Columns order

I have a pivot table with a resulting column graphic showing the answers to a questionnaire
These are 4 possible values, in the correct order:
falso (false) - abbastanza falso (quite false) - abbastanza vero (quite true) - vero (true)
My problem is they are shown in alphabetical order:
abbastanza falso - abbastanza vero - falso - vero
Is there a way to correct this behavior, setting the way I would like the columns to be shown?
Sorry for my bad english :)

Hi,
is this a fix range of values or dynamic?
When it's fix, you could duplicate your column and make use of a case statement where your fix your order.
f.ex : case when object = 'vero' then 1
when object = 'falso' then 2
end
Put an order on this column and hide if you don't want to show it.
Hope this can help you out.

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.

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).

Is that important column order in a query with row_number function

Hi folks,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 on HP-UX machine.
I have 2 types of query with row_number and I think they are same but output of each of them are different. I changed only column order in query2.
Query 1 :
(SELECT
"LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"."CONTRACT_SK" "CONTRACT_SK",
"LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"."SIMCARD_SK" "SIMCARD_SK"
FROM (
SELECT row_number ()
OVER (
PARTITION BY "R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK".
"CONTRACT_SK"
ORDER BY
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."START_DATE" DESC,
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."SEQ_NUM" DESC NULLS LAST) /* EXPRESSION_3.OUTGRP1.SIRA */
"SIRA",
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."CONTRACT_SK" "CONTRACT_SK",
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."SIMCARD_SK" "SIMCARD_SK"
FROM "SRC_OZRDS"."R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK" "R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK")
"LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"
WHERE ("LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"."SIRA" = 1))
Output of this like that :
CONTRACT_SK SIMCARD_SK
1     1
1     3
1     4
1     5
1     6
1     11
1     12
1     14
1     15
1     16
Query 2 :
(SELECT
"LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"."CONTRACT_SK" "CONTRACT_SK",
"LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"."SIMCARD_SK" "SIMCARD_SK"
FROM (
SELECT
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."CONTRACT_SK" "CONTRACT_SK",
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."SIMCARD_SK" "SIMCARD_SK",
row_number ()
OVER (
PARTITION BY "R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK".
"CONTRACT_SK"
ORDER BY
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."START_DATE" DESC,
"R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK"."SEQ_NUM" DESC NULLS LAST) /* EXPRESSION_3.OUTGRP1.SIRA */
"SIRA"
FROM "SRC_OZRDS"."R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK" "R_CON_SUBS_SIMCARD_LK")
"LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"
WHERE ("LOOKUP_INPUT_SUBQUERY"."SIRA" = 1))
Output of this like that:
2     874812
7     70097256
8     18734091
9     158024
10     815397739
13     22657919
19     83177779
20     82579529
22     5829949
23     35348926
25     3865978
I expected the second output, because there are lots of contract sk but there is one contract_sk in first query result. i did not get the point. What is the problem ?

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 *.

Column order in SQL Query (PL/SQL function returning a query)

Hi,
when I define a PL/SQL function returning a query inside a region, I often find that the column order is arbitrarily changed.

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 ();

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,

Datagrid Column Ordering from Recordset?

I often populate my datagrids with a recordset, an array of record objects, by passing the recordset in the dataprovider constructor. However, this results in unpredictable column ordering i.e. it doesn't correspond to the order of the fields in the record object. I know you can define the columns and then use add item to add the records to resolve this, but I'm curious why the datagrid doesn't order the columns according to the record object field order in the first place and why the order can actually change between renderings of the datagrid?

Thanks for the response. I understand the method to order the columns, I'm more curious why doing something like this:
var arr:Array = new Array();
arr.push({label:"item 1b", qty: 1});
arr.push({label:"item 2b", qty: 2});
var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider(arr);
results in the columns being randomly ordered. It be nice if the data grid always produced columns in the order of
label qty
Its probably rooted in the fact a for..in loop doesn't get values from an object in a useful order either.

Column Order in Popup

Is there a way to change the order of the columns in the pop-up? They are in alphabetical order, and i would prefer they are in the order that they are in the table. All of the tools I have ever used with this feature are ordered by column_id. When I visualize a table, I also think of it by column_id with the PKEY being first, not in an alphabetical format. If there is not a way to change this, how would I go about getting a request to make it this way, or add the option?
Edited by: deep_tech_diver on Jan 15, 2010 9:38 AM

I assume that it is the "completion insight" that I am talking about. We currently use PL/SQL Developer and have used other tools in the past that put it in the column order. I like the ability to see the order of the columns, especially with the PKEY being first without having to first describe the table. This allows me to do a quick adhoc query for someone without knowing what the actual spelling of the PKEY name, especially in legacy stuff that didn't follow standard naming conventions, or dealing with third party apps that have cryptic naming conventions where all the columns begin with the same two letters.

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>

Column Order in a pivot table

Hi,
I have a question about the column order in a Pivot Table in a WebI (xi r3.1) report
At the moment I have the following Pivot Table
                   |1                                                 | 2
                   | Produced Water | Produced Oil | Produced Water | Produced Oil
Platform 1   | 2                         | 3                    | 4                         | 5
Platform 2   | 3                         | 4                    | 5                         | 6
I want to have the following pivot table instead
                    | Produced Water                         | Produced Oil
                    | 1                         | 2                    | 1                         | 2
Platform 1    | 2                         | 4                    | 3                         | 5

Is it possible to setup the above pivot table in a WebI report?
Many Thanks for any help,
Dirk Jan

Dirk Jan,
That's a question regurlarly asked to me by users and the solution (as long as nobody is comming up with a better one) is to create variables for the measures for each month (using the WHERE operator).
So you need to define 12 variables (for each month) for Product Oil and Product Water (PO month1, PO month 2, ...., PW month 1, PW month 2 ....) using the formula (eg. PO month1):
=[Product Oil] Where ([month] = 1)
Then instead of a crosstab you build a table where you can put the variables in any order you want.

Harry

Customer Aging - Column order

Hi
A user had 2 separate windows open for Customer Receivables Aging. She used a filter option on the one window which resulted in the column order in window 2 to become mixed up.
Now when you run the aging report it looks like this-
0-30, Future remittance, Customer Name, 120+, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, Interest, Customer Code.......
The 'Form Settings' icon is greyed out for this window. Is there a way to reset this?

Hi,
Whenever a user opens Aging Report two instances, then the columns of the other instance always display incorrectly.
It seems that the system behavior.
PS : Peter, please post a new thread for your query if it is unresolved as sometimes others cannot determine you asked a question or not (as this thread is closed).

Query Result Column Order

I'm working with an embedded db query that specifies columns
by name in the result set, i.e., no *. However, the order of the
columns in the result set seem to be quite random - or at least
dependent on which column is being searched. I'm showing the
results via "resultsGrid." How do I enforce a consistent column
order in query results?
Thanks,

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
