Answer / dhirendra

Segregate the header, trailer & body by either using part
by expression component or using filter by exp. Use
next_in_sequence() function to a new column of the data
record. Use sort on descending to sort the data on the
next_in_sequence() column.

Answer / avijit

Filter the header and trailer records by using FBE or you can use dedupsort.
i/p-->Dedupsort(Keep 1st)-->Dedupsort(Keep last)-->Reformat(out.Rank::next_in_sequence())-->Sort(Rank,Desc)-->o/p

Use dedup sort to remove header and trailer records. Next
by using scan component generate seqeunce number, then sort
according to the seqeunce number(Desc).
