PPM CS Note Sorting
In SAP cProjects notes
can be added - small texts
which are displayed with the
newest text at the bottom,
the oldest on top.
However, this proves to be
inconvenient as users
usually want to read the
newest notes first.
This consulting solution
reverses the sequence of
the notes which are
displayed.
