Custom Sort of Duplicated row walues in Webi based on SAP BW Universe

It is a duplicate thread i have already posted in Integration kits - SAP section.
This is regarding custom sorting of row value which are duplicated in Webi which is based on SAP BW Universe.
I have created Webi Report based on Characteristic structure. Using Alerter I provide some space for child node to notify it as child node below a parent node.
Please see a sample table below:
AAAA
onpeak
midpeak
offpeak
BBBB
onpeak
midpeak
offpeak.
If I enable Avoid duplicate row aggregation, i will be able to see duplicate rows for "onpeak" etc. Since Webi does a default sorting, I have to make a custom sort to replicate the structure followed. And in custom sort i dont see duplicated rows, and i see only one "onpeak". Accordingly if I try to sort using custom sort, then the result will be
AAAA
onpeak
onpeak
midpeak
midpeak
offpeak
offpeak
BBBB.
Please let me know if anyone has any solution for this.
I have already created report with modifying the row names in backend by adding letter before its value for example "1offpeak" for the duplicated row and then removing the letter "1" in webi using substring. But i know this is the crude way of doing it.

I have changed the naming convention in BI structure by introducing a white space before the name to avoid duplication and used it in report. Not a good solution anyway.

Custom Sort with a merged dimension in webi report

Hello,
I have a merged dimension (Year/Month - APR 2010, FEB 2010, MAR 2010, JAN 2010, ...), I need to apply a custom sort, but with a merged dimension this feature is disabled. Why? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
This can be solved by creating a variable for the merged dimension object.
After you have done this you can apply a custom sort

Incorrect sort order of rows in Purchase Order based on Sales Order

Hello Experts.
I have this problem on SAP B1 8.81 PL 04:
I create a Purchase Order based on a Sales Order with 10 item rows, ticking the purchase order box in the logistic tab.
The sort order of rows is different between PO and SO.
I need the same order of SO on PO.
Is there something I can do or it's a problem of this patch?
I saw the Sap Note nr. 824822 but it's related to SAP B1 version 2004 A...

Webi 4.0 Custom Sort for SSAS Hierarchy

Hi,
I'm using SSAS cube as a source for my webi report .Some report need custom sorting for hierarchy object , we are not able to apply sorting correctly in webi.
What do i need to do in order to apply the custom sorting for hierarchy object? Thanks.

Hi, I've written a post on this:
http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
...and a few people in the comments seemed to have the same problem as you, which seems to be a bug (clicking the ellipsis does not launch the custom values screen).
Perhaps you could try the solution offered by Gallin, which was to create a second input control, then retry the steps to create another input control and click the ellipsis to enter custom values.
Hope that helps.

Live Office does not retain the Custom Sorting applied in a Webi report

Hi,
We have a Webi report in which we applied "Custom Sorting" to sort the Business Names in the required order. However, when we import that to excel using live office, excel doesnt retain the same format and there are not much options that are available within xcelsius to do the sorting. I have gone through various posts here but none resolved this specific issue.
Here is our environment:
Xcelsius 4.5
Live Office Frame work 11.5.5.525
BOXI R2 SP1 and MHF1
I tried using different options under "Report View formatting" within live office options but none seem to have made any difference. Unfortunately we can't make any changes to the universe in this case. I checked for few paid addon's but they seem to be for Xcelsius 2008. We have a release next week and would appreciate if any of you can guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks
Pavan

hi pavan
i can just tell you that i had no issues with custom column sorting in webi with Enterprise XI 3.0 and Xcelsius 2008.

Customized Sort for Cross-Tab Row

I have a simple Cross-Tab on my report that needs to be sorted in a static Row order.
My cross tab has 1 Row (Name) and 1 column (Total Sales).
Currently the CrossTab sorts the Name Alphabetically (ASC). But I need to specify a specific order. I have added a numeric field to my table and I assign a numeric value to the last names so that I might be able to sort the Name Row based on my "CustomSortOrder" numeric field.
Currently it looks something like this:
A
B
C
D
E
I want it to be: (numeric value behind the scenes)
C (1)
D (2)
E (3)
A (4)
B (5)
ALL OTHERS (9999)
I cant seem to figure out where I need to set this. I have tried adding a group to the report. I have tried setting the Report Sort order. I am out of ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jimmy,
Here's what you need to do :
1) Go to the Crosstab Expert > Remove the existing 'name' field from the 'Row'
3) Add the numeric field as the 'Row'
4) Select the Row > Group Options > Options Tab > Customize Group Name Field > Use formula as a Group Name > Click the formula button beside and use this code:
If {numeric_field} = 9999 then "All Others"
else
{Name_Field}

Custom Sort Order (Re-ordering)?

I understand I can't drag and drop in smart collections or in folders with sub-folders. But I should be able to re-order photos in a normal collection by dragging and dropping. This feature has stopped working. Any ideas? Thank you (LR 4.1 with Windows 7, 64 bit)

Followup: I spoke to Andre with Aperture support. He could not confirm this, at first, using a small number of images dragged from project A to Project B. Using a larger number (99 in his case), he was able to confirm the loss of custom sort order. The Apple web site says this has been corrected for import/exports and that is also not fixed. He will refer the problem to engineering for correction in a future update.
I suspect (have no proof) the problem relates to the way Aperture divides each download (from card or camera) to a project into separate folders. To see this, export a project and open it (show package contents). Within the project package are separate folders for each of the downloads to the project. Aperture does not consolidate the images into a single folder. It appears that when a set of images are downloaded at one time is interposed between images taken previously, the sort order is not lost when the images are moved to another project or exported as a project.
I still would like to know if there is a work around for this.

Custom sort order still lost

This was not fixed as reported by Apple with Aperture version 2. When I move custom sorted images from one project to another, or export and import a project with custom sorted images, the sort order is lost. The order after the move, or import is either in file name order or sometimes in a completly random order. This occurs on both my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and my 8 core (16GB RAM) Mac Pro.
This makes it impossible to do efficient work in the field and export the work.

Custom sort disabled

hi
i have created a report with 3 queries, where i had month object in it and that one is unsorted, so i have used custom sort option for sorting the month from JAN to DEC while adding first query.
when i started to add the second and third query, the custom sort option is disabled in webi.
the first one which is already sorted also became unsorted .
what to do ?
Regards
dineshkumar

Hi,
This may be help for you,
sorting option you see on right click short cut menu, i.e;
sort------->none
>Asending
>Desending
>custom
when you use to sort option most be click on one column and right click on that select sort and custum then select your custom order and next ok, so you get custom sorting.
and appy same procedure to second query when you add query on same report with same business fields.

Custom sort order right after import

right after an import I start culling and basic editing. From here I will rename, keyword, and proof, than I file the images in the appropriate folder. But before renaming and proofing I may need to change the order of images.
LR does not allow you to change the order of images right after an import unless you have filed the images to a new folder..... Well I need to sort before filing.
Hope this can be done. I think it is simple enough.

AdvancedDataGrid with multiple custom sort functions

I have an AdvancedDataGrid with several levels of nested data in which each level needs to have a custom sort.
Ex:
A
     Z
          C
          D
          A
     Y
          C
          D
          A
     X
          C
          D
          A
B
     Z
          C
          D
          A
etc...
Is this possible without a massive sort function that takes every possible combination into account? Better yet, I'm already sorting it in SQL - can I disable the automatic sort and just have it spit out the data in the order XML passes it to ActionScript?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to remove the end users' ability to sort, I'm trying to disable the automatic alphabetic sort that the ArrayCollection/AdvancedDataGrid does when it first renders the table. I know it can be overridden by using the "compareFunction" callback, but the compareFunction only iterates through the rows once, and I effectively need something that will iterate through 3 times - one for each nesting level.
The cookbook suggests concatenating the fields and then applying the sorting logic, but that works best if you're applying the same sort to every level of nesting. In my case, it means a massive function along the lines of:
switch(concat_fields1) {
     case 'AZC':
          switch(concat_fields2) {
               case 'AZD':
                    return 1;
                    break;
               default:
                    return -1;
                    break;
          break;
     case 'AZD':
          etc.
So far, that's the only solution I've found.

LR - Creating Custom Sort Orders in Lightroom | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

Julieanne Kost shows the best ways to take advantage of Adobe Lightroom’s Custom Sort Order feature in this Lightroom 2 tutorial.
http://adobe.ly/y3dj94

This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.
PowerBook G4 1.67 2GB RAM 128MB ATI Video, External FW Drives for library Mac OS X (10.4.7)

ou must have an older iPod.
I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)
