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I have attached an image of the screen that I am looking at for this problem.

Good Morning Nikolai,

Unfortunately sorting by anything besides ID seems impossible. I just start typing the word I want, to find what I need to add. It is annoying, but looks like the only option. If you figure anything else out, definitely let me know.
