Sorting and Grouping by multi-value Choice columns - any options?

I found out the hard way that SharePoint doesn't support sorting or grouping lists by Choice columns that are set to "Allow Multiple Values." I'm stunned by this missing capability, and my project has come to a complete halt without it. It's like Microsoft only implemented hafl the feature -- you can put data in, but then you can't do anything with it. You can't even use the column in a formula in another column, so you can't parse it.
I'm not posting just to gripe though. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives? What do you do when you need to let people make multiple selections, and then you want to sort or group by those values? Are there any add-on products that allow this? At this point my only option seems to be to not allow multiple choices, but that's taking away a rather significant feature.
Thanks for any ideas,
Steve

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the reply and the additional questions. For my situation I want to use the multi-value choice to indicate a "belongs to" relationship, as in "this item belongs to projectA, projectB, and project C. Because there are more than 10 projects, I didn't want to create a separate Yes/No checkbox for each one.
For viewing the information, I'm looking primarily for a "group by" function. So if an item belongs to projectA, projectB, and projectC, it would appear three times, once under the grouping for each project. What I don't want is for a row that only belongs to projectA to be grouped separately from a row that belongs to both projectA and projectB. I want to see all the rows that belong to projectA grouped together, regardless of whether they also belong to other projects.
I'll look into using a grid control, but if you have any other suggestions I'll certainly listen.
Steve

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.

How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

Sorting and Grouping -Two months in this query

Hi All,
many thanks for jeneesh
i am doing project for construction company, i face this problem in grouping points according to relation between these points the
Relation is from 1 to 100. If the point between this rang that mean there is relation between these points.
this question already solve but the results not correct when the table has more data.
SQL - sorting and grouping.
from jeneesh and many thanks for him.
This example for more clarifications
for example i have these points
id   location         percentage   comments
1     loc 1,2          20%                that mean point 1 and 2 close to each other by 20%
2     loc 1,3          40%              that mean point 1 and 3 close to each other byy 40%
3     Loc 8,6          25%               that mean point 8 and 6 close to each other by 25%
4     Loc 6,10        20%
5     LOC 11,10        10 %
6     LOC 15,14         0%Also , we can see the relation between these points as follwoing
- points 1,2,3 in one group why becuase 1,2 has relation and 1,3 has relation that mean 1,3 also has hidden relation.
- Points 6,8,10,11 in second group there are relations between them .
- but no relation between 1 or 2 or 3 with any point of 6,8,9,10,11
- as well as no relation between 15, 14 that mean 14 in third group and 15 in fourth group.
whati need?
to group the points that has relation according to percentage value ascending
The most important part is to group the points. SO , the below query the gropuing is not correct.
I have the follwoing table with data
drop table temp_value;
create table temp_value(id number(10),location varchar2(20), percentage number(9));

Reporting counts on multi-value lookup columns

Hi,
I have a list containing 2 columns - student, and subjects. Subjects is a multi-value lookup column. Students may study multiple subjects. What I'm trying to achieve is a simple pie chart (I don't care if it's done using SharePoint Web Part, Excel or
SSRS) that displays a breakdown of how many students are studying each subject.
So if I have 2 list entries:
Person 1, Science, Maths
Person 2 , Maths
Person 3 , Science
The report/chart would report 2 Science and 3 Maths. What I'm struggling with is that because the data is stored in an un-normalized fashion ('#;') separated it's not possible to do straight charts without coding (C# or VBS). I
would have assumed that this issue would be widely spread but I've had no luck looking through forums. Does anyone have any experience/;ideas on how to handle this??
Thanks.

Hi
From your description, my understanding is that you want to get counted values of a Multi-Value lookup column.
You can get counted values of a Multi-Value lookup column
in DVWP using XSLT.
Refer to the following post:

Using member sorting and grouping with two reports sharing rows

Hi!
I have a problem with one report and I need some help or advise here.
I have two dimensions with dynamic expansion in rows (PRODUCT, MATERIAL), and I use the option Member Sorting and Grouping at Member selector to obtain the total amount of PRODUCT group by PARENTH1:
PRODUCT               MATERIAL          AMOUNT
TOTAL PROD_A-X                                   100
PROD_A_A             MAT1                          22
PROD_A_B             MAT1                          50
PROD_A_A             MAT2                          28
TOTAL PROD_B-X                                   120
PROD_B_A             MAT1                          30
PROD_B_A             MAT2                          50
PROD_B_B             MAT2                          40
This works fine if I only have one report, but I need to create another one sharing the row and page axis with the Default Report, when I do that the option Member Sorting and Grouping doesn't work. I really need to have two reports with shared rows and also the summation by PARENTH1, how can I do that?
Thank you very much

Ok, im new to numbers but i cant work this one out. In column A is an average of hours worked. I have 4 columns. A and B have different values. Column C is an average of hours worked. When column C is less then 8 i need column D to equal column a

Ok, im new to numbers but i cant work this one out. I have 4 columns. A and B have different values. Column C is an average of hours worked. When column C is less then 8 i need column D to equal column A. When column C is equal or greater then 8 i need column D to equal the sum of A and B.

Hi Lucas,
Try this:
Formula in D2 (and Fill Down) =IF(C2<8, A2,A2+B2)
The IF function follows the logic of if, then, else.
IF(this is true, then do this, else do that)
If it is raining, then stay at home, else hold a picnic .

TableModel with SORT and GROUP BY functions solution.

Hello all,
I'd like to represent an EnvelopeTableModel. This class is developed to incapsulate another TableModel and allow user to reorder and group data without changing original values and orders.
It allows to perform multi column sortings and grouping and
supports following group functions: EMPTY, COUNT, MIN, MAX, SUM, AVG.
Here you can download the library, demo version and documentation.

It would be great to know all your opinions.

About 1) and 3).
These suggestions are almost the same. These features will change GUI component but i want to improve TableModel instead of JTable.
Using the model user can use JTable for data representation.
Of course I can improve JTable component and add multiline row/column headers with ability to reorder/group data from component and a lot of another widgets but it isn't my goal.
About 2) What do you mean "crosstab"?
Thanks for your 2-cents :-).
With best regards

Sorting and Grouping in Projects View

In Projects view, when either of two of the three grouping options is selected, there are two sorts in effect: the groups themselves are sorted, and the contents of each group are sorted. These sorts are handled differently, depending on the grouping selected and the sort order selected.
(It appears that there is a bit of the old Apple voodoo in here. The results are arbitrary , but they seem to have been carefully chosen to meet most users expectations. That is to say -- and this is an Apple programming trait -- the arbitrariness is faithful to the expected users' needs, not to logic.)
There are four sorts available, and three groupings
Sorts:
. Name
. Date -- Oldest First
. Date -- Newest First
. Library
Groupings:
. Ungrouped
. Group by year
. Group by folder
So that's twelve possible ways to display Projects in Projects view.
Let's look at a few of them. I'm going to refer to the groups as "Year groups" or "Folder groups" and to the contents of the groups as "Projects". So there is sorting of the groups, and sorting of the contents of the groups (same as "within the group"). These I'll refer to as "Groups sorting" and "Projects sorting".
Sort: Date -- Newest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Date -- Oldest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Results are as expected; a reversal of the "Newest First" sort, but with the same groups: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are sorted alphabetically, descending.
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. (Note that this last is literal: a Project named "Aardvark Close-ups" if it's in a Folder named "Zoography" will be listed after all the projects in "Yellow Paintings" and all the Projects in "X-rays, thoracic" if those Projects are in alphabetical order by Folder name in the Library. You can see all the Projects in your Library listed on the Library tab of the Inspector by "{Option}+clicking" the disclosure triangle next to "PROJECTS & ALBUMS" twice.)
Sort: Date - Newest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, newest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder.
Sort: Date - Oldest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, oldest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector (see note above). Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are listed in the order they appear in the Library).

+I see those icons but note that those projects in folders will be in different sections arranged alpha, and then date within. Am I correct on that?+
The answer is, it depends.
If "Group by year" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be by date, regardless of the sort order specified. The Groups-sorting order will follow whatever is specified for the Projects sort order (or default to "oldest first").
If "Group by folder" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be alphabetical, descending, regardless of the sort order specified. (So if you use Projects view, take care in naming your Folders. Use prefixes if needed to force a desired alpha sort.)
If "Ungrouped" is selected, there are no Groups and perforce no Groups-sorting.
That's all I have to say on this topic (today).

Sorting based on a specific value in Columns

Hi All,
Crystal 2008 version I have. And we are connecting to BW queries as source.
In a crosstab, I want to sort my row values based on a column value.
For example, in rows I have an element with three values . In column I have only one element(month), with couple of month values. My requirement is to sort rows based on a specific month (Mar'09 for example).
.....................Jan'09......Feb'09.....Mar'09
ABC...............10.............323...........33....
XYZ...............32..............33............11....
FGH...............5................34.............55...
But when I try to sort based on the Month, I can not select a specific value(mar'09). And it sorts based on the total value (sum of all months).
How can I achieve this problem?
Thanks
Ozan

For {Sort Value}, if you wanted to sort on the Jan column, then substitute the field name that your example shows as 10 in row ABC. For {row value}, substitute the field name that is used in the first column (ABC in the example).
In other words, take the value that you want to sort on, and put it in front of the value currently displaying as the row header. Then, sort on the results.
The purpose of the "000000000.00" is to make the length of the number, when converted to string, a consistent size. This is needed (a) so you know how many characters to strip off when displaying the row value, and (b) so the records don't sort as 1, 12, 2, 234, 235423, 25, 3, ...
HTH,

Issues updating/setting multi value lookup columns via powershell

Hi All,
I have an issue updating multi values in a lookup field via powershell
I can update a single value lookup field as below but can't get to update if its multi value.
As stated below when I hardcode it. It works.
No idea what 'm missing. Any help will be appreciated.
#Hardcoded works below as you can see i'm setting 3 values
$array = @($realval.Split(';'))
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count - 1; $i += 2)
$word = $array[$i].Trim('#')
$number = $array[$i+1].Trim('#')
"$number $word"
$lookupvalue1 = GetLookUpValues -val $number
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue2 = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue3 = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
$lookupvalue.LookupId = 1
$lookupvalue2.LookupId = 2
$lookupvalue3.LookupId = 6
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue2)
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue3)
#$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues;
Write-Host "items:" $itemValues
$CMRSItems.Update()
# This works when its updating only one value but when it needs to update multivalue it only updates the last one
#so for example with the lookupvalue above only 6 gets updated below
$array = @($realval.Split(';'))
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count - 1; $i += 2)
$word = $array[$i].Trim('#')
$number = $array[$i+1].Trim('#')
#$number
"$number $word"
#send param to GetLoolValues func to return records as SPFieldLookupValue
$lookupvalue1 = GetLookUpValues -val $number
#I can view the lookupvalue returned successfully
#Write-Host $lookupvalue1
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
#This LookupId returns 3 values like on the hardcoded one above like so :1,2,6
$lookupvalue.LookupId = $number
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues;
#I can view the items returned successfully
Write-Host "items:" $itemValues
$CMRSItems.Update()

The problem I can see with your code is that the below line of code, you are instantiating inside the for loop. This should have been outside the for loop as by keeping it inside the loop you are overriding the value.
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
Please have a look at the below solution and modify your code as per your requirement. What I am trying to achieve in the below code is that I have a listA in which one of the field is being used as a multi-lookup in my listB.
$lookupCollection = $something.split(";")
$LookupMasterList=$web.Lists["ListA"]
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $lookupValueCollection = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
#Get the Lookup Item from Parent List
foreach($item in $lookupCollection){
IF([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($item.trim())) {
continue;
$LookupItem = $LookupMasterList.Items | Where-Object { $_.Item("FieldInternalName") -eq $item.trim()}
if($LookupItem -ne $null)
$myLookup = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPFieldLookupValue($LookupItem.ID,$item.trim())
$lookupValueCollection.Add($myLookup);
#Set the Lookup field value
if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($lookupValueCollection)){
continue;
else{
$newItem["Lookupfieldinternalname"] = $lookupValueCollection
The above logic has no hard coding and it fetches the lookup information directly from the master list and generates a collection based on that. You can modify the above code as per your requirement.

Swatches CS3 - Sorting and grouping possible?

Hello,
a simple question. Is it possible to sort or group swatches?
If the answer is yes, how do I do it?
Thanks,

You can select and drag them up and down the panel.

Set top and bottom inset spacing values in Text Frame Options via jsx script

I am looking for a way to set the top and bottom inset spacing values only to 2 points in Text Frame Options via a .jsx scrpt.
For years, I have used a script that sets Preferences, such as:
with(app.storyPreferences){
    opticalMarginAlignment = false;
    opticalMarginSize = 12;                // pts
I would like to add the code to this same script that would make Top = 0p2 and Bottom 0p2 but leave Left and Right as 0p0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the full .jsx file that we now use to set preferences.
Ideally, this could be modified to include setting any text frame created to have 0p2 inset Top and Bottom, but 0p0 Left and Right:
//ApplicationTextDefaults
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//Sets the application text defaults, which will become the text defaults for all

Sorting and null for monetary values in a report

All,
I think this should be an easy one, and I've just missed something obvious.
I have a standard report in APEX 3.2.1 that includes a column with a monetary amount in it. I want the column to show the UK Pound sign, be sortable, and show nulls where appropriate.
The issue I have is I can't find a way to achieve all 3 in a satisfctory way. As I see it the options would be:
1) In the SQL for the report, concat the pound sign to the column required, e.g. SELECT '£'||amount FROM....
The issue is that this makes this field a CHAR field, so sorting would not sort in the same way as for a number field.
2) Use the Number format FML999...etc. in the Column Attribute.
The problem with this is that this is a multi-country database, and the default monetary unit is set to the US dollar.
3) Use the HTML expression box in the Column attribute to display £#COL#
This fulfills the pound sign and retaining the number format, but unfortunately a null value is displayed as a £ sign with no numbers. I can't think how to get it to leave that value in the report as completely blank.
As I said, I'm sure I've missed soemthing obvious. If anyone can spot how to achieve this it'd be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jon.

The NLS currency symbol can be modified on the fly if you have some means of identifying user location/preference: {thread:id=990848} (ignore the last post)
However, it probably doesn't make sense to do that—£100 ≠ $100 (at least I hope not!)—unless there's some kind of conversion occurring in the report? Is there a currency stored along with the amount?

Use 2 columns, one for the amount, and one for the currency, with a switch to include or exclude the latter as necessary:
select
          ename
        , comm amount
        , nvl2(comm, '£', null) currency
from
          emp
where
          job in ('SALESMAN', 'MANAGER')
ENAME      AMOUNT                 CURRENCY
ALLEN      300                    £
WARD       500                    £
JONES
MARTIN     1400                   £
BLAKE
CLARK
TURNER     0                      £                                Then use both columns in the Amount HTML Expression:
#CURRENCY##AMOUNT#

Sorting and grouping issue in WDP-ALV table

   lr_field->if_salv_wd_sort~create_sort_rule(
          EXPORTING
            sort_order        = if_salv_wd_c_sort=>sort_order_ascending
            group_aggregation = abap_true ).
And while binding data, I'm sorting the internal table having data as below
SORT wd_assist->gt_details_table(itab) BY bproc bsubproc function field ASCENDING.And output is as follows
In the above snapshot, The sorting is getting disturbed on colunm: Function......
But required output should be as below
Pls help me how to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Sandesh,
When we use the SALV_WD_TABLE component to display ALV, by default, all columns are arranged in the same order as the attributes in the context node of your
application.
You need to add the following code in the wddomodifyview( ) method of your View.
METHOD wddomodifyview
data:lt_columns type salv_wd_t_column_ref,
        ls_column type salv_wd_s_column_ref,
        lo_column type ref to cl_salv_wd_column ,
        lo_ref_cmp_usage type ref to if_wd_component_usage,
       lo_ref_interfacecontroller type ref to iwci_salv_wd_table ,
       lo_value type ref to cl_salv_wd_config_table.
* Get reference to the Component usage of the ALV.
lo_ref_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lo_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lo_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
* Get reference to the Interface controller of the ALV.
lo_ref_interfacecontroller= wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
lo_value = lo_ref_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
* Get the Columns of the ALV
CALL METHOD lo_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns
RECEIVING
value = lt_columns.
* Get reference to each column and set the column position
LOOP AT lt_columns INTO ls_column.
lo_column = ls_column-r_column.
CASE ls_column-id.
WHEN 'VBELN'.
lo_column->set_position('1').
WHEN 'MATKL'.
lo_column->set_position('2').
WHEN 'POSNR'.
lo_column->set_position('3').
WHEN 'MATNR'.
lo_column->set_position('4').
ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.
Hope this helps you to resolve your issue.
Thanks

XSL - Sort and Group?

Hello,
Anyone know if there is a way to do something like this?
Original XML:
<item>
<word>word1</word><num>10</num><num2>9</num2>
</item>
<item>
<word>word2</word><num>5</num><num2>3</num2>
</item>
<item>
<word>word1</word><num>7</num><num2>6</num2>
</item>
I want to do something like group on <word> and sort accending on sum(<num>), min(<num2>) and end up with this:
<item>
<word>word1</word><num>17</num><num2>6</num2>
</item>
<item>
<word>word2</word><num>5</num><num2>3</num2>
</item>
Is this possible?
thanks,
chad.

Here's a start. See Chapter 9 of my book for a complete explanation of how to exploit XSLT keys like database functional indexes to make grouping operations like this be fast in XSLT. It takes a bit to wrap your mind around why and how it works and the book has figures that help illustrate this.

<list>
<item>
<word>word1</word><num>10</num><num2>9</num2>
</item>
<item>
<word>word2</word><num>5</num><num2>3</num2>
</item>
<item>
<word>word1</word><num>7</num><num2>6</num2>
</item>
</list>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:key name="g" match="item" use="word"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<list>
<xsl:for-each select="list/item[generate-id(.)=generate-id(key('g',word)[1])]">
<xsl:sort data-type="number" select="sum(key('g',word)/num)"/>
<xsl:variable name="items-with-same-word" select="key('g',word)"/>
<item>
<word><xsl:value-of select="word"/></word>
<num><xsl:value-of select="sum($items-with-same-word/num)"/></num>
<num2><xsl:value-of select="sum($items-with-same-word/num2)"/></num2>
</item>
</xsl:for-each>
</list>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>This produces the output:
<list>
<item>
<word>word2</word>
<num>5</num>
<num2>3</num2>
</item>
<item>
<word>word1</word>
<num>17</num>
<num2>15</num2>
</item>
</list>
