Sorting of item record by fields

Question

Hi All,
I am having one scenario where source is IDOC and Target is file.The file will contain one header record and several Items.I want the file to be like one header and Items to be sorted depending on 2 feilds.Can any one come across this type of scenario where Item records are sorted depending on more than one field.
Thanks in Advance,
Chandra.

Hi chandra,
there are two solutions to your problem,
1)use java mapping/XSLT mapping.
2)if you have used graphical mapping for IDOC to file scenario,then do not change it,go to the receiver communication channel,in the parameter tab fill in the usual file adapter details;go to module tab;in the processing sequence area uwill find a default module name localejbs/CallSapAdapter;add one row and copy that first row details to the second row;in the first row do the following
==>in the modulename text box type: localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
==>in the type combo box choose "Local Enterprise Bean"
==>If you are using paches < SP15 then type some key name;
(in SP15 you will not find that so dont worry)
==>go to the Module Configuration area after selecting the first row in the processing sequence area (this is important since module configuration corresponds to individual rows of parameter sequence)
==>in the module configuration area
     ==>in the first row
         in parameter name text box type :Transform.Class
         in parameter value text box type : com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.XSLTConversion
     ==> in the second row
in parameter name text box type  : XSLTConversion.XSLTFileName
in parameter value text box type : the location of the XSL file name for example
system1\dir1\sort.xsl;
write this XSL as others said;yo can write this XSL to fabricate your XML in any format ex:you can sort;for writing xsl refer W3schools.
now save the receiver communication channel;
if you run the scenario you can see the output in the format you have specified in the XSl;
