  Key Concepts: 
  Sort attribute is a feature of SAP SCM-IBP Integrated Business Planning that allows users to sort and organize data in a specific order. It is used to prioritize and group data according to user-defined criteria. Sort attributes can be used to sort data by product, customer, region, or any other criteria that the user wishes to use. 
  How to Use It: 
  To use the sort attribute feature, users must first define the criteria they wish to use for sorting. This can be done by selecting the desired criteria from a list of available options. Once the criteria have been selected, users can then select the order in which they wish to sort the data. This can be done by selecting either ascending or descending order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the sort attribute feature, it is important to remember that sorting data in ascending or descending order will not change the underlying data itself. It will only change the way it is displayed. Additionally, users should be aware that sorting data in a certain order may not always yield the desired results.
