• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHURL574 - Not all of the columns you have selected can be used for sorting ?

  The SAP error message VHURL574 indicates that not all of the columns you have selected in a report or query can be used for sorting. This typically occurs in scenarios where certain columns are either not sortable or do not have a defined sorting order due to the nature of the data or the way the query is structured.
  Causes:
  
  Non-Sortable Columns: Some columns may contain data types that do not support sorting, such as text fields with inconsistent formats or complex data types.
  Aggregated Data: If you are trying to sort on aggregated fields (like sums or averages) that are not part of the group by clause, this error may occur.
  Data Source Limitations: The underlying data source may have restrictions on sorting certain fields, especially if they are derived or calculated fields.
  Query Design: The way the query is designed may not allow for sorting on certain fields due to joins or other complexities.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selected Columns: Check the columns you have selected for sorting. Ensure that all columns are sortable and do not contain incompatible data types.
  Modify Query: If you are using a query or report, consider modifying it to exclude non-sortable columns or to ensure that all selected columns can be sorted.
  Use Grouping: If you are using aggregated data, ensure that you are grouping by the appropriate fields and that the sorting is applied to the correct columns.
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the columns you are trying to sort are compatible with sorting operations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the limitations of sorting in the context of your report or query.
