Change sort order search results?

When I search in Mountain Lion I get a list of results, for instance documents that contain the word "serial"
see the attached screenshot.
The searchresults are ordered by name.
Only problem is the last result (starting with a Z) comes first.
I want the results starting with an A to show first.
In Lion you could reverse the sort order by clicking in the top bar (which says "Name" or "Naam" in my screenshot) but here that does not work.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Change the item arrangement to 'None'
And then you'll be able to reverse the sort order

  • Sorting Ultra Search results

    I am in the process of researching Ultra Search and I am planning on building search functionality using the Ultra Search tag library. Part of the requirement of this search is that the search results need to be sorted alphabetically on a particular attribute. Is this possible with Ultra Search? If so, how can it be done? Or are the results always returned sorted based on the relevance score?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Change sort order on WF_NOTIFICATION(HISTORY) procedure - 11.5.10 Apps

    Is it possible to change the sort order of the lines in the Action History section that shows up on e-mail notifications?
    We are using Blanket Sales Agreements in Apps 11.5.10 CU1, including the delivered workflow approval notifications. My users are happy with the notifications except that they want the approval history table sorted in reverse so that the most recent action is at the top of the list.
    I have looked at the WF_NOTIFICATION procedure, but it's not just jumping out at me where to make this change, if possible. I'm also assuming that if I change this procedure that it will change for all notifications (PO, AP, etc.). Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
    Rhonda

    Hi,
    It is possible to change sort order on WF_NOTIFICATION(HISTORY).
    You can add an atribute to your WF Notifications (Messages) and add an "if" into WF_NOTIFICATION procedure to apply your sort routine just to that kind of notifications.
    Best regards,
    Luiz

  • Changing sorting order

    I am trying to change the sorting order from the default setting when executing a query on a datablock. I try to sort by name dynamically by using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('block',ORDER_BY,name_sort(:block.id)); . There is no name in the datablock, but I can get the name from the name_sort function by passing :block.id. I built the name_sort function and put it in the program units. I put the SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('SFRSTCR',ORDER_BY,name_sort(:sfrstcr.sfrstcr_pidm)); in the pre-query trigger, but it didn't work. I got the error as shown:
    frm-40735 pre-query trigger raised unhandled exception Ora 01403
    I am not sure where I should put it. I searched for documentation on where to put it, but didn't find one. Also, I am not sure if this is a right approach to fix the problem.

    ORA-01403 is the error code of No Data Found predefined exception.
    your procedure/function name_sort is raising no_data_found exception error, try to handle that error in the exception section and try again.

  • 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

  • Sorting people search results

    Hi
    We tried to sort the PeopleSearch Results by LastName and then by FirstName using the Query Designer.
    In the preview everything works fine, buth when we save the web part settings and do a seearch on the people results page, the results are not sorted as excpected.
    Query Sorting, (sorting as expected in preview)
    People results page using the settings above:
    Not properly sorted
    Does anybody have an idea?
    Thanks,
    Stephan

    Wow! I was able to reproduce your problem. There seems to be no way to get the sorting to work correctly in the search results. I have been able to sort the results correctly using either a) Content by Search part or b) an App issuing a query through
    the API.
    I think you are going to have to replace the OOB people search page with a custom solution based on either the Content by Search part or an app.
    I have an Employee Directory app available on my CodePlex project here.

  • Somehow the settings changed so the search results page has text so small that I can't read it

    when I launch firefox the initial page is find. I type in a search phrase, and the search results page comes up with print so small I can't read it. I can't find any way of changing the "view" of the results pages.

  • Changing Sort order in iTunes

    I need to change the sort order in iTunes, pretty much like clicking on the browser header until the sort is "album by artist". Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    Took me a long time to get past the inconsistencies that Accessibility Inspector was revealing in iTunes. I finally ran a verify in Accessibility Verifier and discovered some inaccurate reporting in the Inspector. This works. Figured I would share it.
    If things are changed to "Album", it will not do more than re-sort that column. It will not change the Album by... setting. I hope I can figure that out.
    -- This will ensure that the artist column is sorted in ascending order
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iTunes"
    --read sort of grouping column
    set groupSort to (get value of attribute "AXSortDirection" of button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1)
    -- click button to select artist column if necessary
    if (groupSort = "AXUnknownSortDirection") then
    click button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
    end if
    -- set to ascending if necessary
    if (groupSort = "AXDescendingSortDirection") then
    click button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
    end if
    end tell
    end tell

  • Changing Sort Order in Smart Album when Looking for Roll Name=Corruption

    We've confirmed via testing and from new posters that changing the sort order in a Smart Album who's criteria is to look for a roll name will cause iPhoto to crash and then crash upon launch after that.
    So to avoid corrupting your library do not change the sort order of a Smart Album designed to locate rolls.
    The thread discussing this is:
    IPhoto keeps on crashing, cannot use it
    Rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager recovered the library. However, I don't know if a rebuild via the Control+Option key will do the same.
    G5 Dual Core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 22 Display, 250G HD, 200G FW HD, QT 7.0.4P   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, 2G Nano

    Ha! I upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.3 and opened the dummy library I had created. (This was the library where the crash on launch kept happening because I had a smart folder looking for rolls and sorted by title or something else other than the default.)
    Guess what, it opened just fine! 6.0.3 fixes the crash. Not sure how much it helps people who started new libraries, but at least others won't run into this.

  • How to change sort order for Notes in iOS?

    When using Notes in OS 10.10, I can change the sort order. However, I cannot see how to change the sort order for Notes in iOS8 on my iPhone. I sync using iCloud, but the iPhone does not pick up the sort order (alpha) that I have chosen on my MBP.
    Is it possible to change the sort order on phones?
    Thanks.

  • Change sort order of Podcasts on iPod?

    In iTunes, my podcasts are sorted in ascending order according by the Release Date field. I've also made sure that the different parts of a certain podcast episode has proper Track Numbers.
    However, on my 5.5G iPod, the podcasts are sorted in a descending order (newest first) which plays everything backwards (i.e. a podcast with 4 parts play's part 4 first).
    How can I change the sort order of my podcasts on my iPod?
    I've noticed that even if all my podcasts have been given Track Numbers (usually 1-4 per episode), when they play on my iPod, it says "1 of 1" instead of "1 of 4" etc. Why is that?
    Also, the most annoying thing is that after a podcast has played, I'm thrown out back to the main Podcast Menu. I then have to go back into Podcasts, choose the Podcast folder and then choose the next podcast to listen to. Very weird behavior.
    My iPod is set to automatically sync with iTunes, so I can't change anything in iPod playlists in iTunes

    i discovered this completely by accident.
    connect your iPod to your computer.
    click the podcast bit of your iPod on the left hand side. (so it brings up which podcasts you have on your iPod)
    you can then click 'release date' to change the order from either newest or oldest first.
    unfortunately you can only do this for your entire podcast collection. i subscribe to some audiobook podcasts, and for some reason the episodes seem to have been released with the earlier episodes on later dates, meaning listening to the sequentially would mean listening to them backwards, but otherwise this works perfectly.
    hope that helps.

  • Changing sort order in Finder to display folder first

    In almost every other release of OS X there was a tweak to edit the frameworks so that you could have finder, when sorting by "Kind/Type"you could display folders first. Well of course they broke that in Leopard.
    Has anyone discovered a way to reinstate this nice little feature so that folders don't appear at the bottom of the list view but at the TOP like PathFinder?
    For those that are curious here WAS the "tweak" (go to System: Library: Frameworks: ApplicationServices.framework: Versions: A: Frameworks: LaunchServices.framework: Versions: A: Resources. Whew. Within that folder, you’ll see the English.lproj folder. Highlight it, and then select File: Get Info. In the Ownership & Permissions area, click on the Details triangle, click on the lock icon, and then click on the Owner pop-up menu and set it to your user name (enter your password if asked). Leave this window open; you’ll be changing it back in just a minute.
    Inside the English.lproj folder is a file named Localized.strings. Drag it onto TextEdit. Find the line that reads "Folder" = "Folder"; and insert a space before the F in the second Folder.)
    TIA,
    Peter

    Hi VFRJOEY,
    there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.

  • Finder - changing sort order in column view

    Anyone know a way to change the sort order when using the COLUMN view in Finder? It's defaulting to alpha and I'd like to change it so when I'm viewing a particular folder the contents are displayed by Date Modified like I can when using the other views.
