  Review the Sort Fields:
  
  Look at the list of sort fields defined in the sort variant.
  Identify any duplicate entries for the same sort field.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicates:
  
  Delete or modify the duplicate sort field entries so that each field appears only once in the sort variant.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the sort variant.
