• Key Concepts: 
  Linear display order is a feature of SAP BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) that allows users to define the order in which text elements are displayed in a linear sequence. This feature is useful for displaying text elements in a specific order, such as alphabetical or numerical order.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use linear display order, users must first define the text elements they want to display in a linear sequence. This can be done by creating a text table and assigning each text element to a specific line number. Once the text elements have been assigned, users can then define the linear display order by setting the “Display Order” field in the text table.

  When defining the linear display order, it is important to remember that the first line number will be displayed first and the last line number will be displayed last. Additionally, it is important to note that if two or more text elements have the same line number, they will be displayed in alphabetical order.
