Don't have an account?
FGNY Mimicking Account Hierarchy function almost working but still one problem to solve.
Salesforce Function "View Hierarchy" in the Account layout is very useful for displaying Account/ParentAccount relationship tree but sadly the displayed account field columns are not configurable. We built the following function which mimick the Salesforce hierarchy view performing "No. of hierarchy levels" +1 queries to retrieve the necessary data:
However this function builds the following view
While it should be
It shows accounts grouped by their hierarchy level not by their parent accounts and we have no idea how to correct it.
Is there a way to change the function to work properly?
Possibly it is necessary to pull an array of all Accounts in the hierarchy first, then sort them from each parent node down, and only afterwards generate output. But we failed to build a recursive function which sorts an array of accounts by their parent.

BTW Are "SOQL-subqueries" the same as nested Queries. I used them to retrieve Opportunity or Asset data within the same Accout query but a nested Account of Account query don't work.
