WebQuery sort order for Filter in IA-Reports

In InfoAssist-Reports (fex-files) it is not possible to define a sort order for Filters.
It is only available in HTML-Reports but not in Info Assist.
A option to define a sort order would be very useful.

    OK, so it appears that an option to sort descending (default is to sort ascending), by filter, would suffice. If I misunderstood please let me know.

    A descending option would help in most cases.
    but independent, that means that one filter should be ascending an another descending depending on the contend.
    if possible and useable a user-option that the user can define the sort-order himself at runtime would be a great benefit.

    manual sorting is not realy needed at this time, maybe in the future ;-)
    but would be also fine.

    Thank you for submitting your request to IBM.

    Regarding the sort order on filters, what options are you looking for? By default they are sorted ascending. Is it just to add a descending option or is there a manual sorting that is also needed?
