PL-900 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
{
  "dataverse": {
    "tables": [
      {
        "name": "cr5f3_orders",
        "columns": [
          {"name": "cr5f3_ordernumber", "type": "string"},
          {"name": "cr5f3_total", "type": "money"}
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Pages site configuration defines a custom table. The site needs to display a list of orders sorted by the total in descending order. What must be done?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Set the 'Sort Column' property of the list component to 'cr5f3_total' and direction to descending.

The list component in Power Pages can be configured with a default sort order using the 'Sort Column' property. The exhibit shows a table definition; the sort order is not set here. Adding an index is unnecessary for sorting in a list view. Changing the column data type or using C# code is not relevant.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Write a custom C# plugin to sort the data.

    Why it's wrong here

    No-code configuration is sufficient and recommended.

  • ✗

    Change the column data type to integer for sorting.

    Why it's wrong here

    Money type supports sorting; type change is not needed.

  • ✗

    Add an index on the cr5f3_total column in Dataverse.

    Why it's wrong here

    Indexes improve performance but don't set default sort order.

  • ✓

    Set the 'Sort Column' property of the list component to 'cr5f3_total' and direction to descending.

    Why this is correct

    This directly configures the sort order in the list.
