Compose Ordered by External Data


Recommended Posts

We have a document that has a declared data file linked. Within the same document, we have page calling an external CSV for the flyout. When we compose the document, we would like the pages to be created in the order of the external document and not the linked data document. Is this possible?

 

Between the two data sets, we have a unique identifier to match the rows.

I wouldn't say it's entirely impossible. You can do some tricks with setting None data, or a single record, then repeating that record a particular number of times to match the count of lines in an XDF, then pull each line from the XDF for each repeat. This is actually a more common paradigm than you would think. There are several threads here with examples similar to this:
