I just ran into an interesting issue and workaround.
Issue: We created a custom SQL view and then created the DAC in Acumatica. I added the DAC to our customer GI, but then couldn't sort by any of the fields from the custom DAC when viewing the data. All normal Acuamtica fields worked fine. I could default the sort order when defining the GI, but users couldn't resort the list by the custom DAC fields.
Workaround: In the GI results grid, I select a normal Acumatica object for the object and then reference the custom field in the formula of the data field. For example, my object was "Customer" and my data field was "= [C_V_NextFollowUp.FollowUpDate]". For whatever reason, the sorting now works.
We are on 2018r2, so maybe this works differently in later releases. Just figured I would share in case others were puzzled the same sorting issue.
Very interesting. I've been trying to avoid SQL Views because I'm nervous that they'll disappear in a future version due to the fact that they make Acumatica not truly a multi-tenant solution. But sometimes you just gotta use a SQL View.
