How to apply Hierarchize and Order by with MDX Query

Question

I need to order Dimension with respect to descending order. without using HIERARCHIZE key word everything works fine. here i need HIERARCHIZE in order to order hierarchy level data.

Select NON EMPTY({[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]}) dimension properties MEMBER_TYPE,CHILDREN_CARDINALITY, PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON COLUMNS ,NON EMPTY(HIERARCHIZE({{ORDER(drilldownlevel([Customer].[Customer Geography]),[Customer].[Customer Geography].CurrentMember.MEMBER_CAPTION,desc)}})) dimension properties MEMBER_TYPE,CHILDREN_CARDINALITY, PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS

I don't understand what the question is - you have a solution : delete hierarchize? — whytheq, May 05 '16 at 10:38

Unfortunely I do not have AdvWrks cube to test the following:

SELECT 
  NON EMPTY
     [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON 0
 ,NON EMPTY
      ORDER(
         {
           HIERARCHIZE([Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].MEMBERS)
          ,[Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].&[GERMANY].CHILDREN
         }
        ,[Customer].[Customer Geography].CurrentMember.MEMBER_CAPTION
        ,BDESC
      )
    )  ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];

Looks like I had a tested solution to a similar problem here:
Issue with Order function and Crossoins in MDX

Looks like an application of the above to your context is something like this:

SELECT 
  NON EMPTY 
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON 0
 ,NON EMPTY 
    {
      Order
      (
        {
            [Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].MEMBERS
         ,  [Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].&[GERMANY].CHILDREN
        }
       ,(
          [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
         ,[Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY]
        )
       ,BDESC
      )
    } ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];

This does not provide an answer to the question. To critique or request clarification from an author, leave a comment below their post. - [From Review](/review/low-quality-posts/12310997) – Jonathan Argentiero May 11 '16 at 13:06
Thanks for the comment. Formulating an exact answer, in this language, is not always possible. Currently the questioner has self-answered but the reality is that the questioner has not even answered the question they originally asked! ...please see my comment below - the set `[Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].MEMBERS` is in their question but not in their answer. Maybe @GregGalloway might like to comment - Greg: do you agree that with the mdx questions it is not always easy to give the questioner precisely what they require but that something like my answer can often be sufficient? – whytheq May 11 '16 at 15:07
@JonathanArgentiero also please note that in the original question the script is structured with ORDER nested inside HIERARCHIZE - in my answer I correctly swapped the nesting so that HIERARCHIZE is inside ORDER ..... then look at the users self-answer: swapping this order was, in my mind the important point and I actually felt slightly hard-done by as the user did not even up my answer. But all-in-all no big deal. – whytheq May 11 '16 at 15:13
(but even after saying the above I will review my answer as this is the AdvWrks cube and I will be able to create an exact answer - when I am back on a machine that has access to the cube) – whytheq May 11 '16 at 15:17

this is not the same script that you asked for in the original question - please can you amend it so that it includes the countries such as Canada and France? (I've amended it to get rid of all the redundant braces) – whytheq May 08 '16 at 08:18
