Primary and Secondary Ordering for Customer View

Hi all,

 

I want to create a custom view for cases that orders cases first by a primary field and then by a secondary field (e.g., first by support tier, then by priority level). Before I develop a custom page for this, I wanted to verify the following:

 

1. Salesforce's custom view wizard doesn't currently allow one to define a default primary ordering field.

2. The wizard doesn't currently allow one to define a default secondary ordering field.

3. The wizard doesn't currently allow one to lock the ordering settings of a view (such that most users can't change the sorting logic).

 

It would be great if someone could dispel these understanding, but even an informed confirmation would be appreciated! :)

 

Best,

Jon
