Filter Grouping not working for OBIEE 11g

Question

Hello!
I need some help on the below:
I have built a simple report in OBIEE 11g with FILTER grouping on two dimensions as below:
          Operative Hierachy is equal to Europe, IMEA, APAC, China Focus Country, Americas, US and Canada
     and      Accounts is equal to Net Sales (i), Gross Margin (i), GM% (i)
or
          Accounts is equal to Gross Margin, Net Sales, Gross Margin %
     and      Operative Hierachy is equal to / is in Organizations Total
The report was working as expected; but now suddenly it's showing no results with the error "+The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values.+" - even though data is present ! - I have tested this by splitting it into two reports (with only the AND conditions)- which is then woking as expected.
Points to note:
--There had been no change on the Report, when it stopped showing results.
--I have tested this filter grouping with other dimensions- & they are working fine.
--The OBIEE reports are fetching data from ESSBASE cube.
--Only thing which I can remember when it stopped working is that, there had been a data load on the ESSBASE cube. But other reports using these dimensions are working.
Has anyone faced the same issue before. Please help.

Hi User, Vijay,
Yes I have checked the generated SQL queries and the MDX queries as well. Both queries are generated as expected, but returns no result.
But now I have found out how these two different dimensions are different from my other dimensions. Only these two dimensions have a SORT order logical column defined in the BMM layer- which I think is causing the problem, BI Server not able decide which column to sort. So, the sql gives result when I cimment out one of the SORTKEY
SELECT
0 s_0,
"PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts" s_1,
"PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" s_2,
-- SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Accounts"."Accounts") s_3,
SORTKEY("PSS Essbase"."Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy") s_4,
"PSS Essbase"."Facts"."Measure" s_5
FROM "PSS Essbase"
WHERE
((("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Europe') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Gross Margin'))
OR (("Operative Hierarchy"."Operative Hierachy" = 'Russia Focus Country') AND ("Accounts"."Accounts" = 'Sales ASP')))
ORDER BY 1, 5 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST
FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY
Any views on what happens when we use two dimensions in the same report which have sort columns defined in the repository...
