Grouping With and Without Sorting
Sometimesthedatausedforgeneratingdocumentsisalreadypre-sorted,butyoumaystillneedto
groupdocumentsintosetsorsegments.Inthosecases,thegroupingprocessshouldnotreorderthe
documents.ThishasnowbeenimplementedinPlanetPressConnect1.7.1.
Considerthefollowingexample:datahasbeenpre-sortedforpostalsorting,whichmeansthatdoc-
umentsforthesamecustomerwillalsobeinconsecutiveorderinthejob(assumingacustomerhasa
singlepostaladdress).Ifwewantdocumentsforthesamecustomertogointothesamejob,wecan
usegroupingtocreatedocumentsetsandwemightusethecustomernumberforthisgrouping.When
thecustomernumberchanges,wewantanewdocumentsettobegin.Ifgroupingbycustomernumber
alsosortsbycustomernumber,ourpre-sortedorderwillgetmessedup.
TheJobCreationsettingshavebeenimprovedtoallowthiskindofgrouping.Sortingascending,des-
cendingornotsortingatallcanbesetperfieldusedforgrouping.(SHARED-45125)
