What you state accurately matches my findings. But the question remains: Why are we prevented from using the many fundamental parameters not included under the technical list? And why was a Fundamental button with access to those criteria placed with the Sort function if there wasn't intent to use such criteria?

As far as I understand, the difference between those criteria listed under technical vs only under fundamental is whether there is historical data or just the latest value. The later would prevent building a dynamic list, but still be valuable for live trading.

I don't know, but it seems like a relatively easy software fix to make these criteria work as a SortVal. Maybe I need to go to Quantopian and run some scenarios in order to make a case for whether there is enough value here.
