Default column sort order for 11g table

Could anyone give me some indication on how I would go about setting the default sort order for a table?
I have a table with a few columns, and dataset returns in a particular order, but my table decides to sort if in any given order until I manually click on the column header and sort it.
I would like to have it done by default on a particular field.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
Jonny

As Chris says, the easiest way and best re-use way is to use the order-by clause in your underlying model layer SQL query. For instance in ADF BC this would be in a View Object's query.
However as you haven't dictated your model layer technology, there is another way in JDev 11g. In your web page that contains the ADF Faces RC table, select the binding tab at the bottom of the page, then double click on the iterator in the binding page, and in the Edit Iterator Binding dialog, select the Sort Criteria tab. This allows you to override the sort order on the iterator's columns.

  • Default Column Sort Order For KM iViews

    By default, the KM iViews we're using sorts the documents within a folder based on the filename in descending order.  Is there a way that I can change the default sort order to be the Modified Column in reverse chronological order?
    Any help on this matter is appreciated.

    This can be done in the colection renderer of the iview's layout set. Simplye enter the property you want to sort on in 'Property for Sorting' field and 'Sorting Mode' as descending or ascending.
    The 'sorting Mode' option is only visible in the advanced mode. 

  • Sorting Order for SAP Tables in DB2 database

    Dear Experts -
    ISSUE: When an ABAP program selects data from the DB into an internal
    table, it is changing the way the data is sorted. In other words, the
    internal table data is in a different sort order than what is in the
    DB. It is not working this way in all other non-production systems
    (DEV, QAS, SAX, etc).
    Temporary solution for the programs that have been identified as
    impacted: Use the ABAP Command 'sort' on the internal table.
    Permanent solution needed : Since it is impossible to identify all
    of the programs that will be impacted, we need PRD to work like DEV,
    QAS, SAX, etc. when selecting data into internal tables. The data
    should be in the same order as it is in the DB (sorted by the key).
    ADDITIONAL INFO: DB2 storage disks crashed a day before. H/W team recovered everything. We are facing this only after the recovery.
    Thanks,
    Dinesh

    can you please check in your code if the sql that is being sent has an order by clause .
    Please let us know the SQL statements that is basically used to fill up the internal table.
    When data is fetched from the database, it is not sorted always. Probably you had a clustered index on the tables and the clustering is not there now.

  • Default Sort Order for Library View

    It would be fantastic if there were a user defined preference for a default sort order in Library view. For example, some users may prefer to always view the images by File Name, or Rating, etc, without having to change the sort order for each individual folder they view via Lightroom.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion Allan, but it doesn't work.
    I'm specifically referring to the defaults that Aperture 3 adopts when you use the "File, Import, Folders as Projects with the projects and albums setting.
    What I'm finding is regardless of the setting in the Library preferences, the default sort order for the project is Date and Manual for the album.
    Yet if I create a project manually the default sort order is as per the Library prefs. Strange.

  • Change Lookup column sort order

    I would like to change the default ascending sort order of a Lookup column in a new or edit form to descending.  Can this be set via the API?
    Thanks
    Fred

    Hi Fox4,
    When you add the lookup column to the list, the look items will be shown as ASC by default. For example, when there are four Lookup columns (“IT”, “FN”,”GN”), they will be shown as the following order: “FN”,”GN”,”IT”. And there is no API to change their
    order as far as I Know.
    I agree buckenn’s idea. you have to do this using Javascript or JQuery.
    Thanks,

  • Sort Order for Legend and X Axis

    Does anyone know of a way to keep a specific sort order for both the X Axis and the Legend. Both start with numbers and I can get one or the other to sort correcly on the chart but not both. Biggest problem is not all of the legend items are in the first X Axis item so the colors change on the bar graph depending on the legend items in the first X Axis item.

    If you tie bar colors with values, how you will differentiate the bars for different legends.
    Take an example, there are three columns Employee, Location and salery have following values
    Employee Location Salery
    A London 30000
    B Chicago 40000
    C London 50000
    D Chicago 60000
    if we keep Location as Legend and Employee in X Axis, and sort Legend first then Employee. Set Blue for Chicago and Red for London, First two blue bars for A and C will be displayed and then two red bars for B and D will be displayed. Order in X axis will be A,C,B and D. This is not in sequence but this is the way it will and it should work. If you sort by Employee instead if Location, you will get sequence in X axis, but the same colored bars wont be together.
    Thanks

  • Sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin)

    FrameMaker 10 (Windows)
    It seems that if I specify the sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin) on the reference page,
    index entries that start with "i" and "v" are not shown under their corresponding group titles.
    (I assume that this may be due to the fact that pinyin words never start with these letters.)
    If I have an entry that starts with an English word like "IP," it appears under the "J" group.
    I want the entry to appear under the "I" group. How can I do this?
    I have the IX reference page set up as follows:
    GroupTitlesIX paragraph
    Symbols[\];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$pinyin>
    I've also tried:
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$pinyin>
    Thanks in advance.

    I sort of found a workaround, but it may lead to other problems, so use it at your own risk.
    It also requires a bit of work.
    The idea is to use the sort order for Japanese by specifying the following in the IX reference page.
    Symbols[\ ];数字[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;あ;い;う;え;お;か;き;く;け;こ;さ;し;す;せ;そ ;た;ち;つ;て;と;な;に;ぬ;ね;の;は;ひ;ふ;へ;ほ;ま;み;む;め;も;や;ゆ;よ;ら;り;る;れ;ろ;わ;ん;[　]

    Then, you need to capitalize the first letter in the bracket used for sorting for every index entry.
    Example:
    Instead of
    画面[hua4mian4]
    specify
    画面[Hua4mian4]
    Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to do a search and replace on all index entries to capitalize the first letter...

  • Control of sort order for asian language navigation

    I am a help writer who is working with both development and a localization vendor to create localized javahelp. I am the most knowledgeable about javahelp, which is not saying much. It has come to me to figure out how to establish the correct sort order for Simplified Chinese and Japanese language Index and Glossary navigators, Could someone explain to me how this is done outside of tools like RoboHelp (which has caused us major headaches yet seems to be the only way the vendor knows how to do JavaHelp). In layman's terms, please.

  • How to restore default sort order on a table?

    Have an ADF table with some sortable columns, populated by an SQL view (having its own Order By).
    Looking for a way to let user revert to default sort order after sorting columns.
    Currently, I have a button linked to:
    public String cmdRefreshOrders() {
    this.getTblOrders().setSortCriteria(null);
    DCIteratorBinding iter = ADFUtils.findIterator("iterUnderlyingTable");
    iter.executeQuery();
    return null;
    This doesn't work
    Any ideas?

    Tried. Doesn't work.
    Iterator doesn't have a setOrderByClause() -- closest I see is applySortCriteria(), which takes an array of SortCriterias, not a String. Might be able to parse Order By string to create array of SortCriterias, but this smells wrong. Probably wouldn't work anyway because ...
    Tried doing iter.applySortCriteria(null) before executeQuery. This accomplished nothing -- the sort created from clicking the column header persisted.
    Looks to me like the sort is persisting as some property in the table or in the display column.
    Any more ideas?
    Thanks
