how to sort a financial report to LAST DATE MODIFIED?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To sort a financial report by the last date modified, you would typically need to use a custom formula field. However, in NetSuite, reports do not have the same flexibility as saved searches, and you cannot directly sort by a custom formula field in a report. In the context of a saved search, you could add the formula into the 'Sort By' field in the results subtab of the search. But for a report, this option is not available. For REST API + NetSuite, if you're getting only the date in the date/time fields and you want to sort by lastModifiedDate or createdDate, you can use the

to_char

function to convert the date to a format you find convenient. Then, use a different field where you use

to_date

to convert back the result from

to_char

. You can then use this last one to sort by. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
