which special character to sort on ??

317 Views

I have a standard SAP searchelp for contactpersons. since contactpersons can't be disabled or deleted neatly in XD02 I try to find a different method so that users won't have to select users that are not a contactperson anymore.

the standard searchhelp sorts the records by lastname. so I thought to add a special character in front of the lastname so that it is clear that the name is not in use anymore and further on that the names apear on the BOTTOM of the selection list.

so if I have a few names which are sorted like

jansen

smidt

zimmerman

and I disable 1 contactperson and change the name I want it to appear at the bottom

jansen

zimmerman

#smidt

but SAP puts the name as first

#smidt

jansen

zimmerman

I only can't find the logic how sap determines the sort order after the alphabet ??

I looked at the ascii sort order but that's not working since #smidt appears before jansen

which character come after the Z in the sort order of an searchhelp ??

kind regards
