**//Order by (Moves)//** \\
The order by clause for the locations that need to be retrieved.\\
A predefined value can be selected:
  * CASE COUNT( "PMX_INVT"."InternalKey" ) WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, ISNULL("PAZ"."Sequence", 999999999),CASE WHEN "PAZ"."SortPickSequenceDescending" = 'Y' THEN "PMX_OSSL"."Sequence" *-1 ELSE "PMX_OSSL"."Sequence"  END,"PMX_OSSL"."Code"

It sorts the location on:
