Dynamic sort column header app?

My client wants me to build one of those dynamic ASP pages
with arrows on
the column headers so that when you click on the arrow, the
page re-sorts
the dynamic content... anyone have an extension, or at least
a tutorial on
how to build such a thing? THx

tom-muck.com has a free extension for what you want. doesn't
have the
arrows, but works very well. It may be commercial now, but
he's a good guy
and very reasonably priced.

Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?
BTW: Check these

Dynamically assign column heading to Report columns

I need to assign values to column headings of various Report Columns of my Report region based on current value of one of my application items. How can I do it?

Never mind, there was another post like this. Duplicate. Just in case someone is looking for the answer, here is what worked for me:
Assume the Application item is called app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
Add a page computation before the page loads to set the value of the application item based on whatever condition.
Edit the report column.
In place of hard coded column heading "Project Name" (that was my column heading), replace it with
&app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
The key here is the period after &app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
As the page loads, the column heading will be value of the app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1 (as assigned by the computation).

I have set the column width like this:
in style.css:
/** Column Settings **/
af|column::header-text
background-color:#F0EDE1;
color:#000000;
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
border-color: #B5B5B5;

padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
border-color: #B5B5B5;
WIDTH: 120px;
and in jsp page,write like this:
<af:panelBox text="test" width="1000" background="dark" >
<af:table emptyText="" value="#{ftOverview.listOfTransefersVect}" var="transfers" width="100%" banding="row" bandingInterval="1">

noWrap="true">
<af:outputText value="#{transfers.transactionId}" escape="false"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
</af:panelBox>
but it seems doesn't work well.

Resize Column Heading Dynamically

I have an AdvancedDataGrid for which the user can separately
and independently set the font size used in the column headings and
the rows. Upon saving the form, if the font size used in the rows
changes, I call the function setRowFont() (shown below).
The regenerateStyleCache(true) causes the rows to dynamically
adjust their height to accommodate the text. (The groupRowHeight is
there to adjust the size of the data groupings.) This works just
fine.
I use a similar function for the headings,
setColumnHeadingFont(). When this is run, there is no change. If
you close the app and restart it, the changes are reflected. Is
there some way to change this height dynamically without
restarting? Or is there a reason why this cannot be done?

You can do this by placing the name of your hidden item in the heading column on the 'report attribute' tab of your report region.
For example if you have an item called P1_GRP_BY that you want to display as a column header, type &P1_GRP_BY. in the header column.

Column header sorting: NULLS first/last

Column header sorting doesnt seem to support the NULLS FIRST /LAST feature of the SQL ORDER BY clause.
So, if my data has nulls in it, I cant control where they appear when I click on the column header to sort it.
Is this added to the upcoming 2.0 version?
Thanks

Same question over here: in the J2EE app that I'm rebuilding with Apex, we use NULLS last in all pages, wether order is descending or ascending.
Is 'nulls first/last' supported in any way now?
Are there workarounds to achieve this?
Thanks,

Column header sorting: Checkboxes

Column header sorting doesnt seem to work like one would expect when the column is a checkbox rendered using htmldb_item.checkbox().
If I have a some boxes checked, some unchecked on a page and I click on the column header, I would expect all the checked and unchecked boxes to show up together. But they dont. Does the HTML for the checkbox interfere with the sorting? Is there a way to make it sort what you see on screen?
Thanks

Vikas,
What you get when using htmldb_item calls in your query are varchar2 columns. So itâs ordered by the resulting strings, including all HTML tags that are rendered by that procedure. You might be able to do what you are describing by using Tylerâs sorting hack somehow:

Sorting the report by clicking the column header

Hello,
Currently working on a requirement where i need to sort the report by clicking the column header. Can anyone please help me on this.
Suppose i have 3 colums deptno,dname,sal fields in my report. if i click deptno column header, report has to sort by deptno.Like that i need for other columns also.
Any help is really appreciated
Thanks
Ram

Hello,
You can sort the fields using method suggested by Cauvery. However if you would like to have Ascending/ Descending sort order control at column header, then would require to implement few additional steps.
First do the sorting of field using the way suggested by Cauvery. Once sorting is done, right click on the column name and select the option ' Bind Sort Control'. You will see the sorted field in the window. select the field and click ok.
Now you would get 2 arrows on column. If you click upper arrow, fields would be sorted in Ascending Order and if you click on down arrow, it would be in Descending order.

Popluate Column Heading Dynamically in UI

HI Experts,
I have a requirement where i need to get column descriptions dynamically at item level in UI depending on the process type.
I have an order with two items, when i display the order from search result i go to order detail where i can see the items also.
There is a column called net value as column heading, this populates the net price for each item.
I need to show base price instead of NET PRICE which i am able to do that and column heading name is DNP.
But DNP column heading along with base price is required only for a particular process types , for remaining process types the NET VALUE column heading followed by net price should remain same.

Hi,
User can Maintain the Column Heading's, by the way you mentioned....
Else you can use TOP-OF-PAGE event to build Dynamic Coulmn Headers.

How to sort data in descending order when user clicks on the column heading

Hi
I have a report called "Top customers", which shows the top customers for a specific product line. It displays the customer name and one column with the total amount spent in the period for each product line. By default, the leftmost product line is sorted in descending order.
If the user wants to know who are the top customers for another product line, they simply click on the column heading to sort the list by that column.
The problem is that when you click for the first time on a sortable column heading, Apex sorts it in ascending order; you need to click on the same column heading again to sort in descending order.
Is it possible to change this behaviour and sort the data in descending order in the first click? So the users don't have to click twice...
Thanks
Luis
PS: Apex 3 running on Oracle 10.2.0

Luis,
See: Can I "catch" a click on a sortable column header of a report?
Take a look at Anton Nielsen's answer with regards to hiding a column and displaying its value instead of the sortable column.
Asumming the following simple report query:
select product,sales
from <table>
Change that into:
select product
,sales*-1 as reverse_sales -- Select this one as an extra column
,sales -- Hide this column
from <table>
In your report column attributes (of column reverse_sales), html-expression, type #sales#. It then displays the normal sales. However apex will generate a 'order by 2 asc' for the first time. The '2' will refer to the sales*-1 value: sorting it asc, is the same as sorting sales descending...

JTable - Check box in column header with sorting

Hello
I have 3 problems/questions.
1. When adding sorting to a table with
setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);and you click on a column header, normally a sorting arrow will appear, and indicate in what direction its sorting,
but in the column head with the checkbox, even though the sorting works, the arrow will never appear. Is there anyway to fix this?
2. Is there anyway to get the checkboxes in the table cells to be aligned left (I dont mean the columnheader checkbox, but the ones below)?
3. When you click on the columnheader to either sort or check the checkbox, you will have to wait about a second between each click, or else it won't react and won't sort. sometimes you will have to click twice for it to react. If you click a lot of times fast, then it won't react until you stop for a second, and click again, though it will react only on the first click, but not the secont, third, fourh, and so on, until you stop for a second. Is there anyway to fix this, or atleast make it have a better reaction time?

What are you supposed to cast it to? I might have tried to cast it to something wrong.
I tried
TableCellRenderer tcr = table.getDefaultRenderer(Boolean.class);
((DefaultTableCellRenderer)tcr).setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);and that gave me a ClassCastException. But I might have been trying to cast it to the wrong thing.

How to display the sorting arrows in the table column header

Hi
I am doing a sorting for some columns from the click of the table column headers, In Developer studio, we are able to view the up and down arrows, I need that also to be made visible at run time, so that the user knows that there exists sorting based on that particular column. Is there any other way of doing it ? I cant place more than one control on the header or wrap the text to two lines..also. please clarify. thanks

I assume you are using NW 04.
The table column header contains a IWDCaption element which may display an icon and a text. See property IWDCaption.imageSource.
The table tutorial might also be helpful.

Dynamic column heading in csv export not working

Hi,
I have a SQL report where the column headings are defined dynamically. for an example let's say I have a report
SELECT NAME, TODAY'S_DATE FROM TABLE A.
Under report attribute column I have defined column heading as "&P_todays_date.”. This item has source value “Select sysdate from dual. When I export the data into csv file the dynamic column headings are coming as blank.
Any suggestions?

Dynamic Column Heading in Table Control

Hi
I have a table Control which needs dynamic heading for the first column. So i dragged a label and placed it on the Column 1 header. I gave the corresponding declaration and assignment in TOP include for that screen field. I also tried assigning values in the PBO of the screen also. I even tried replacing the Label with an I/O field. It is not allowing.
Nothing is working. Any suggestions.

Instead of the text field for your column heading, put an input/output field there, and specify the field for output only. Then assign the field with the header that you want on your PBO.
