KB203880: How to Remove the Sort Buttons Only in Reports Using MicroStrategy Web SDK 9.4.1?

SUMMARY: 
Sometimes it is required to remove the sort buttons only for reports or only for documents. The Tools menu has an option for Sort Buttons, but it will enable/disable it for reports and documents.
The steps below show how to disable them for reports only.
Using the Web Customization Editor

1. Create a custom class that extends AggregatedWebFeatures
2. Choose to inherit the default methods.
3. Set the return value to 'true' for the resolveCustomFeature method.
4. Override the resolveFeature method. 
5. Add the code below inside this method
   

   
   public boolean resolveFeature(String feature) {
    
       if (feature.equalsIgnoreCase("check-show-sort-buttons")) {
           RWBean rwbean = (RWBean) getWebComponent();
           AppContext appContext = (AppContext) rwbean.getBeanContext();
           String pageName = appContext.getCurrentPage().getName();
           System.out.println(pageName);
           
           if (pageName.equalsIgnoreCase("rwd")) {
               System.out.println("This is the RWD page");
               return false;
           } 
           
           else 
               return super.resolveFeature(feature);
       }
       return super.resolveFeature(feature);
   }
