Alpha numeric sorting - Array

Hello all,
I am stuck in a situation where in my Array has values like this:
["01", "03", "XY", "07", "AB"].
I need to have the array sorted where in the order should be
["AB", "XY", "01' , "03, "07"].
The value "AB" and "XY" should always be the first two and then the numeric values needs to be sorted in asc order.
Could some one help

You probably need to break the array into two arrays first to separate the numeric strings from the alphabetic strings. Sort them in their separate arrays an join them back together into a single array.

Alpha numeric Sorting Issue with BIP-Siebel report

Hi All,
The report contains a column called 'Site Name' which contains alpha-number values such as '111 street', '4th Cross', 'Road cross', 'North end street' etc. The sorting expected here is in the form:
111 street
412 Cross
North end street
Road cross
I am currently using the following syntax for sorting the same - <?sort:(xdoxslt:convert_case(SiteName,'UPPER'));'ascending';data-type='text'?>
However, the output which I am getting is not as per expected.
North end street
Road cross
111 street
412 Cross
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks,
Arun

Try This:
<?sort:SiteName;lang='no'?>
or
<?sort:string-length(substring-before ('01234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
,substring(SiteName,1,1))) ;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
or
<?sort:string-length(substring-before ('01234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
,substring(SiteName,1,1))) ;'descending';data-type='number'?>

How do I get multiple files to open in the same alpha-numeric sort order in which they are displayed in Finder?

If I drag a bunch of files to, e.g., Adobe Photoshop they seem to open in strange orders. This makes automating any sort of editing workflow next to impossible. Is there some way to get programs to open files in the same order in which I see them? This is the default behaviour in Windows and it's really helpful when you have hundreds of files (or even just a few) that need to be processed in a certain order. Thanks for any help you might provide.

You're welcome.
What's likely happened is that when you transferred the video to the new machine they lost their dates.
Photos use the Exif metadata to record the date and time of the shot. This is quite different from the date and time of the file, which can change as the file is copied from place to place. Video doesn't have Exif, and so iPhoto uses the file date, and that's changed.
Simply, there's no absoultely reliable way to date video.
Try assign dates with the Batch Change command under the Photos menu.

Trouble sorting in alpha-numeric order

Can someone please help me figure out why iPhoto doesn't know how to sort things alpha-numerically by title?
For example, I am importing photos from my hard drive. Numbers go 1-200 as they should. However when I get into iphoto (set to sort by title), iphoto decides to go 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200, 3, 30, etc. Its very annoying since they are no longer in the right order. 1 should be next to 2, not 10. Computers have been ordering things in number order for ages, why is iPhoto so confused?
Are there different settings that will import things properly. I know if I was using albums, I could make sure the album is set to sort "manually" prior to importing. Then they will be in their original order. I can't do that when just importing into iphoto/events as far as I know.
Any suggestions?

iPhoto sorts jsut fine - soem human had mis-names the photos
"space" "space" 1 does not sort Alpha-Numerically to the same place a 001 - nor does 1 sort the same as 001
An Alpha Numeric sort considers both Alphabetic and Numeric characters and therefore if you want the sort to match your expectiations then you need to be sure the characters you are sorting on are correct - the conmputer can not read yoru mind and see that you do not really want an alpha-numeric sort after all

The entries in "Notes" are shown sorted by date of creation. Can they be sorted alpha/numerically?

I would like to be able to sort the entries in "Notes" alpha numerically. By default these entries are sorted based on the date of creation of the entry.

As I said, it works perfectly well for me. Try putting the sidebar into Contact Sheet mode and see if the dates are sorted correctly. Here's an example from my machine:
As you can see, if you have good eyes, all are arranged in date order, regardless of day, month or year.
Just two things occur to me about your problem. I see that your date format differs significantly from mine. Try changing it in System Preferences->Language & Text->Formats and see if that has an effect. There may be a bug in regard to how Preview handles the various date formats. You might also try logging into your test account and see if Preview behaves correctly there, with everything in the default state. If you don't have a test account, create one. Leave everything in the default state and keep it around for future tests--it doesn't take much space and is very handy to have around.

Sorting of alpha numeric characters in a column`

Hi All,
I have a column which has alpha numeric characters like 1A, 12B, 14D, 12CC ...etc.
I need to sort this column in ascending as well as descending. The normal "sort by" does not work and the ASCII function return on the ascii value of the 1st character in the cell.
Can you please help me out?

Needed more sample data..
For provided data, ie if Number comes only at the beginning, you can ..
SQL> select c1
2 from t
3 order by to_number(translate(c1,translate(c1,'a0123456789','a'),' ')),c1;
C1
1A
12B
12CC
14D

Hi.
It's nice to have "sorting array" icon.
But I have problem with programming similar option. I want to sort my sine samples taken in more periods to just one period.
Beside defining that mycurrent sample should be less than next one, and greater from previous one in one case, I should take in consider that derivation could be positive or negative. While negative derivation, next sample should be less then current and so one.
Can someone help me with programming?
I've extracted the first period, and then I have to go trough each sample and compare him. When logic is well,I get the index and putinsert elemt in array.
I think that I'm having problem with while loops. I don't know where to put them.
I'm attaching VI. beacuse I'm working on Labview 9.0, I'm attaching also a pic.
Thanks in advance.

Alpha Numeric - GL account numbering

Hi
Our client is going for alpha numeric GL accounts. FS00 will allow creating alpha numeric GL accounts. But i wanted to what may be problem in future?
I want to know will any account determination settings like OBYC (FI - MM Settings), VKOA (FI - SD settings), AO90 - Asset accounting GL determination or any other FI process will give problem at the time of configurations or in future?.
Please help me on this. What can be the points on the basis of which i can tell client that they should go for NUMERIC GL accounts only and not Alpha Numeric.

No other feedback ?
Avoid using alpha characters – they will create problems in sequencing
and sorting data in reports, assigning codes, using ranges, and when
creating validation and/or security rules”
What does security rules in this context ?

Unable to replicate both Numeric and alpha numeric vendors records from R3

Dear all,
In our ECC 5 environment, we have some vendors who master record numbers that are numeric internally assigned i.e 7000000 or 23000000 and some alphanumeric externally assigned i.e SmallBusiness1 or Grinad10. This is posible as you may know via vendor account groups.
We have implemented a classic scenario in SRM 4, Server 5 environment, therefore we need to replicate ECC backend vendors masters. We initally set SAP's AB business Partner (vendors) number range in SRM to A - zzzzzzzz and created numeric number ranges to match thoes set up for all our vendors in ECC.
When we ran BBPGETVD only the alpha numeric vendors records replicated down to SRM. The numeric were ingnored. The BBPGETVD t-code was reporting that the other vendors had incorrect data.
We then chnaged the AB Business Partner (vendor)number range to 000000001 - 999999999 and ran BBPGETVD. Only then did the numeric vendors get replicated down to SRM. But the issue is now, I cannot replicate the alpha numeric with out chaanging the number range back to A - zzzzzzzzz.
Question,
How can I set the Business Partner(Vendor) number range in SRM to anable the replication of both Numeric and Alpha numeric assigned vendor records down to SRM.
Thanks,
Grace

Christophe,
PLEASE HELP I HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE NOW!!!
On the subject of setting back the internal BP number range, does SRM expect it to be set for example to:
01 0000000001 - 0000999999?
Should the grouping for this internal number range be also ways set to 0001. Iam refernceing the settings in our sandbox client, they seam to be set up that way.
If its set to say 0003, will this cause a problem?
Because we have set all our BP ranges to external, any ORG unit, USER or position that we created after we "removed" the internal number range does appear to be working.
I have noticed this. when I login as a new user and try to create a shopping cart, tthe product category drop down does not work on the "new user".
If I go in the BP transaction and search for this new user or new unit org units that where created after the removal of the internal number range nothing is found!. The last internal BP number is 105.
Question.
If I set the internal number range back to
01 0000000001 - 0000099999 and set the current number to 106, then delete and recreate the org units, do you think this will work?
Please help I need to get this issue sorted out because as you said no new org unit/user can be setup.
Thanks Again.

Why are alpha/numeric keys inoperative on aluminum apple wireless keyboard

This is a follow on to previous topic that i answered.
I was able to get my wireless keyboard partially operational.
It is paired and only partially functionall
• Alpha numeric keys do not work
• Delete Key (backward) and fn-Delete (forward) work
• Arrow keys work
• Function keys and
• Mouse keys are working 8 (up), k (down), u (left), o (right), 7 (up diagonal left), l (down diagonal right), j (down diagonal left, 9 (up diagonal right). i is the mouse click.
i am leaving this up for the benefit of other Wireless Keyboard users.
THE APPARENT PROBLEM IS IN THE UNIVERSAL ACCESS PREFERENCES.
I just hit Opt key five times and now the Wireless Keyboard is working very well. The mouse keys are now normal keys for Alpha Numerics. Note i am typing 8, k, u, o, 7, l, j, 9, i. . Now do Opt five times.
(typed on my USB keyboard) There is a alarm sound when the change over occurs. Now the Alpha Numerics are inoperative and the mouse keys work. Remember that the wireless keyboard does not have a number pad. Therefore; when mouse keys are activated the above alphanumeric keys take the place of number pad 8, 2. 4. 6, 7, 3, 1, 9, and 5.
Now back to the wireless keyboard. From top to bottom, left to right lower case keys:
zxcvbnm,./ asdfghjkl;', qwertyuiop[]\ `1234567890-=
From top to bottom, left to UPPER CASE keys:
ZXCVBNM,./ ASDFGHJKL:" QWERTYUIOP{}| ~!@#$%^&*()_+
So i answered my question and leave it for your benefit. One other comment:
When i first set up the keyboard and spent half a day yesterday thinking i was getting nowhere because the green ON light was out. Chalk that up to what i consider poor documentation which didn't describe normal operating conditions.
It isn't supposed to light except during initial setup when it flashes. The caps lock key lights when it is pressed SO THAT IS A GOOD INDICATION THE KEYBOARD IS ACTIVE.
Regards: The General

General, you are a genius. This happened to me just last week. I racked my brain trying to figure it out. Apple Care had no idea and recommended I exchange my keyboard for a new one, which I did. The problem still persisted. I tried deleting my bluetooth plist and using a USB keyboard which resulted in disaster when I used the number pad and suddenly my mouse no longer worked.
I scoured the literature looking for some sort of key-lock function and found zip. Apple Care told me to take in the entire CPU. Unsatisfied with that, I researched further and found your thread. I told Apple Care they need to tell Apple to make a note of this in their literature!
Thanks again!

Alpha numeric no. range for PERNR (Employee no.)

HI,
Any option for adding alpha numeric no. range for PERNR (Employee no.)
RX

Better you can use Numeric only....
see the sap help
External intervals can only contain either letters or numbers, as sorting can differ between platforms (Code page):
Allowed: 000001 to 999999
AAAAAA to ZZZZZZ
Not allowed: AAAAAA to 999999

BEx report hangs- selecting Alpha numeric values

customer is the selection parameter for my report.
Issue is Customer has numerical and alpha numerical values.
If i give parameter rangs of value is numerical
01 - 500 query works fine
01-50cust1
50 cust1 - 195 cust2
query hangs.
Is their any way we can improve the query performance .
for searching alphanumerica values.
I have a workbook is built based on the query.
morethan 6 queries attached in the sheet 1....sheet2
each sheet has it is own query with values.
when I refresh and execute the workbook with the customer alphanumerica values it hangs.
Query is built based on the multiprovider.
Please help me onthis

Hello,
Try exporting in the 'fully formated grids and text'. It shouldl give you the 'member alias' used in the report.
Looks like if you export in the 'querry ready grids and text' it will show the 'member name' as in database although the report may have used the 'member alias'.

TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

How to make the Internal numbering as Alpha-Numeric

Hi,
In the Document Info Record, the Internal numbering is always numeric.
How to make it Alpha-Numeric?
Regards,
Shashi

Dear Shashidhar,
Number assignment is derived from Document Type of the DIR. You can customise the Document type settings (DC10) to make the number range as External or Mixed.
Modify the settings in "Number Assgmt" tab as 2 for only external number assignement and 3 for mixed number assignment.
Hope this solves your question.
