  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES033 with the description 'filteringFacet.order.by': @Consumption.labelElement missing (&1) typically occurs in the context of SAP's Enterprise Search or when working with Core Data Services (CDS) views. This error indicates that there is a missing annotation in your CDS view definition, specifically the @Consumption.labelElement annotation, which is required for the filtering facet to function correctly.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of the @Consumption.labelElement annotation in the CDS view that is being referenced. This annotation is necessary for defining how the filtering facet should be labeled in the user interface. Without it, the system cannot determine how to display the facet, leading to the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to add the @Consumption.labelElement annotation to the relevant field in your CDS view. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Open the CDS View: Access the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant development environment.
  
  
  Add the Annotation: Locate the field that is being used for the filtering facet and add the @Consumption.labelElement annotation. The annotation should point to the field that you want to use as the label for the facet.
  Example:
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW
  as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      @Consumption.labelElement: 'Field Label'
      field3
  }
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Application: Once the CDS view is activated, test the application or report that was generating the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Annotations: Familiarize yourself with the various annotations available for CDS views, especially those related to consumption and UI elements. The SAP documentation provides comprehensive details on these annotations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for similar issues.
  Debugging: If the error persists after adding the annotation, consider debugging the application to trace the exact point of failure and ensure that all required annotations are correctly defined.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your filtering facets work as intended in your SAP application.
