ES107 - Details

• The SAP error message ES107, which states "Place the cursor on the required sort column," typically occurs when you are trying to sort data in a report or table, but the system does not recognize which column you want to sort by. This can happen in various SAP transactions or reports where sorting functionality is available.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cursor Position: The most common cause of this error is that the cursor is not positioned on the column header of the table or report that you want to sort. The system requires you to explicitly indicate which column you want to sort.
  User Interface Issue: Sometimes, the user interface may not respond correctly, or there may be a temporary glitch that prevents the cursor from being recognized properly.
  Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict sorting capabilities, although this is less common for this specific error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Position the Cursor: Move your cursor directly over the header
