Custom sort wierdness

I have an album that contains 57 stacks of images. I have been trying to manually drag the images into a 'custom sort' order while in grid view. When I try to drag a stack into either the bottom position or the next to the bottom last position the stack jumps to the second position from the top.
I can drag images into other locations, just not the last or next to last position. Is anyone seeing this behavior?

I've had this very problem. I took my dual 1.8 G5 to the "Studio" at the Apple store in San Francisco and they could not understand the behavior. So far only one album exhibits the behavior you describe. I've had to take a rest from working with this album (300 NEF files) because there have been so many sorting problems that I can't get the album in order.

Custom Sort

I have a wierd problem that has been causing me quite a few headaches and i think if there is a way to do a custom order by, it might get rid of this annoynce.
I have an existing script that is five scripts unioned together. When i run the script on it's own, i get the desired result in the desired order, but when i run it through a data window in powerbuilder it is bringing back a different order and i can't figure out why. It's the exact same script.
Anyways, i'm wondering if i can create a custom sort order by, so that i can specify what the first and second fields are and then let the rest fall as they are supposed to:
Here is a look at my Current results:
Equip_# - Read_Desc - Date ----------- Reading
12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 1101.88
12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
12345 - Summer Peak- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
12345 - Winter Peak - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
12345 - Radio Device - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
12345 - Demand ------- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
I need the first two fields of the table to sorted as follows and then the rest can just fall into place:
Equip_# - Read_Desc - Date ----------- Reading
12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 1101.88
12345 - Demand ------- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
...Doesn't matter how it sorts as long as they two come first
Hope someone can help, cause this really just doens't make a lot of sense and i'm now just trying to get this done and get it behind me.
thanks in advance

Can you post the actual SQL statement you are using (or at least the skeleton structure)? You want the ORDER BY to apply to the entire result, not to one individual subquery that is getting unioned with a number of other subqueries.
Is PowerBuilder trying to order the data before displaying it? Obviously, the GUI is free to disregard the order Oracle happens to return results if you've instructed it to sort the data differently.
JustinI don't believe powerbuilder is trying to order the data before displaying it. If it is, it's in a place not easily seen.

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.

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.

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)

Lightroom Mobile does not recognise my custom sort order

I cannot find a way to get the Lightroom Mobile app on my iPad to recognise the custom sort order set up for the collection on my desktop. I am on the current versions of both Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile. The only sort option that appears in LR mobile is by capture time. The custom sort order is available as an option for the collection on the Abobe website but not on the mobile app.

You can change the sort type when you touch the Capture Type-label. So tab on the "Capture Time"-label and you will see the other sort options like "Modified Date", "Custom Order" etc.
Hope that helps.

Custom Sort records by Char length

Hello guys,
I want to sort a field in a report Cross tab by char length .... a custom sort as below order ...
XXXX - length 5
XX -     length 2
XXX -   Length 3
X -      Length 1
Please advise ...
Thanks .......
Neo

Ah OK. See if this works:
1) Create a formula with this code:
If Len({field}) = 5 then "1"&{field}
Else If Len({field}) = 2 then "2"&{field}
Else If Len({field}) = 3 then "3"&{field}
Else If Len({field}) = 1 then "4"&{field}
2) Replace your existing field in the Crosstab with this formula field
3) click options > options tab > check 'Customize group name field' > from the drop down choose the Database field that you actually wish to show in the crosstab.

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 grayed out

Custom sort is grayed out on my Lightroom 5 menu. How do I change that so I can rearrange the images?

Something else I've noticed, my users are having intermittent problems with deleting recurring appointments: sometimes they'll try to delete single instances and they won't be deleted.

Custom sort problem

Hi,
I have a merged dimension created by two queries and a variable which is again created with the measures of these two queries.
They all work fine. However when I apply a custom sort to the merged dimension, the value of the variable disappears in the table. (It's still same after refresh of queries). It's fine when ascending or descending sorts are applied.
Any ideas about this strange behaviour?
Thanks!

XI 3.1 + SP3 + FP3.5
I've found an exact matching note to the case but it's not solved yet (1604268).
The point is, same case works fine in one of my reports but fails in a copy of it. The only difference between these reports is only a few additional dimensions and they are not relevant with the table I'm trying to apply the custom sort. Eventhough I remove these additional dimensions and make same reports exactly same, copy version is still unable to show the values after custom sort.

Custom sort in Project problem

Hello,
I have a project of old family photo scans that I have custom sorted chronologically and on occasion the images will change from the order that I have them sorted. Any thoughts?
Thanks - Scrags

Personally the only times that I have seen something like this is:
One - inside smart albums with a custom sort order and then only on occasions when the content of the smart album changed dramatically.
Two - some sort of project/album corruption.
Try this - make a new album inside a new project and drag the images into it (the album not the project, so they don't actually move to the new project) custom sort the images in the album, not the project and see what happens over the course of your normal workflow)

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.
