Did your exports or reports change order?

NetSuite 2026.2 changes the default sort of generic-transaction SuiteQL queries and Analytics datasets from transaction display name to transaction date when no sort is specified.

ReportingCompatibility change
Why it matters

Order-dependent exports and integrations can behave differently even when amounts are unchanged.

First step

Find any output that assumes a particular transaction row order.

Suggested owner

Reporting or integration owner

Who should check?

Teams with transaction exports, custom reports, datasets or integrations that rely on the order of results rather than an explicit sorting rule.

Published milestones

  1. 2026.2 account upgradeDefault ordering changes for the affected generic-transaction queries and datasets.

Check your Oracle account notice before scheduling an update.

What to do next

  • Identify outputs whose business logic or comparison process depends on row order.
  • Set the intended sort order for affected queries. Where paging needs a unique order, add a tie-breaker for rows with the same sort value.
  • Compare complete results and pagination behavior, with the report or integration owner accepting the change.

What we’ll review

The selected queries and datasets, ORDER BY settings, how other systems use the row order, paging logic, and sample results from your account version.
