Will this affect the Order function to find the position in which a member appears in a set?<div><span></span><br><br>On Monday, January 14, 2013, Kurtis Walker wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Mondrian Users,<br>
We are planning to deprecate the Member Ordinal property in Mondrian 4 and have it always return a value of "0". It would also be removed from the OLAP4J spec. This propery has been deprecated in the XMLA spec and will always return "0" in Microsoft Analysis Services. We'd like to find out if any Mondrian clients are using Member Ordinal.<br>
<br>
In addition, we are considering adding a new OLAP4J property called Order Key. Order Key would be the value or set of values that should be using for ordering members.<br>
<br>
Let us know if you have any thoughts on these issues. Thanks!<br>
<br>
Kurt<br>
