If you have custom calendars, you might want to sort your Dimension Objects. For example: on a Resource calendar, sort by Rating. To do this, you can create one or more Calendar Dimension Sortings, and sort based on the value of a field which is related to the calendar you want to sort objects on.
Step-by-step guide
-
Make sure you add the Calendar Dimension Sorting related list to the Multi Calendar page layout
-
Create the field on the Dimension object that you want to use for sorting. This could for example be a Rating field on a Resource Dimension
-
From the calendar record, create a new Calendar Dimension Sorting from the Calendar Dimension Sorting related list, using the fields specified in the next section
Creating more than one grouping on a calendar will expose a dropdown next to the Filter buttons on the calendar, allowing you to choose which sorting to use.
