Hi,
I looked in our CRM (EhP3, SP05) and it should work as expected.
Do you have any enhancements in this component? Try to use user parameter WCF_IGNORE_ENHANCEMT with value A in you user record (transaction SU3) and run again. If you do not see the view, then temporarily unassign the enhancement set from the client you are testing (this will influence all users in the client!).
Try to put external breakpoint into event handler EH_ONSORT and request processing method DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT (the sorting is finally done there).
Regards,
Dawood.
