Object order is important when creating an update. Add or place added objects in the update structure starting with parent objects or sources, which are absent in the target repository, and finishing with objects that were created on their basis.
Before saving the update, the dialog box prompting to confirm object sorting opens. If the answer is positive, objects will be automatically sorted, otherwise the object order remains the same.
To reorder objects:
Use the 
Move Update Object Up, 
Move Update Object Down, or 
Move Update Object One Level Up buttons on the toolbar. The Move Update Object Up button, the Move Update Object Down button move the object within one level.
Select object sorting method in the drop-down menu of the 
Arrange objects by Dependency button on the toolbar:
By Type. Objects are arranged by type.
By Dependency. The option arranges objects on the panel in the order of their dependency not breaking folders composition (contents). Repository objects and object deletion are arranged. Repository objects are arranged in the following order: first, basic objects, then the objects created on their basis (for example, tables, dimensions, cube). Deletion objects are arranged in the reverse order: first, independent objects based on other objects, then objects included into the earlier listed objects (for example, cube deletion, dimension deletion, table deletion). Comments, SQL operators, security subjects and special objects are not arranged.
Allow Structure Violation. The option arranges objects on the update panel in the order of their dependency, breaking their structure. Objects are arranged similarly to the By Dependency option, but if required, objects can be placed outside folders, in which they are located. This rule does not cover container objects, for example, modeling container, their child objects cannot be placed outside their borders.
NOTE. These commands are available only when the objects are displayed in the order they have been added to the update.
