Alphabetic by Alpha String

Definition: Returns people with the contents of the Alpha String field in their active Profile. The Alpha String field is an optional field so it may be blank.

Return value: Values of type String

Source: The Advanced TAB of the Person Profiles window

Note:

The Alpha String may be used with a Person Formula ID to change how the person’s name displays on the Roster. Example, the Person’s "Last Name,[space]First Name[space]Middle Initial.”

Arguments: None

Sorting: If this base rule is used for sorting in a List Target or a List, then people with a blank Alpha String field are pushed behind the other candidates in an ascending sort; otherwise, they are preferred (sorted to the top) if the sort is descending.
