Re: [Olap4j-devel] [Mondrian] Re: bug in mdx function ORDER() ?

[Paul S. <pau...@as...>]

Just realised that i forgot to mention that this effect is only showing up when i do it in a crossjoin

That means this query will work, although the all status types member is not included in the set:

select NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Quantity]} ON COLUMNS,
  NON EMPTY Order({[Order Status].[All Status Types].Children}, [Order Status].CurrentMember.Name, DESC) ON ROWS
from [SteelWheelsSales]
