Column order in the template

I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to use a single template with a lot of parameters for all reports, my question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thank you!

Sorry, the code was messed up in previous post:
Template:
<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td align="center"class="instructiontext">
#MGR_NAME#
 
#WORK_ROLE# 
Directs: #DIRECTS# Total: #REPORTS#</td></tr>

How to change the column order in the DB?

Hi all,
For example,
     there is an employee database with the field names empno(1),empname(2), empphone(3), empaddress(4), empsal(5). the values in the brackets are the column order i.e., the order in which the column names are placed.
     I have the details of the employee records in a .txt file and i have to upload the file with the same column order with some delimiter. I done it but in future if any one have the details of the employee details with some other column order i.e., empaddress(1), empsal(5), empno(3), empname(4), empphone(5)
     how i can change the column order of the database ...
Thanx in advance...
Bye,

how i can change the column order of the databaseYou don't. You specify the column order in you're insert.
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement ("insert into EMP (EMPNO, ENAME) values (?, ?)");
pstmt.setInt (1, 1500);
pstmt.setString (2, "A Name");
pstmt.execute ();

Can the default column order in the response tab be set during form design?

I know the response columns can be rearranged in the report but can the order be "pre-ordained" as part of form design?

Hi,
Sorry I am not aware of your form NOT created in FormsCentral.
FormsCentral doesn't support to rearrange the column order in Form Design tab, if it is an imported PDF form. The column order in PDF form depends on the order of the field in the PDF structure. You can post a feature request from http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral?view=idea
Thanks,

In Adobe Forms Central can I move the column order in the response table?

I need to change the order of the columns in my response table for some forms. How can I do that?

You're in the wrong forum, this one is for LiveCycle Designer.

Column order in the index and its effects

Lets say i've an index called ind_tab3 which is made up of two columns in the following order (col1,col2). If query comes against the table with WHERE clause like 'WHERE col2 =35' , will the ind_tab3 index be used. If this index is not used for this query, then what is the point of creating composite indexes? I know that an Index is created automatically for a primary key , which can be composite . So lets ignore this on our discussion.

My point is:
1) review every query on your system
2) then choose an appropriate indexing strategy
So if the col2 value is not used in an AND
clause either, the ind_tab3 index wouldn't be
used at all. Right?David replied to that. Index skip scan or index fast full scan MIGHT kick in.

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
 for Example...
 if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
 <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

Hi,
I want to read the column order of the SharePoint list forms in SharePoint 2003 sites using any of the available web services and need to set the same order
in the newly created list in SharePoint 2010.
I am able to read the fields from SharePoint 2003 and creating the list with same fields in SharePoint 2010, but the column order is not maintaining in

Where TableModel stores the columns ordering?

Hi,
In my JTable i allow columns reordering (setReorderingAllowed(true)).
I want to write to a file the new order of the columns and the next time i will run the program, i want to have the columns displayed just like in the file.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
TS

I serialized a trivial TableColumnModel - 8800 bytes! If this is a desktop app, this is the part package java.util.prefs was born to play! A quick example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.prefs.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TablePrefs {
 private static TableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(
 new String[][] {{"a0", "b0", "c0", "d0"}, {"a1", "b1", "c1", "d1"}},
 new String[] {"COLUMN A", "COLUMN B", "COLUMN C", "COLUMN D"});
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 final JTable table = restoreSettings();
 JFrame f = new JFrame("TablePrefs");
 f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
 public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt) {
 try {
 saveSettings(table);
 } catch (BackingStoreException e) {
 System.err.println(e.getMessage());
 } finally {
 System.exit(0);
 f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table));
 f.pack();
 f.show();
 public static void saveSettings(JTable table) throws BackingStoreException {
 TableColumnModel tcm = table.getColumnModel();
 Preferences node = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(TablePrefs.class);
 for(int i=0, count = tcm.getColumnCount(); i<count; ++i)
 node.putInt("modelIndex"+i, tcm.getColumn(i).getModelIndex());
 node.flush();
 public static JTable restoreSettings() {
 JTable table = new JTable(model);
 TableColumnModel oldtcm = table.getColumnModel();
 TableColumnModel newtcm = new DefaultTableColumnModel();
 int count = oldtcm.getColumnCount();
 Preferences node = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(TablePrefs.class);
 for(int i=0; i<count; ++i) {
 int index = node.getInt("modelIndex"+i, -1);
 if (index == -1)
 break;
 newtcm.addColumn(oldtcm.getColumn(index));
 if (newtcm.getColumnCount() == count)
 table.setColumnModel(newtcm);
 return table;
}Go ahead and run the code! The second execution should retrieve the column ordering from the backing store.

Set the column order in document library using power shell

hi all,
am looking for a power shell script which set the column order in the document library, when i try to upload a document.
ie; i am uploading a doc to the doc lib. which has the below columns:
columnA -   [choice field - mandatory ]
columnB -   [lookup field - mandatory ]
columnC -   [single line of text - optional ]
columnD -   [choice field - optional ]
columnE -   [choice field - mandatory ]
now when the end user uploads a   document in my doc lib, i would like to see the mandatory columns takes up the top order and then optional fields.
columnA
columnB
columnE
columnC
columnD
so, is there any script, through which i can set the mandatory columns which will be coming in top and the optional fields as next order

This is sample PowerShell code to reorder fields in a content type of a list.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://aissp2013/sites/TestSite
$list = $web.Lists["MyList"]
$contentType = $list.ContentTypes | where {$_.Name –eq "MyTestCT"}
$ctArray = "Title","ColumnA","ColumnB","ColumnD","ColumnC"
$contentType.FieldLinks.Reorder($ctArray)
$contentType.Update()

Can't change column order from document content type

Hi,
I noticed a strange error in our SharePoint 2010 environment:
We are using a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition which was migrated from a MOSS 2007 Enterprise Edition with one central document library.
In this library are several content types plus the given document content type which was already there.
When I try to edit the column order in the document content type settings the following error occurs:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and
where it originated in the code.
Exception Details:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location
of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
Stack Trace:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +65
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +2427
This error only occurs with the document content type. Furthermore I am not able to reproduce this error on other libraries except when
I am using a template from this library.
I tried to delete this content type but every time an error occurs which is saying that the content type is still in use. I checked the entire library and all informations from the SharePoint Manager 2010 Tool but the content type is definitely no longer in
use.
I appreciate every little bit of help regarding this problem.
PS:
There is also another error concerning every content type in this library: I can’t create a new or use the standard Microsoft document information panel template because every time I try to there also occurs an error which
states out a NullReferenceException regarding the metadata of this library. But that is another story which is next on my to-do list. First I would like to solve the first error concerning the column order.
Thanks and regards,
Thomas K.

Hi TKellner,
Thanks for your post.
1.
Please try to use the code below to check whether the Content Type is in used.
http://www.learningsharepoint.com/forum/sharepoint-2007-programming/check-where-the-content-type-is-used-in-sharepoint-site/

Can you open the Document Library in SharePoint Designer 2010? Also, can you open the template file correctly?
Share the result.

Report Does Not Follow Select Column Order

Hi all,
Apex 2.2 on 10gXE
I always encounter this problem, the display column on report does not follow the select column sequence order in the "region source".
It is very tedious clicking the up/down arrow one-by-one in the "report attributes" especially if the display columns are plenty like 40 columns.
Is there a fix/patch or alternative tips for this bug?
Thanks a lot,

This is not a bug. APEX maintains the original column order of the report. This avoids problems downstream in areas like the processing of <tt>g_fnn</tt> arrays in declarative tabular forms, where the assigned arrays are column-order dependent.
APEX 4.x fixes column ordering bugs that could lead to report corruption, and includes drag-and-drop column ordering in the new tree view in addition to the up/down arrow re-ordering.
If you really want column order to follow that in the source query, the workaround is to create a new report using the modified query.

Column order in a select * query

Suppose I have 256 columns in a table and if I query select * from tablename ,what will the column order in the result.Will this be always same as order as in created statement?

If the columns were all in the original CREATE TABLE statement, then, yes, the ordering of columns in SELECT * FROM will match the order from the CREATE TABLE statement.
If columns were added after the initial create, then the original columns will come first (in their order) and then the added columns (in their order), etc.
In the real world, it is a very bad practice to use SELECT * and have expectations about the ordering of the columns. Consider this scenario:
Table T was created and implemented in production a year ago with columns A, B, C
A project started up three months ago and added column D but the project is stalled in development. So in development T had columns A, B, C, D
Later, another project started up and added columns E and F. Unlike the other project, it has progressed to Test. and Production. So in Development the table has columns A, B, C, D, E, F. In test and production the table has columns A, B, C, E, F.
Now that stuck project has progressed to Test and Production. Now T has columns A, B, C, E, F, D in test and production but still A, B, C, D, E, F in development.
Until someone notices and decides to fix it (where and how?)
Be very, very careful about using SELECT *.

Interactive report column order not working properly

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with this situation:
Example:
1)
First of all I created a interactive report with this simple query
Select 1 col_A, 2 Col_D from dual
2)Later I modified the query like this
Select 1 col_A, 1 col_C, 2 Col_D from dual
But when I run the report the new column added appear in the end?
I already tryed to reorganize the column order in the navigator menu, but the issue remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Login to APEX builder. Run your page.
Select columns from report action menu and save default layout.

BUG: SQL Developer 1.5.3 CSV export column order broken

There's a bug in the 1.5.3 release of SQL Developer regarding data export. This bug re-orders the column order in the data export to be alphabetically sorted. This produces mangled CSV files if used on a table or a view.
This is a critical bug to me since I need to produce lots of ad-hoc data CSV export files. I'm staying with SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 (53.38) for now as it doesn't have this problem.
This is the same bug as present in Jdeveloper 11.1 as described in my post here: BUG: Jdev 11.1.1.0.0 -- DB table data export column order is not preserved
Quoted from that post:
When I connect to Oracle database, get the table list, right click on the table and select 'Export Data'->csv. The dialog box opens with three tabs: Format, Columns, Where. The column order displayed in both tabs Columns and Where is alphabetic. Because alphabetic ordering re-arranges columns from their initial ordering in the table, this screws up CSV export because columns are not in their intended order. This same problem occurs when I try to export data from views to generate a CSV file with a particular column order.
Please open/check bug report if it's already open.
Thanks!

This happens with all of the export options for tables or views if you right click from the connections tab table list. If I pull it up in the main window and go to the data tab, I can then right click and it will keep the column id order for some of the views and tables. But not all.
I am running 1.5.3 Build Main 5783 on a Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 platform
