Sort a single filed

Hiii,
Can I sort a single field of a internal table without affecting other fields? ie the other fields should remain as it was before after the sorting...only the field written in the sort clause should be sorted.
Reply urgently.

Its not possible with Sort stmt. You have to do with some ABAP logic taking that column in to other table, sort it and assign back to original internal table.
Hope it helps.

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column)

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column) in NUMBERS

Numbers sorting follows a database model in which each row is a 'record' rather than a collection of unrelated data items. When a table is sorted, the integrity of the individual records (rows) is maintained.
If you need to sort a single column, that column (or its data) must be separated from the rest of the table.
That can be done using copy/paste (as described above by Wayne), or by taking the column to be sorted out of the table, dropping it on the sheet to form a new, single column table, doing the sort, then returning the column to the original table.
The 3 1/2 step process takes longer to describe than to do.

Concatenating table text into a single filed

Hi all,
pls provide the solution for the below.
i have an internal table i_tlines with two fields. first field is no and 2nd field is a text field.
suppose table contains data as follows:
1        abcd
2        xyz
3        fgh
4        dfgh
now the requirement is i want to concatenate all the above four into a single filed.
so output has to come 'abcd xyz fgh dfgh'.
regards
Venkat

Hi,
try this way..
If i_tlines-field2 is the one which contains the values ( abcd, ....)
data: v_string type string.
loop at i_tlines into wa_tlines.
concatenate v_string
                  wa_tlines-field2
            into v_string
    separated by space.
clear wa_tlines.
endloop.
Hope thsi will help.

Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

Hi
I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
Now by using the sort control i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
a) first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
b) then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
c) now sorts on the rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
Now other user may do
a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
b) then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
c) now user sorts on the region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
Please let me know if you require any information on the same.

smitha

Hello,
   Good Day!
   Thanks for your answer.
   Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
   Do i need to create a static parameter?
   I get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
   i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like
    (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
    & " " & {@date}
   else
    IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
    " " &{@date}
   else
   IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
     " " &{@date})
    I could not understand what this formula is really doing .
    Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
              Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
              Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :- ??
             Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :- Filed names ??
             use of 1.{} :- ??
step3: place the below formula in the page header to display the sort order
    (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
in this case how the sort control will work ?
As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
The report is used by the whole organization ..
i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

smitha.

Sub: How to update value of a single filed in the standard table without u

Hi experts,
In the standard webdynpro component , i want to change particular field value based on some condition. I cannot use bind table to update the single value, because other filed attributes are getting cleared .so is there any way to update only particular row related field value. Please let me know. This is very urgent. Please post if you have any idea.

Hi,
It is clearing because you are just updating only that particular field direclty.,
instead First You read the selected Row using get_static_attributes( ls_tab ) method .
no in ls_tab modify your required field and then rebind it .
hope this clears your doubt.,

How can i sort a single AdvancedDataGridColumn in a AdvancedDataGrid?

Hello,
I am using a ADG, which populates the returned data(arraycollection) from database. I'm generating a counter on java side for each returned record and showing that counter in ADGcolumn. I just want to sort that particular column.
When i debug the application, i'm getting the counter count properly but when its showing in ADG, sorting is missing. when i clicks on coloum header, then only its showing in ascending order, i need to show up in ascending order without clicking on column header.
Can anyone help me in this issue??

Hi Johnny,
Thanks for your helpful code, its really working for me.
but i have an issue, once i apply the sort, i'm getting number '1' and down arrow symbol on ADGcolumnheader.
i'm using a itemrenderer to get rid of '1' but i need to make invisible the down arrow symbol too.
sortExpertMode property is working for other columns but not for the column which i'm applying sort.
Here is the code which disabling the number on columnheader:
package
import mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridSortItemRenderer;
import mx.core.UITextField;
public class ADGSortItemRenderer extends AdvancedDataGridSortItemRenderer{
public function ADGSortItemRenderer(){
//TODO: implement function
override protected function childrenCreated():void{
super.childrenCreated();
//Get reference to sort number text field
var sortOrderTextField:UITextField = this.getChildAt(0) as UITextField;
if(sortOrderTextField != null){
//Hide sort number text field
sortOrderTextField.includeInLayout =
false;sortOrderTextField.visible =
false;}
here is the image:
is there any way to disable both the number(1) & down arrow??
Thanks,

Dear Hussain
I am trying to personalize form taking help from referred documents. I am facing following problem:
Main form is == Supplier screen
from Supplier Screen you have "Sites' button for sub-form of Sites
and in Sub-form (sites) you have differents fields and Tabs.
I want all these fields and tabs to be disable except the Tab which do have 'Hold /Unhold' payment field.
the issue is that :
The TAB PAGE within a form cannot be eliminated which is mentioned in DOC ID 420518.1.
If a Tab within a form has no items directly rendered on it, that Tab will not appear in the list of objects that user can modify
How I can achieve this goal?

Hi, I solved the same problem by modifying the sort() method in the default TableSorter class so that it takes a column id and direction rather than an event.
I assume you have read the TableSorter tutorial.
Like this. (This was done on nw ce 7.1 btw but may work on older versions as well.
Oh and then you just call the sort method right after you have made the request
//Code that goes into controller/view to execute sorting
wdContext.currentContextElement().getPensionplanTableSorter().sort("MyColumnId", "Up", wdContext.nodePensionPlan());
//Part of TableSorter.java
//The original method that needs an event. Now it just calls the new method
public void sort(IWDCustomEvent wdEvent, IWDNode dataSource) {
     // find the things we need
     String columnId = wdEvent.getString("selectedColumn");
     String direction = wdEvent.getString("sortDirection");
     sort(columnId, direction, dataSource);
//This is the new method.
public void sort(String columnId, String direction, IWDNode dataSource) {
     if (columnId == null || direction == null ) {
          return;
     IWDTableColumn column = (IWDTableColumn) table.getView().getElement(columnId);
     NodeElementByAttributeComparator elementComparator =
(NodeElementByAttributeComparator) comparatorForColumn.get(column);
     if (elementComparator == null){
     //not a sortable column
          column.setSortState(WDTableColumnSortDirection.NOT_SORTABLE);
          return;
     // sorting
     elementComparator.setSortDirection(WDTableColumnSortDirection.valueOf(direction));
     dataSource.sortElements(elementComparator);

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Sort multiple files as TV shows?!?

I've got a lot of TV shows my friend gave me (for example South Park and Happy Tree Friends). But there's one thing that really bugs me out, that is that whenever I import a video file into iTunes it gets sorted as a Movie so I have to sort every single file as a TV show, very boring to do, just because there's no way of selecting multiple files and ⌘I them and sort TV shows. Why in the world are there so little options in +Multiple Item Info?+
+*Please Help Me!*+

Hey, Meg, how about legally recorded shows transferred from a Tivo? Or VHS? I have many of those, plus all the DVDs I've backed up into iTunes, so I can watch them through my AppleTV and have the DVDs all in a box in my basement.
The UI for dealing with TV Shows is terrible, a complete afterthought. The tag fields are very much structured around songs (Why do movies have an Album field? And not a Director field?), and I can't sync specific episodes of a TV Show to my iPhone. Once upon a time, I could make a playlist with TV episodes, and sync that playlist, but that ability appears to be gone: I no longer see that playlist in any of my tabs where I pick the info to sync.
If I create a playlist with one song and one tv show, and set that to sync, it syncs the song only. Yet if I just give in, and label all my TV shows movies, I can sync anything I want. It's terrible.

I'm an expert on Excel and recently switched to a Mac and am now using Numbers. It should be simple to alpha order a single column of words, but after three days I can't get any options to work.
When I try to sort just the column and select just the column name and just the selected cells it sorts the entire spreadsheet over and over again. Instant alpha is grayed out an unusable from the Format menu.
PLEASE HELP! How can I get a single column of words to sort in alpha order. Nothing I've tried works and when I follow the help menu instructions it still sorts the entire spreadsheet and not just the selected column.

Hi Need',
Welcome to Apple Discussion and the Numbers '09 forum.
Numbers considers all of the date in a row to be a set (in database terms, a record), and sorts accordingly.
Here are two ways to sort a single column:
1. Copy the data from the column, Paste into a single-column table (or an otherwise empty table with any number of columns), perform the sort, then copy the newly sorted data and paste it back into the original column.
2. Grab the column you wish to sort, tear it out of its table to form a new single column table. Sort, then drag it back into position and drop it back into the original table.
The second method requires some explanation, which you'll find on page 58 of the Numbers '09 User Guide, or in more detail, in this discussion from a few days ago. Scan the thread for this image, check that message and the ones below it.
On another note, you wrote:
Instant alpha is grayed out an unusable from the Format menu.
Instant alpha refers to the alpha channel which may be added to a graphic object to create transparency. It's not connected with sorting text or numbers. More in the Numbers '09 User Guide under "Removing the Background or Unwanted Elements from an Image" in Chapter 9, _Working with Shapes, Graphics, and Other Objects_.
The numbers '09 User Guide, and its reference companion, the iWork formulas and Functions User Guide, are excellent resources, and well worth downloading and spending a bit of time with. They can be had through the Help menu in Numbers.
