The following table lists all of the data points that you can display in columns on this page.

Name | Description
--- | ---
Name | The name of this JMS destination key.
Sort Key | The message property name or the name of a message header field on which to sort. Message header field keys start with the letters "JMS" and ignore the Key Type field. (For better performance, use message header fields as sorting keys, rather than message properties.) Range of Values: The JMS Property name (including user properties) or message header fields that can be sorted on are: JMSMessageID JMSTimestamp JMSCorrelationID JMSPriority JMSExpiration JMSType JMSRedelivered JMSDeliveryTime Note: This attribute is not dynamically configurable. MBean Attribute: `JMSDestinationKeyMBean.Property` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Key Type | The expected sort key type for this JMS destination key. (This field is ignored for message header field keys, which have an implied type.) MBean Attribute: `JMSDestinationKeyMBean.KeyType` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Direction | The direction (Ascending or Descending) in which this key will sort messages. Select `Ascending` for a FIFO (first in, first out) sort order. Select `Descending` for a LIFO (last in, first out) sort order. Note: This attribute is not dynamically configurable. MBean Attribute: `JMSDestinationKeyMBean.Direction` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
