Hi,

In the Edit Record list  as per the requirement lastname,Firstname should be display in the grid but while sorting by last name  it is throwing the error,

Error Evaluating UI Expression

The alias [[field=STUDENT_L_NM, ascending=true]] cannot be used because it contains illegal characters. The alias must contain only letters, numbers, and underscores, and must start with a letter.

Thank you

    Please post a representative portion of your SAIL code in question.  Also, please make sure to post it in a Code Box, just for readability/etc.

    Try verify the sorting of your record list, it has to be one of the field on underlying CDT(assuming its entity backed record)? if you don't find any issues in a field, verify your data, sometime data issues may also cause sorting error! try with simple one row.

    What Appian version are you using? if its latest you can only select fields from existing!
