Question

Hello Everyone,
I want to do sorting in prompts in webi for Calender Month in the form (Jan,Feb,Mar....)
Whereas, it comes alphabetically As (Apr,Aug and so on....) i want to know that can we find the solution for the same.
I also want to know if yes can we do it in webi itself or we will have to do it on Information Design Tool?

Hi Foram. I, too, am using HANA as my backend. Here's one way you can sort your data-driven prompts that appear in Web Intelligence:
Open your business layer within the Information Design Tool.
Verify that the column to be displayed in the Webi prompt (e.g., "Month") has been defined in your business layer.
Select the "Parameters and Lists of Values" button.
In the "List of Values" frame, press the down arrow and then select "List of values based on business layer objects".
Give the the list an intuitive name; e.g., "Month LOV".
On the Definition tab, press the "Edit Query..." button.
Drag the column to be displayed in the Webi prompt (e.g, "Month") to the Result Objects frame.
Press the "Sort dialog..." button.
In the Sort dialog box, press the "Insert Sort Object" button.
Select the column to sort on; e.g., "Month" and then press the OK button.
Verify the sort type; e.g., "Ascending".
Press the OK button.
Press the Preview button to confirm the results.
Save and publish the universe to your repository.
Open your Webi report.
Enter into Design mode.
Open the Query Panel.
Select the appropriate query.
In the Query Filters frame, select the prompt (e.g., "Month") and press the "Show prompt properties" button.
In the Prompt Properties dialog box, in the Prompt Properties frame, make sure "Prompt with List of Values" is selected.
Press the OK button.
Press the Close button.
Press the Refresh button.
Confirm that the prompt (e.g., "Month") is sorted properly.
Hope this helps!
