DataGrid Sorting Problem

Hi all,
We are running one query from Sql Query Analyser ,
for selecting values and displaying it in ascending order.
We are executing the same query from coding to load in to
datagrid , but its not arranging it by ascending order instead
its sorting randomly.
Because of this, if i select particular row from Datagrid, its not fetching
the selected row from the grid instead its taking corresponding row number's
value.
Thanks
Vaithy

HI vaitheeswaran l... ,
yeah what u said is correct grid takes in that manner when u are using collapse levels.try without using collapse levels.if u want using collapse levels it wont come

Sorting Problem in FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table

Hi,
FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table storing the record FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_N1(MENU_ID,PROMPT,LANGUAGE) wise in R12. But whereas in 11i, records stored FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_U1(MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE).
I am confused, whether i need to recreate the index in R12, so the records will get store MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE wise.
Could any one please suggest me how to resolve this problem.
Thanks,

Sorting problems in Grid View

Hi, I'm having a bit of a sorting problem when it comes to an artist with name variations. The example I'm going to use is DJ Tiesto.
There are album I have where he is credited as DJ Tiesto, and others where he is simply Tiesto.
In the end, I'd like these albums sorted chronologically under one name (say DJ Tiesto), while still preserving and showing the proper artist name for each album. I have it set to sort by "Album by Year", which is working fine.
The major problem I am having is that I can't get it to display properly across all iTunes viewing methods: List mode, Grid mode, and Coverflow.
I've tried leaving the Artist field alone, and changing the Sort Artist field to "DJ Tiesto" for all songs, and that almost works:
-List mode groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Coverflow sorts them all in chronological order, while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
Problem is, Grid mode sorted by ARTIST creates two separate artists! Some for DJ Tiesto and some for Tiesto!
To correct this I tried changing the Album Artist field for all songs to "DJ Tiesto", which solved that problem but created a bunch of new ones:
-List mode is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", *however now it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Grid mode sorted by Artist is now grouping them all under "DJ Tiesto", *however it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Coverflow is sorting them in correct chronological order, *however it as well is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
Using the Album Artist tag has created more problems that it has solved! Is there anyone who knows a way to achieve what I am trying to do? I have tried seemingly every option I can and have still not found a way to do this!!
Thanks!

My own method of working involves renaming the files upon import to:
i "shotdate_sequencenumber"
Files are therefore typically named
b 2007-11-25_001
etc.
This way, sorting by Filename automatically sorts by Date by default. And it wouldn't even matter if you added a descriptive text in between the date and number (
b 2007-11-25_Scotland_001

Sorting problem in standard vendor search help

Hi all,
I'm enhancing the vendor search help.
I found that there is a sorting problem in the original standard search help.
The 1st time to search vendor in the search help returns a correct list, then I just sort the vendor in ascending order. This time the column name of the hit list changes and mismatch the actual values.
Any one faced this problem before?
What's wrong are there ?
Thanks.

Thanks Peluka.
But even I don't enhance the vendor search help, I still found that the original standard version has this problem after sorting.
Is that the program bug?
Have anyone encountered this problem before?

DataGrid sort start/completion: specific associated events?

Hi all,
A lot of my DataGrid sorts take a non-trivial amount of time.
So, I'd like to show a busy cursor while the operation runs. In
order to do this I'd need events associated with the start and
completion of the operation. Are there such events available?
Thanks!

This thread was "imported" from the old forums -- most, if not all, code seems to have disappeared. But here are the sort functions I posted:
function sortXML(source:XML, elementName:Object, fieldName:Object,
options:Object = null):XML
     // list of elements we're going to sort
     var list:XMLList=source.elements("*").(name()==elementName);
     // list of elements not included in the sort -
     // we place these back into the source node at the end
     var excludeList:XMLList=source.elements("*").(name()!=elementName);
     list= sortXMLList(list,fieldName,options);
     list += excludeList;
     source.setChildren(list);
     return source;
function sortXMLList(list:XMLList, fieldName:Object, options:Object =
null):XMLList
     var arr:Array = new Array();
     var ch:XML;
     for each(ch in list)
           arr.push(ch);
     var resultArr:Array = fieldName==null ?
           options==null ? arr.sort() :arr.sort(options)
           : arr.sortOn(fieldName, options);
     var result:XMLList = new XMLList();
     for(var i:int=0; i<resultArr.length; i++)
           result += resultArr[i];
     return result;

Datagrid sorting issues with 1/0 items to consider

Hi all,
I have an issue I can't find a way to fix. I am using a datagrid which I pouplate through a XMListCollection based on some XML datas.
XML:
var prefs:XML = <files>
<file name="@toto" favourite="1"/>
<file name="@toto"favourite="0"/>
</files>;
XMLListCollection
var xlc:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection( new XMLList ( prefs.file) );
MXML
<mx:DataGrid id="filesList" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{xlc}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="25" dataField="@favourite"sortCompareFunction="favourite_sortCompareFunc"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
Sorting fucnction:
private function favourite_sortCompareFunc(itemA:Object, itemB:Object):int {
    var value1:Number = Number( itemA.@favourite );
    var value2:Number = Number( itemB.@favourite );
    if(value1 < value2){
         var n:Number = -1;
         return n;
    else if(value1 > value2){
         return 1;
    else{
         return 0;
    return 1;
Once loaded, the datagrid appears in a "normal state":
But if I try to sort first column, it becomes messy
I think it might be related to the fact that the data to be sorted is only made of 0 & 1. But I can't imagine this kind of situations is not fixable.
Any hint ?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Loic

Hi guys,
First of all, all my apologizes for my silence. I had technical issues with Yahoo mail that made me miss 3 months mail ! So I just missed your posts and I can only come today to thank you all for your care and answers.
In the meanwhile, I finally got it working by doing…nothing. Let me explain. The issue was caused by equal datas ( 1 or 0 ). So Flex couldn't sort 1 and 1 or 0 and 0 by itself. But these 0 and 1 were flags for an itemrenderer made of a button in toggle mode. 1 standed for on, 0 for off.
Doing so I did override updateDisplayList and then the issue went away. But if I had to stick with pure datas ( 1 or 0 ) I think I would have had to do a custom sort function to deal with equal datas like a few of you offered.
@DonMitchinson the @ stands for the xml attribute as the datagrid is populated with XMLListCollection from an XML file.
Thanks for your sharing,
Best,
Loic

Datagrid labelfunction sort problem

I have a problem with sorting on all columns the moment I
implement a labelFunction in a datagrid. When I click the datagrid
headers nothing happens anymore. I need the labelFunction in the
first place to format some data.
Does anyone has a solution for my problem?
Here's the code (fragmented):
<mx:DataGrid id="dgUsers" dataProvider="{aUsers}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="number"
labelFunction="dispUsers"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="name"
labelFunction="dispUsers"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="role"
labelFunction="dispUsers"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
private function dispUsers(item:Object, column:
DataGridColumn):String {
switch(column.headerText) {
case "number":
return item.username;
case "name":
return formatName(item.voornaam, item.tussenvoegsel,
item.achternaam);
case "role":
return item.roleName;
default:
return "";
private function formatName(sVoor:String, sMidden:String,
sAchter:String):String {
var sName:String = "";
if(sAchter != "") {
sName += sAchter;
if(sVoor != "") {
if(sName != "") {
sName += ", ";
sName += sVoor;
if(sMidden != "" && sVoor != "") {
sName += " " + sMidden;
return sName;

Because you have a labelFunction, the DataGrid now needs a
sortCompareFunction to tell it how to sort your data. Here is some
extra info.

Datagrid Array Problem

Hello to everyone who reads this. I've been on the forums
over the past few days trying to track down my issue, but I cant
seem to nail it down. I was hoping someone would have the time to
help me out.
Problem is this: Play list editor what all the information is
stored in a mysql database. retrieving the information and passing
it to flex and working with it in data grids has been relatively
smooth. The problem happens when I attempt to drag files onto the
playlist. It seems the information being passed is an array 'items'
as it states in the docs, but in each array is xml associated with
the file.

Im assuming the comma separation from each child 'file',
denotes the items are stored as an array. i don't know if i should
attempt to send them back to php for processing of if im doing
something wrong to begin with that the data comes out that way.
Thanks in advance for any responses or insights.

I'm not sure there is a proper way to do anything ( who
decides this anyhow :) ) ....I guess it depends on what your doing
and how efficient it is and whether it needs to scale to a massive
system or not..otherwise if it works ...it works !
I dont actually use php on the server side, i use java remote
objects. and they return java collections...which i then cast to
arraycollection in flex and access it that way...I'm not sure what
the php equivalent is, some sort of array (cohesive ??) as you
mentioned. I really like the way java and flex co-exist on the
server & client. If i make a .as class for an object in flex, I
then make the equivalent java class on the server so I can store it
in the DB
and do the CRUD stuff. I use keys a lot too, so i find my
datagrids in flex often need itemrenderers / comboboxes to be able
to choose the key values as options , so the combo items come
straight out the DB too..anyway you get the gist..it sounds like
your doing similar. I have done a little php before and I really
liked how little code was required to do stuff. I think for me,
I've done a bit of java before so its easier just to stay with what
you know..glad you sorted it out yourself too.

Datagrid sorting

Hello,
I have a problem when it comes to sorting a datagrid with multiple fields. I have two fields A and B . B has numerical values . How can i sort B yet also change the data in A since they are dependent from each other?
This is my datagrid
<s:DataGrid id="rankinggrid" includeIn="Ranking" x="156" y="84" width="528" height="229"
                                        dataProvider="{gridrank}" requestedRowCount="4">
                    <s:columns>
                              <s:ArrayList>
                                        <s:GridColumn dataField="sequrank" headerText="Sequence" sortDescending="true"></s:GridColumn>
                                        <s:GridColumn dataField="coeff" headerText="Coeffiecent"></s:GridColumn>
                              </s:ArrayList>
                    </s:columns>
            </s:DataGrid>
Basically i want to sort coeff in desending order but i want to data in seqrank to move accordingly.
Thanks for your help
P.s i am managing to populate the datagrid so all i need is to sort it thanks

Thanks for your help again
I have reduced the code since the original code is very lengthy and hence impossible to post , yet this should work.
Here i am sorting the grid array according to cost. The problem is that it doesnt work it out in a descending manner(the command you told me doesnt work it gives me an error ) i have used sort and it sorts it in an ascending way and does not give me an error
I would like to solve in a descending way Hope you can help thanks for your time i really appreciate

DataGrid Sort Clears HeaderRenderer Checkbox

I have a datagrid that I defined a checkbox as the
headerrenderer for one of the columns. It took me a while to track
this down, but it seems like a re-sort on one of the columns (other
than the checkbox headerrenderer column) clears the state of the
checkbox and resets it to chexkbox.selected=false.
Is there any way to persist the checkbox selected property of
a headerrenderer checkbox instance on re-sort.
I played with disabling the default sort methods and creating
my own sort functionality by only allowing a specific column to be
sorted. That didn't solve my problem though.
Thanks,
JB

I did something similar with my DataGrid. The way I solved
the problem was to make a global variable to hold the checkBox's
checked value and then on the checkbox's click event ran a global
function to handle the setting of the global var:
<mx:DataGridColumn id="copyColumn" dataField="check"
width="35">
<mx:headerRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:HBox horizontalAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:CheckBox id="check"
tabIndex="1" labelPlacement="top" selected="
{outerDocument.check_flg}"
click="
outerDocument.checkAll(check.selected)" height="18" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Component>
</mx:headerRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
note that the above code is contained in a component that
extends mx:DataGrid
I think you can get the jist...

DataGrid Sorting Issues

Dear Good Sirs,
I have encountered a problem with an app of mine where i have a datagrid that i refresh every 30 seconds. However on the refresh of the dataset i will loose the sorting that i have on my datagrid. I have trailed the net for various work arounds but so far have been unsuccessful and would appreciate some advice as to how i might be able to get around this issue. I take the data from a source url to provide and xml list. Sample below.
//where the data is coming from
mx:HTTPService id="httpGetOffers" url="testURL" method="GET"
resultFormat="e4x" result="doxmltestlist(event)" fault="fault(event)" useProxy="false" />
//my xmllist
[Bindable] private var xmltestlist:XMLList;
/result set
private function doxmltestlist(evt:ResultEvent):void
xmltestlist = evt.result.r;
//my grid
<mx:Panel title="Offer Bonds Only">
<renders:CitiDataGrid id="dgtestsort" dataProvider="{xmltestlist}" rowCount="20" variableRowHeight="true"totalRowColor="0xCCCCCC" >
<renders:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="1" headerText="test1 sortCompareFunction="{numericSortByField('x')}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="2" headerText="test2" sortCompareFunction="{numericSortByField('autonegtotaloffers')}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="3" headerText="test3" sortCompareFunction="{numericSortByField('done')}"/>
</renders:CitiDataGrid>
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Patrick

If you are resetting the dataprovider, you will have to save and re-apply
the sort. If the data items really aren't changing, it might be better to
find a way to update the current dataProvider.

Sort problem in a report

Hi,
I'm using the sort on a report with 7 columns. For each column I've specified
the sort sequence from 1 to 7. The last sort is a date field. If i sort now the
last column and i change to next report side the sort change jump to the first column.
Is there somebody who had also a problem like this?
Greets,
Tom

You can check boxes to determine which columns can be sorted; if you check one or more boxes, you also need to set the "Sort Sequence" attribute under the "Report Attributes" tab of your SQL query region. So to use sorting you must.
1. ensure you don't have an order by in your SQL statement
2. check one or more "sort" boxes
3. set the default order in one or more column in the "sort sequence" column
Hope this helps,
Mike

Sorting Problem in XML Publisher Report

Dear Members,
I am facing problems with sorting data in my XML Publisher Report.
We are using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Version and i developed a rtf Template and executable is an RDF which generates XML Data.
I want the whole report to group by element ITEM_NAME which is a character in the ascending order. I tried several ways but it is not working properly.
I don't know how to upload the RTF template in this forum. I tried to post the XML Code and since its excceds 30000 characters i cant post it in the forum.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

You can't upload the template here; you can post a part of the relevant XML code and template code here.
or send me a sample XML and RTF template to [email protected] and I will take a look.

Mail sorting problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I have a strange problem with Mail after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading, when I tried to search my Mail Inbox for e-mails from a specific sender, the esearch results would be indexed by the name of the sender. For example: when I entered 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail, it would display a list of email from 'John Smith'
Now after upgrading, the same query indexes the search results by the 'To' address i.e. my email address.For example: if my name is 'Steve Johnson', a search for 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail displays a list of email to 'Steve Johnson' and not from 'John Smith' which is how it used to display before.
My emails are sorted by Date always, and I am using the default Mail view [not classic view]
Can someone please help with a fix for this to help me get back to the original display I had while searching? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem. It's incredibly annoying!!! Did you find an answer?

Help with Artist Sort Problem Needed...

This is a bit long, so I'll start with the three main questions and below them is the backstory and detail of the problem (I did do a search but nothing turned up):
1) Does anyone know how to fix artist sorting issues where the artists are properly sorted (alphabetically by last name and band name) but there are constant grey-bar letter headings for the first name (sorry...I don't know how to explain better than I do below in detail)
2) Will re-setting the Touch require I have to...
a) re-add all the songs I've manually selected again
b) re-input any data saved to apps (such as CarCare and
Pocketpedia) and if so, can I backup that data first?
3) If all the re-doing in 2 above is necessary if I were to re-set the iPod, can anyone think of an alternative fix that would avoid a reset?
I might be able to get to an Apple store this weekend to ask a "genius" but I'm not that confident in them since I was given some incorrect information on how the Touch handles playlists at the time of original purchase.
Okay... now, what happened:
I'm not sure what to make of this, fortunately playback and all main functions are unaffected. I have my iPod Touch 2g set for manual sync. Today, while I was charging it at work, my PC (WinXP) froze. I gave it plenty of time to unfreeze, but eventually had no choice but to do a hard reboot while the iPod said "syncing." I slid the slider to cancel the sync, but the iPod didn't respond. I unhooked it from the PC and it unfroze. I shut it down and re-started.
Everything seemed fine after the iPod reboot except that now, while the artists are still sorted alphabetically (I've manually set artists to sort by last name), there are headers using the first letter of the first name between each artist. So, for instance, this is how the top of my artist list looks now (lines below with just a letter are the grey divider bar with the alphabetical header):
R
Ryan Adams
D
Dave Alvin
T
Tori Amos
E
Eric Andersen
A
Apples in Stereo
Arcade Fire
L
Louis Armstrong
A
Ataris
...etc.
This problem has not extended to album or song title fields, but for some reason, when scrolling through the album view using the index on the right, it moves fine until "O" -- then it sits still as I scroll down until it gets to "#", at which point it's resposnive again.
I've checked the music library on the iPod via iTunes and the artist sort fields are still correct.
Suggestions? I'm new to the Touch and am leery of doing a reset yet since it's taken time to figure out which songs from my 100+gb library to manually put on this. Also, I have no idea how it will affect the apps I've downloaded. There are some where I've saved data (such as CarCare and Pocketpedia) and I REALLY don't want to risk having to re-input all that data.
To anyone with any words of advice, thanks in advance.

This is an answer to only qestion 2. Yes restoring your ipod will delete all songs, apps, videos, etc., but you can back up settings like a passcode lock or screen brightness. But it will ask if you want to back up settings. If your'e on windows, in itunes go to file and down almost all the way you will see a "Tranfer purchases from (ex.) steves ipod" and that will make sure you have all your apps and music and other stuff.
