Sorting problems in LT03

The problem is the sorting of TO items for a pick delivery (LT03). In some cases we have the situation that the TO item sort is incorrect. Then we cancel the TO's (LT15) and recreate the pick TO's (LT03) and the item sort is correct!
This process requires us to check every picklist if the route through the warehouse is ok and if not do the additional steps described above.
We checked the sorting profile (Split TO customizing etc), but this is ok, because the second time it works ok. We are looking for a common ground between the TO's/Deliveries for which this happens, but so far no luck.
Is this a known problem. Please advice because it is undermining the performance in the warehouse.

Hi
The sorting order of the Quarter can be maintained as u want
for that u need to just set the property of the Top 10 condition
In the characteristics assignment select characteristic which appear just after the quarter char
under the Individual Chars. and Char. combination
In short dont make a tick on Quarter characteristics..
and try this
Hope this helps

Sorting Problem in FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table

Hi,
FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table storing the record FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_N1(MENU_ID,PROMPT,LANGUAGE) wise in R12. But whereas in 11i, records stored FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_U1(MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE).
I am confused, whether i need to recreate the index in R12, so the records will get store MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE wise.
Could any one please suggest me how to resolve this problem.
Thanks,

Sorting problems in Grid View

Hi, I'm having a bit of a sorting problem when it comes to an artist with name variations. The example I'm going to use is DJ Tiesto.
There are album I have where he is credited as DJ Tiesto, and others where he is simply Tiesto.
In the end, I'd like these albums sorted chronologically under one name (say DJ Tiesto), while still preserving and showing the proper artist name for each album. I have it set to sort by "Album by Year", which is working fine.
The major problem I am having is that I can't get it to display properly across all iTunes viewing methods: List mode, Grid mode, and Coverflow.
I've tried leaving the Artist field alone, and changing the Sort Artist field to "DJ Tiesto" for all songs, and that almost works:
-List mode groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Coverflow sorts them all in chronological order, while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
Problem is, Grid mode sorted by ARTIST creates two separate artists! Some for DJ Tiesto and some for Tiesto!
To correct this I tried changing the Album Artist field for all songs to "DJ Tiesto", which solved that problem but created a bunch of new ones:
-List mode is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", *however now it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Grid mode sorted by Artist is now grouping them all under "DJ Tiesto", *however it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Coverflow is sorting them in correct chronological order, *however it as well is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
Using the Album Artist tag has created more problems that it has solved! Is there anyone who knows a way to achieve what I am trying to do? I have tried seemingly every option I can and have still not found a way to do this!!
Thanks!

My own method of working involves renaming the files upon import to:
i "shotdate_sequencenumber"
Files are therefore typically named
b 2007-11-25_001
etc.
This way, sorting by Filename automatically sorts by Date by default. And it wouldn't even matter if you added a descriptive text in between the date and number (
b 2007-11-25_Scotland_001

Sorting problem in standard vendor search help

Hi all,
I'm enhancing the vendor search help.
I found that there is a sorting problem in the original standard search help.
The 1st time to search vendor in the search help returns a correct list, then I just sort the vendor in ascending order. This time the column name of the hit list changes and mismatch the actual values.
Any one faced this problem before?
What's wrong are there ?
Thanks.

Thanks Peluka.
But even I don't enhance the vendor search help, I still found that the original standard version has this problem after sorting.
Is that the program bug?
Have anyone encountered this problem before?

Sort problem in a report

Hi,
I'm using the sort on a report with 7 columns. For each column I've specified
the sort sequence from 1 to 7. The last sort is a date field. If i sort now the
last column and i change to next report side the sort change jump to the first column.
Is there somebody who had also a problem like this?
Greets,
Tom

You can check boxes to determine which columns can be sorted; if you check one or more boxes, you also need to set the "Sort Sequence" attribute under the "Report Attributes" tab of your SQL query region. So to use sorting you must.
1. ensure you don't have an order by in your SQL statement
2. check one or more "sort" boxes
3. set the default order in one or more column in the "sort sequence" column
Hope this helps,
Mike

Sorting Problem in XML Publisher Report

Dear Members,
I am facing problems with sorting data in my XML Publisher Report.
We are using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Version and i developed a rtf Template and executable is an RDF which generates XML Data.
I want the whole report to group by element ITEM_NAME which is a character in the ascending order. I tried several ways but it is not working properly.
I don't know how to upload the RTF template in this forum. I tried to post the XML Code and since its excceds 30000 characters i cant post it in the forum.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

You can't upload the template here; you can post a part of the relevant XML code and template code here.
or send me a sample XML and RTF template to [email protected] and I will take a look.

Mail sorting problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I have a strange problem with Mail after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading, when I tried to search my Mail Inbox for e-mails from a specific sender, the esearch results would be indexed by the name of the sender. For example: when I entered 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail, it would display a list of email from 'John Smith'
Now after upgrading, the same query indexes the search results by the 'To' address i.e. my email address.For example: if my name is 'Steve Johnson', a search for 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail displays a list of email to 'Steve Johnson' and not from 'John Smith' which is how it used to display before.
My emails are sorted by Date always, and I am using the default Mail view [not classic view]
Can someone please help with a fix for this to help me get back to the original display I had while searching? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem. It's incredibly annoying!!! Did you find an answer?

Help with Artist Sort Problem Needed...

This is a bit long, so I'll start with the three main questions and below them is the backstory and detail of the problem (I did do a search but nothing turned up):
1) Does anyone know how to fix artist sorting issues where the artists are properly sorted (alphabetically by last name and band name) but there are constant grey-bar letter headings for the first name (sorry...I don't know how to explain better than I do below in detail)
2) Will re-setting the Touch require I have to...
a) re-add all the songs I've manually selected again
b) re-input any data saved to apps (such as CarCare and
Pocketpedia) and if so, can I backup that data first?
3) If all the re-doing in 2 above is necessary if I were to re-set the iPod, can anyone think of an alternative fix that would avoid a reset?
I might be able to get to an Apple store this weekend to ask a "genius" but I'm not that confident in them since I was given some incorrect information on how the Touch handles playlists at the time of original purchase.
Okay... now, what happened:
I'm not sure what to make of this, fortunately playback and all main functions are unaffected. I have my iPod Touch 2g set for manual sync. Today, while I was charging it at work, my PC (WinXP) froze. I gave it plenty of time to unfreeze, but eventually had no choice but to do a hard reboot while the iPod said "syncing." I slid the slider to cancel the sync, but the iPod didn't respond. I unhooked it from the PC and it unfroze. I shut it down and re-started.
Everything seemed fine after the iPod reboot except that now, while the artists are still sorted alphabetically (I've manually set artists to sort by last name), there are headers using the first letter of the first name between each artist. So, for instance, this is how the top of my artist list looks now (lines below with just a letter are the grey divider bar with the alphabetical header):
R
Ryan Adams
D
Dave Alvin
T
Tori Amos
E
Eric Andersen
A
Apples in Stereo
Arcade Fire
L
Louis Armstrong
A
Ataris
...etc.
This problem has not extended to album or song title fields, but for some reason, when scrolling through the album view using the index on the right, it moves fine until "O" -- then it sits still as I scroll down until it gets to "#", at which point it's resposnive again.
I've checked the music library on the iPod via iTunes and the artist sort fields are still correct.
Suggestions? I'm new to the Touch and am leery of doing a reset yet since it's taken time to figure out which songs from my 100+gb library to manually put on this. Also, I have no idea how it will affect the apps I've downloaded. There are some where I've saved data (such as CarCare and Pocketpedia) and I REALLY don't want to risk having to re-input all that data.
To anyone with any words of advice, thanks in advance.

This is an answer to only qestion 2. Yes restoring your ipod will delete all songs, apps, videos, etc., but you can back up settings like a passcode lock or screen brightness. But it will ask if you want to back up settings. If your'e on windows, in itunes go to file and down almost all the way you will see a "Tranfer purchases from (ex.) steves ipod" and that will make sure you have all your apps and music and other stuff.

JTable sorting - problem when adding elements (complete code inside)

I�m writing this email with reference to a recent posting here but this time with the code example. (I apologize for the duplicated posting � this time it will be with the code)
Problem: when adding more elements to the JTable (sorted) the exception: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
Example: If the elements in the table are 10 and then the user requests for 8 � the table will produce the correct result. However, if the user will ask for 11 items (>10) the exception will be thrown.
The program: The program below (compiles and running). A JTable is constructed with 3 items, when you click the button - the return result should be 4 items - this will generate the error, WHY?
I would highly appreciate your thoughts why this is happening and most importantly � how to fix it.
Thanks a lot

The table listens to the TableModel for changes. Changing the table by adding/removing
rows or columns has no affect on its table model. If you make changes to the table model
the table will be notified by its TableModelListener and change its view. So tell
MyTableModel about the change of data:
public class TableSorterDemo implements ActionListener
    MyTableModel tableModel;
    public TableSorterDemo()
        defaultListModel = new DefaultListModel();
        init1();
        tableModel = new MyTableModel(defaultListModel);
        TableSorter sorter = new TableSorter(tableModel);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
        if (ae.getSource()==clickMe)
            defaultListModel.removeAllElements();
            init2();
            tableModel.fireTableStructureChanged();
}

Report Column Sorting problem

I have a report based on a view. For some reason some of the columns are not being sorted correctly. After pressing the column header to sort date columns the underlying data is not sorted properly (its out of order) or its not sorted at all.
Can you please let me know if there is a known bug causing that?

I think I'm having the same problem.
I have a report with data columns, several "not shown" columns, and several column links. I've noticed that any columns in the query after a certain point, will not sort the correct column. If I show all the columns and allow them all to sort, then some of the columns will sort the data in another column. (for example clicking on the header/sort link for column x sorts the table by column y and clicking on the sort link for column z sorts column x, etc).
I've noticed that I can move columns around in my select query and no matter how they are arranged, after the 7th or 8th column in the select statement, none of the columns following that will sort properly. I've tried all kinds of things, changing my select query around, enabling and disabling sorting, adding additional null columns in, setting and unsetting the default sort order, changing the order of the columns in the report. I don't have an order by in my query or anything weird besides some where clauses (most of which are from the default search functionality).
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? We just upgraded from HTML DB 2.2 to APEX 3.0 and the problem remained the same.
Thanks,
Greg

Sorting problem in BEx/Portal

Hi all,
I am facing a problem while sorting an Infoobject in BEx or in portal.
For e.g I am having a PO Status Report in which I have PO, Trasaction description and calday.Now when I am executing that report in BEx and on right clicking -> Sort PO with Ascending/desceding by key/ Text it is working fine but while sorting the other characteristics like Trasaction description or calday the sort functionality is not working.
Please let me know why this is happening.
Thank you.

I have also tried with changing the sort characteristic setting in the display properties of query designer but no outcome.
Is it something like sort functionality will work with only master data or key fields or transactional data.
Please let me know if this is the case with sort functionality.
Because for my queries the sort function is only working for key fields which is defined at the Infoprovider level.
Thank you.

Numbers sorting problem

I know that this problem may have been asked before but I searched and could not find a similar situation.
I have a spreadsheet that will not sort the contents of a cell correctly. As an example, the table has two columns, the first is formatted as a date, the second as text data. I enter dates in random order and just put a, b, c, d etc in order in the second column. Selecting one cell in the second column, I add background color and a black line border.
When I sort using the date column, the color background moves with the letter but the black border stays at the original cell address.
Is this a bug, or have I missed a setting somewhere?

Yes, it does do that. Without documentation saying what it is supposed to do, it isn't proper to call it a bug. Maybe that was an intended result. Seems kind of strange to move the fill color but not the borders but I can think of examples where you might want it that way, or the opposite way, or for both to move or neither to move.
Edit: I note that Excel 2008 does the same thing. Therefore it makes it very difficult to call it a bug. I do not know if Excel has any settings to change that behavior. To my knowledge, Numbers does not.

Sorting problem with baseball averages

Please help. I am new to iworks and am learning as I go. Overall I really just love it. Here is the proect that I am working on: I am doing a spreadsheet with the statistics for my son's baseball team. The spreadsheet looks really great. What I have is the following: individual averages for each player, and at the bottow of the row of averages, the overall team average.
The problem is that when I try to sort the row decending averages, the row does show the highest to the lowest average, but instead of leaving the team average at the very bottom, it is placing it within the individual team averages. So if the team average is .263, then the team average may end up between an average for a child of .300 and another with .250. How do I correct this so that the team average remains at the very bottom?
Also, the Averages display as 0.333. How do I get rid of the 0 in front of the .3?
thanks!!

Hi Docal,
Place the AVERAGE formula into a Footer Row. Header and Footer Rows are not included in sorts.
The leading zero on the averages, although not in line with baseball practices, is mathematically correct notation.
You can eliminate it by setting a custom format for cells in that column.
Drag the Decimals element to the format box, select it, and press the up arrow key to add a third decimal place.
Then, click the Integers Element placed in the box by default and press delete to delete it.
These steps have been completed in the illustration.
Regards,
Barry

JSP TableView Sorting Problem

Any help would be greatly apprciated and rewarded...

Hi Don,
be aware that after the method onHeaderClick(Event event) is executed the method doProcessBeforeOutput() is executed as well.
I look over your code and found the following:
1) In method onHeaderClick you sort the table model and store the table model in the bean
2) In method doProcessBeforeOutput() you create a new table model from scratch (in helper method tableViewFormat())and store it in the bean. Thus you overwrite the sorted model.
I suggest that you move the initial creation of the table model in method doInitialization(). Do not forget to store the created table in the bean. In method doProcessBeforeOutput() you retrieve the table model from the bean instead of creating a new one for every request.
Best regards,
Martin

I obtained them in simple forlders labeled vol1, vol2 and vol3 and each track is named with a prefix such as "V1 Ch03 Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3". Oddly about half actually retain the full name and sort out properly but the rest do not. For instance the example in question becomes " Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3" and not sorting tricks can get them in order.
Before I starting fooling with the names is there somethign else I can do? I have turned off "automatically check for track names" option on iTunes but the same result. Are the spaces causing problems? I don't want to change the names as I would like to share these and others won't figure out the sequence.
There doesn't seem to be an option for date created sorting which may solve the issue. Also iTunes seems to be reading some meta data as the "album name" changes. It seems the lectures were originally released in a different series and recently compiled in the order created, the latter being preferrable.
Any help appreciated!
Happy Holidays!
