Object Sort Order

---

When two universes get linked, the initial sort order of the objects is the same in the derived universe and the kernel universe. If you reorder objects in the kernel universe, the sort order is not changed in the derived universe. If you add a class or an object in the derived universe, it stays in the order or position in which it was added.

If you want changes in the sort order in the kernel universe to be reflected in the derived universe, add the following to each database.prm file that uses linked universes:

[RDBMS] (GENERAL) CORE_ORDER_PRIORITY=Y

While this change helps synchronize sort orders, the downside is that it also adjusts the sort order for any new classes and objects added to the derived universe. New objects within a linked class get appended to the bottom of the class. New classes get appended to the bottom of any linked classes and cannot appear intermingled with the linked classes.
