- Use the sortdate attribute to control how activities are sorted by date. By default, the sortdate attribute value is null. You must include business logic to populate the date value that will be set for this attribute and then use the sortdate attribute within the query defined for the view. You can set the sortdate attribute value using a workflow or a plug-in. For consistent results, you should set this value for every type of activity and any existing activity data in the system.

This uploads an attachment that has been decoded into a base64 string format. The [System.Convert.ToBase64String](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/system.convert.tobase64string.aspx) method can be used to convert the contents of a data file into a base64-formatted string. The maximum size of files that can be uploaded is determined by the **Organization.MaxUploadFileSize** property. This property is set in the **Email** tab of the **System Settings** in the Dynamics 365 application. This setting limits the size of files that can be attached to email messages, notes, and web resources. The default setting is 5 MB.
