AQ Sort Order (priority,enq_time)

HI
I am trying to subscribe to a topic with Sort Order (priority,enq_time) using oracle.jms API.Payload type is an ADT generated from jpublisher.Though the same worked with Oracle.AQ API.After publishing i am updating the priority.But the subscribing application is always taking enq_time when actually it should be taking priority as first criteria.
I am printing table property that to shows the correct sort order:
owner : aqadm
name : queue_message_table
AQQueueTableProperty]
payload_type : AQADM.QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU
storage_clause : null
sort_order : PRIORITY, ENQUEUE_TIME
multi_consumer : true
message grouping : NONE
comment : null
compatible : 8.1.3
auto_commit : true
primary inst : 0
Secondary inst : 0
Non Repudiation : 0
Secure : false
Sample code:
===========
// Get topic object
               Topic topic = ((AQjmsSession) aq.session).getTopic(
DB_AQ_ADMIN_NAME, // Queue owner
"message_queue"); // Queue name
               // Create topic receiver
               TopicReceiver subscriber = ((AQjmsSession) aq.session).createTopicReceiver
topic, // Used topic
                    "SUBSCRIPTION" + _subscriptionId,          // Name and identification of the subscription
null,// No message selector
                    QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU.getFactory()//CustomDatumFactory for the java class that maps to the Oracle ADT
               // Receive message
               System.out.println("Waiting 60 seconds to receive message for subscription SUBSCRIPTION" + _subscriptionId + " ...");
               AQjmsAdtMessage adtMessage = (AQjmsAdtMessage) subscriber.receive(60000);
               if(adtMessage != null)
QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU messageData = (QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU) adtMessage.getAdtPayload();
                         System.out.println("receive() successfully");
                         // Print message
                         System.out.println("ProductId : " + messageData.getProductId());
                         System.out.println("StoreId : " + messageData.getStoreId());
                         System.out.println("ProductName: " + messageData.getProductName());
                         System.out.println("country : " + messageData.getCountry());
******QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU is JPublisher generated class from an oracle object type

Hello,
It's been quit a while since we mailed and I promised to get back on you.
I've been testing and I'm lost. It looks likes the messages are at random dequeued.
A user have enqueued different messages.
The enqueue code is :
-- Add new request to queue.
message_properties.delay := pkg_delay_time;
message_properties.priority := p_priority;
message_properties.expiration := pkg_expire_time;
message := proj_batch_queue_ot( p_projectid
, p_versionno , p_action
, p_job_type
dbms_aq.enqueue( queue_name => pkg_schema||'.'||g_queue_name
, enqueue_options => enqueue_options
, message_properties => message_properties
, payload => message
, msgid => message_handle
It is an autonomous_transaction and is commited immediatly.
The dequeue code is:
declare
dequeue_options dbms_aq.dequeue_options_t;
message_handle raw(16);
begin
dequeue_options.navigation := dbms_aq.first_message;
dequeue_options.dequeue_mode := dbms_aq.browse;
dequeue_options.wait := dbms_aq.no_wait;
dbms_aq.dequeue (queue_name => pkg_schema||'.'||g_queue_name,
dequeue_options => dequeue_options,
message_properties => message_properties,
payload => message,
msgid => message_handle
The sort_order is priority, enq_time and still the messages are dequeued at random.
I hope you can help me.
I would be most grateful.
Regards

Sort Order Priority

Is it possible to change the priority of columns when sorting?
When I sort by 'Album Artist' it seems to use: Album Artist, Artist, Album, Track #
This messes up my 'various artists' albums. It especially looks horrible in artwork and coverflow view. I'd like to make it ignore the 'Artist' field. (Album Artist, Album, Track #)
Is this possible?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I did already did that.
Example: Ministry of Sound's Karma Collection 2003.
Album Artist is set to 'Ministry of Sound' and compilation is set to yes.
But disc 1 is right before Johnny Cash (because track 1 is by Jakatta) and disc 2 shows up right before Pink Floyd (because track 1 is by Panjabi MC).

AQ Sort Order

HI
I am trying to subscribe to a topic with Sort Order (priority,enq_time) using oracle.jms API.Payload type is an ADT generated from jpublisher.Though the same worked with Oracle.AQ API.
1)After publishing i am updating the priority through sql using payload data.But the subscribing application is always taking enq_time when actually it should be taking priority as first criteria.It is still taking default priority as 1 for all so sorting by enqueue time i feel.
2)If on the other hand i set different priorities while publishing throgh client itself,subscibing application is picking up correctly .i.e priority first the enq_time.
Sample code:
===========
// Get topic object
Topic topic = ((AQjmsSession) aq.session).getTopic(
DB_AQ_ADMIN_NAME, // Queue owner
"message_queue"); // Queue name
// Create topic receiver
TopicReceiver subscriber = ((AQjmsSession) aq.session).createTopicReceiver
topic, // Used topic
"SUBSCRIPTION" + _subscriptionId, // Name and identification of the subscription
null,// No message selector
QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU.getFactory()//CustomDatumFactory for the java class that maps to the Oracle ADT
// Receive message
System.out.println("Waiting 60 seconds to receive message for subscription SUBSCRIPTION" + _subscriptionId + " ...");
AQjmsAdtMessage adtMessage = (AQjmsAdtMessage) subscriber.receive(60000);
if(adtMessage != null)
QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU messageData = (QUEUE_MESSAGE_CAFU) adtMessage.getAdtPayload();
System.out.println("receive() successfully");
// Print message
System.out.println("ProductId : " + messageData.getProductId());
System.out.println("StoreId : " + messageData.getStoreId());
System.out.println("ProductName: " + messageData.getProductName());
System.out.println("country : " + messageData.getCountry());

Answers from Oracle for anyone interested:
1. Is there any way to determine the enqueue order of a set of messages?
Enqtime is only to the second.
(**) Yes the enqueue order is enqtime + step_no. So if you concat it appropriately you will get the right >order.
2. If using a queuebrowser starting at a message ID, will messages appear in
actual order even if msgids are not in order?
(**) The message will appear in the enqueue time order.
3. Is there any way, preferably a sql query, to determine the messageID of
the last message enqueued to an AQ?
You could write a query which would compute the max(enqueue_time + step_no) say something like:
select msgid from queue_table where expr(enqtime, stepno) = (select max(expr(enqtime, stepno)) from >queue_table); This is true but Oracle forgot to say that the order is guaranted only if the messages are enqueued in the same session!! if the messages are enqueued by different sessions the result is unpredictable (the enqueue time is OK but the step_no is completly wrong, that is we can have different message at the same time with the same step_no)

How to Control Sort Order of Playlists in iTunes?

As far as I can tell, somewhere along the way iTunes stopped sorting playlists alphabetically, numbers before letters, and started sorting playlists alphabetically, letters before numbers. Or at least that's how it now happens on my iPhone; I think the change happened with the iPhone 3.0 OS update.
Has anyone found a better way to set a sort order than by putting "AA" and "AAA" in front of the playlists they want to have at the top of the list? Because that's an awfully inelegant solution -- to my mind, if you have to use a prefix at all, using 01, 02 et cetera was a far better way of doing things. Is there a setting I can tick to go back to the old way? Or, better still, a way to set that sort order arbitrarily, independent of the playlists' names?
Message was edited by: Andrew Willett

If you label your favorite/priority playlists as A1, A2, A3...B1, B2, B3
Then they will sort the way you want (except on the iPod Classic which seems to have it's own sorting).

SAP Rescheduling (V_V2) Sort order

Hello experts!
have a question on rescheduling sort order:
1) Date -> Sort item by date of creation - Does SAP will consider only date? Or time also considered?
2) Document number - Does SAP takes real document number? What will happen if my sales orders have different number ranges in the same plant? (ex. Range one starts from 46......01; Range two starts from 45.....01) Does that mean that my 46.....01 will be prioritized first?
Thank you for your answers!

1) Date -> Sort item by date of creation - Does SAP will consider only date? Or time also considered?
Only the date is considered. The sort is executed here:
SDV03V02 FORM XTAB_SORT
IF p_schlv = 'X'.
When on schedule line level use additional sort-criterias.
SORT xtab BY (LV_SORT1) (LV_SORT2) (LV_SORT3)
               (LV_SORT4) (LV_SORT5) eindt etenr.
ELSEIF p_itemlv = 'X'.
SORT xtab BY (LV_SORT1) (LV_SORT2) (LV_SORT3)
               (LV_SORT4) (LV_SORT5).
ENDIF.
As you can see, the system is sorted according to 5 fields - these are the 5 fields you see in the selection screen. And as the created time is not one of the fields, it will not be considered.
However, normally, the earlier created sales order will be a lower number than the later created sales order so it should then be sorted accorded to that number consider the following example that I just tested with:
- Stock is 0
- Sales Order 896 is created with creation date = 25.02.2014 & creation time 11:09:15. Confirmed quantity is 0
- GM posted. Now stock is 100.
- Sales Order 897 is created with creation date = 25.02.2014 & creation time 11:10:04. Confirmed quantity is 100.
I execute V_V2 with the following sort:
Document category               3
Delivery priority                      2
Date                                       1
Document number                 4
Document item                      5
So in this case, LV_SORT1 = "ERDAT". Both of the above orders have the same ERDAT (Creation Date in VBAK). LV_SORT2 = "LPRIO", LV_SORT3 = "SORT_DOCTYPE". All these values are the same for both orders. Then, LV_SORT4 - "VBELN". Here, the 2 orders differ and 896 is placed at the top of the sort table instead of 897.
SAP Note 1897242 describes a BADI where you can apply your own sort logic. This could be helpful for you.

Album sort order PSE11 - is it by design ?

When experimenting with the sort order of albums in PSE11, I was surprised to see that in some albums, changing the sort order from 'oldest' to 'newest' did not produce any effect.
The reason of this probably lies in the menu /preferences/general :
If you have only pictures taken the same day, the above setting will still show 'oldest first' even you choose 'newest first' for album order.
I believe that the most used order is 'album order' and that the 'newest first' is very rare.
I can understand the option to browse 'oldest first within each day' when in 'newest first' in thumbnail view.
However, I wonder if that option makes sense to sort an album ?
Was it by design ?
If it were me...
I would not use that preference for an album,
and...
I would add the option to sort by filename and caption.

Figured it out. I added "Various Artists" in the Album Artist field for every track and it then sorted them all together.

How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230. Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox--- In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine, but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even when I close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order. This is driving my crazy because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

Any way to Restore Last Manual Sort Order or Prevent from being Overwritten accidentally?

     Help!
     I'm constantly accidentally overwriting painstakingly created manual sort ordering (sometimes hours but more often months of accumulated work) in folders with files numbering up to 1,000, when i, however breifly, switch to another sort ordering (size, date modified etc) to check something, immediately forget that i'm in another sort order, and, unthinkingly (actually i guess i'm thinking of a lot of other things) drag a file to another position, this immediately destroys any past manual sorting i've established, overwriting it with this new inadvertent manual ordering.
     I've tried CommandZ (edit undo) but that only undoes my last rating or labeling, i've rushed to force quit Bridge through the activity montior hoping i will catch it before its overwritten, but obviously i am not as fast as a computer, and i don't think this has ever worked.
Is there any way or any script someone has written to formally save a manual sort order? Is there anything i've missed to attempt restoring it? Has anyone, repeatedly foiled by this, written something that would give a warning and require confirmation say for instance, if i tried to drag or move a file while in another sort ordering (this seems like something that should have existed the minute the opportunity was given to create manual organization). Would anyone be willing to?
     Seriously, me forgetting almost every time isn't going to change and, more vexingly, it's even happened when i didn't mean to move anything but fumbled momentarily while in another sort order. I think most people might forget because (in the context of computing) we are conditioned to expect a warning if something we have just created is about to be written over or discarded, and since there is no option to formally save a manual ordering we have just created.
     Also, if this was in the real world, moving a single file would not reshuffle everything on your desk. If i had the option to formally save a manual organization i would NOT forget to do this and would use it, as i've wished for one every time spent a while rearranging files. Knowing how easily all the hours (much less months and years of cumulative work) of organizational work can be accidentally lost makes working within Bridge unpleasantly anxious.
      I'm literally willing to do anything including installing some sketchy 3rd-part scripts (though honestly i have no idea what that means or how to do it). I extentively use and rely heavily upon this function so this is a fairly serious Achille's heel. It's like watching your incredibly important meticulously constructed house of cards collapse with a careless but innocent sigh, or like having the equivelent of a not even charming cat dance across your keyboard during a live concert, etc etc....
     Also it is not usually appropriate, given the context, to batch rename everything to preserve a manual ordering w sequence numbers, etc. Often the filenames are considerably (but necessarily, to connote important differences) long already, and when i have to rearrange things in the future would have to do that each time, etc, etc, making for even more unwieldly filenames that didn't have any substantive information at the beginning. I'm looking for a way to make this function (manual sort ordering), well, more functional, secure and stable, the workarounds i've considered cause too many additonal problems.
     Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer, and as this is my first attempt to use the forums as i live on a boat with no regular net access, would appreciate any forum etiquette corrections, and advance apologies for any misspellings, dyslexic and spellcheck does not seem to work in this interface. next time will edit in external wordprocessing program beforehand,

     PPS I know most of y'all might be running the newest and the latest of everything, but, i'm fairly certain this is still a problem in recent versions as this has happened to me at school where all the macs are running cs5. Though if it's been addressed somehow in cs6 would update entire suite just to fix this one problem in Bridge. I've tried many searches and found nothing relevant or wouldn't bother the considerable expertise and resources of an official forum, was extremely hesitant to ask (feared getting snapped at for unwittingly broaching forum etiquette) but it is truly the bane of my considerable Bridge existence, so was willing to risk the imaginary censure and opprobrium....

That is a good question, to do this requires two functions and a restart of Bridge all done automagically
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge
PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.
To use:
Tools - Backup Manual Sort
This will backup the hidden manual sort file .BridgeSort to .BridgeSortSave
Tools - Restore Manual Sort
This will copy the .BridgeSortSave back to .BridgeSort and will close and restart Bridge so that the manual sort is restored.
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
var backUpManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Backup Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "backupms" );
var RestoreManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Restore Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "restorems" );
backUpManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(fileSave.exists) fileSave.remove();
fileSort.copy(fileSave);
fileSave.hidden=true;
RestoreManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(!fileSave.exists){
alert("No backup file exists");
return;
app.document.sorts = [{ type:"string",name:"document-kind", reverse:false }];
if(fileSort.exists) fileSort.remove();
fileSave.copy(fileSort);
fileSort.hidden=true;
app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
app.documents[0].close();
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
Hope this works for you.

Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

Hello,
When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem["Title"] = title;
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(myList);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
The code in the webpart is this:
SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
{"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
{"Title", txtTitle.Text}
SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
ds.Item["Title"] = title
ds.Item.Update();
why is the sort order wrong?
if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
i don't get it....

Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:
Uploading documents using object model - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms454491(v=office.14).aspx
Uploading documents using web services -
http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html
If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:
<Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>

List of found events changes sort order when pasted from clipboard

when I find a set of events in iCal, the list appears in the window at the bottom of the page in the correct sort order when sorted by date, title or type. When I then copy that list to the clipboard and paste it into another program (Pages, MacJournal, TextEdit) the sort order changes.
I work mostly in English, but my macbookpro keyboard is German, so I assume the problem is with the language settings. I've tried changing the system preferences for language and sort order, and that changes the sort order, but it doesn't get it right.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

BPC 7.5NW: Hierarchy Upload from BW - Sort Order

Hi,
we are currently updating from BPC 7.0NW to 7.5 NW SP10. (BW has been upgraded to 7.02 SP09)
As master data and hierarchies had been uploaded using the coding from 'HowTo Upload automated...' so far, we now have to use standard Data Manger packages.
Maintaining packages and package links was successful. Everything works fine so far.
The only problem are Hierarchies, better the sort order of hierarchie nodes. At the moment they are always sorted in an alphabetical order.
We introduced property MBR_SEQ to all dimension using program UJA_MIGRATE_MBR_SEQ.
We loaded hierarchies with different settings.
Searching SDN and SAP Notes lead to notes 1603352 or 1581331.
But manually changing hierarchies each time, new members are assigned, is not an option!
Do I miss any option in the selection screen of the Data Manager package?
Are there any options in transformation or conversion file?
Thanks and regards
Steve

For your Information...
We were now adviced to include parameter DM_KEEP_SRC_SEQ with value Y in AppSet parameters (Web-Administration).
Please have a look at note '1626929 - Keep hierarchy sequence for Load Hierarchy from BW package'.
It works!
For the first hierarchy to be uploaded...
If there are more than one hierarchy defined for upload, only the first hierarchy is sorted correctly, all following ones are sorted alphabetically again.
Regards
Steve

Hierarchy table sort order no longer required in 11.1.1.3?

Hi guys,
I am working on loading Dimensions through EPMA interface tables. Hyperion version 11.1.1.3. The sort order for the records was not in line with the hierarchy. Still the dimension got loaded without any errors. I remember in the older versions we would have to have the records in the hierarchy table in the right order for the metadata to get loaded properly.
Just wanted to confirm if this is a 11.1.13 version enhancement and not something that I am missing.
Thanks.

Hi Luc,
I have checked our bug DB, but couldn't find any bug that would explain a change in behavior of processDatabaseChangeNotification() in 11.1.1.3
On the contrary, we have been working on issues related to NPE during its execution recently (fix will be included in JDev 11.1.1.4.0).
Could you create a Service Request in "My Oracle Support" and upload your sample ?
We will have a look.
Regards,
Didier.

IPhone no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes

iPhone 4 no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes after iOS5 upgrade. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is very frustrating. That was one functionality that worked very well. Not only is the sort within the playlist bad but the sorting of the playlists themselves is bad. I used to use an undetscore "-" to sort some of my folders to the top of the play list of the most played playlists and that does not work either. It ignores the underscore and just sorts on the alpha character. Hope this gets fixed.

N9 Photo Gallery sort order - based on what?

Hello,
I am thrilled with my N9, but have one problem: I want to use the phone to keep not only photos made with it. I therefore saved extra photos in the Pictures folder. They appear in the gallery, but in a weird order, not based on either the name, EXIF date, modification date or creation date. Is there a possibility to sort them on either of these? All I want is to control the sort order. After all, it is MY gallery...
On my previous phone (N8) sorting was based on the last modification date. Also not optimal (EXIF date would have been perfect) but still controllable.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, maybe those pictures were never edited outside the phone, I don't know.
Anyway, I believe I found the explanation: I exported the photos from Picasa, maxing them to a resolution of 1600xXXX. This way all files were created... today. Nevertheless the EXIF information is correctly saved by Picasa, so Date Image Taken was preserved. Although I modified in all files the creation date to be equal to EXIF Date Image Taken (ACDSee/batch/AdjustTimeStamp) , and then also renamed all pictures based on that, the "new" creation date still remains saved somewhere in the picture files and the Gallery sorts the pictures on it! The pictures were sorted in the reversed order I exported them from Picasa... Bad.
Anyway, since this is not a request forum, it would be futile to say (again) that Nokia should use the EXIF Date Picture Taken for picture sorting. So I don't say it (!).

SORT ORDER WITHIN GROUPS

Post Author: Kara
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I am using version 9. I have designed a report based on an access control database. It shows a person's time in and time out, then totals these hours. My report is grouped as follows:
Department
Date/Time
Unique ID
The main data of the report is shown in group footer 3 (Unique ID) and is displayed in numerical order. I need to change the sort order to display by last name, first name but because I have grouped by unique ID I can't seem to be able to do it!
Any help gratefully received,
Kara

I use a similar report to track service personnel who also have a unique ID. I have mine set up as follows - maybe this'll help.
I used selection expert to specify the dates I want to see.
Group 1 sorts on the unique ID. Instead of printing the unique ID field in the group header, I have Employee.EmpName. They'll come out in their unique ID sort so the names might be a little out of order. If that's a problem you could put sort option on that field.
Group 2 sorts by the Job ID, with the group header suppressed.
Detail line has location, job id, date, time on, time off, total time in hours and if it's completed.
Group 2 summarizes at date and amount at the job ID level.
Group 1 summarizes at technician.
I get very accurate reports to match against their hand written time cards.
