PlugIns JdbcSlim UserGuide 6OutputOptions
The below only applies to commands without any input values. Only these can return more than one row.
The SQL code should sort the result set so that it matches the expected values. If this is not possible as it is the output of a stored procedure the fixture can sort the actual result set. Expected values are never sorted. You have to provide them already in the order you expect them.
Use the symbol < to sort ascending and > to sort descending. Add this symbol to the end of the column name in the header. Finally add the keyword SORT as third parameter to the SQL command. Or add SORT as a key into a configuration property.
