Functionality to determine/change the sort oreder of a query in Webi and CR

Hi
Does Business Objects Web Intelligence have the functionality to
determine/change the sort order of a query, or does it always push down
the order by into the database and have the database do the sorting? The
background to my question is particularly multi-byte characters (e.g.
Japanese or Chinese characters).
What about the feature in Crystal Reports product?
Regards
Nisha

The sort order of the query is completely irrelevant to reports, which default to sorting by columns on a left to right basis.
The only reason to sort in a query is where you are restricting the number of rows returned and want the top n rows.

Changing the sorting in the Icon view

This has been giving me a headache since I upgraded to Lion since it was released. I deal with very large numbers of files of various types and since OS X first was released it was easy for you to sort items in a folder by type however with Lion Apple dropped the ball on this. In the Icon View it is foolish not to have the folders listed first in the sort or arrange order. If you have folders that have folders in them to help separate large projects it used to be simple to navigate but now Apple has made this simple navigation task a total pain. Since you have to scroll down to get to the sub folder and heaven help you if you have to do this several times. There is no good reason not to allow the user to change the sort order. A simple search shows I am not alone in this and Apple has yet to respond this problem.
We are up to version .3 on lion and this still is a nightmare. I understand and agree with the strategy to make iOS and OS X to be similar for the novice user but to do so by sacrificing the functionality of OS X is well stupid. If I wanted an iPad I would have bought one not a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro to work on. You cant run the programs I use a super sized iPhone. Till you can please don’t cripple OS X. It can't be a huge task to allow the user in the icon view to chose ascending or descending order and lock that choice in. Also have it automatically adjust the arrangement if you resize the window so you dont have to scroll side ways only up or down.
Finder worked like this since I switched to Mac's back in 2002. I have been very happy with OS X and Apple till this change. This is not a small issue for me. I have counting external and internal drives totaling 14 TB's of storage and add about 1 TB a month with the projects I now have. I hope this gets fixed soon it has me worried that Apple is solely catering to the iPad and iPhone users. I didn't spend nearly 10K$ for a new workstation and laptop to have it function like an iPad.
For the record I do like the iPad but you can't run Photoshop, MS Office, Poser or CAD programs on an iPad and if you could it would take it weeks to do some of the tasks that a dual quad core can do in minutes.
There are ways to bring back many functions that were changed in Lion such as hiding the scroll bar or reversing the scrolling direction why not retain the sort options that your customers have been using for years? This small change reduces productivity and thus reducing my profit margins and not to mention increasing aggravation.

I actually didn't read your whole dissertation, but if you want to know about sorting in the Finder, then this is how it works:
There are two modes of organizing the layout of the items in the Finder. There is an Arrangement which is grouping similar characteristics together. Then, there is sorting which sorts the items by some criteria, like name, date, etc.
The Arrangement and Sorting functions are both in the same menu item or button on the toolbar. Arrangement is primary, and Sorting is secondary. You can get to the Sorting options by holding down the option key and clicking on the button or menu option.
You can have both an Arrangement and a Sort, depending on the Arrangement chosen. Arranging by Name or Date doesn't offer any other sorting options. Arranging by Kind, or Application, or Label will allow you to sort each group by some criteria chosen from the Sort options.
If you Arrange by None, you can sort by any of the other criteria.
I have run into a bug where you can choose the sort order once arranged. You can usually reverse the sort order by going into List View, arrange by None, and set the sort direction in the column headers.

Change the sort order (ascending/descending) based on parameter field

I have created a formula on a subreport to change sorting based on variables.
select {?Pm-@Sorting}
case "property_type_desc ASC" :
{owned_property.property_type_desc}
case "property_type_desc DESC" :
{owned_property.property_type_desc}
default:
({owned_property.property_type_cd}; )
how can I change the sort order ascending and descending using the formula??
Thanks, Jessica

Try this
1. Create a parameter with 2 default values in the picklist: Descending and Ascending.
NOTE:
In Crystal Reports version 5 or 6, it is not possible to have a pick a parameter value from a list. The user must enter a specific value, guided by the prompting text. For example : To Sort in Ascending order type A, to sort in Descending order type D.
u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Parameter', then click 'New'.
u2022 Type the name and prompting text for the parameter in the corresponding boxes.
u2022 In the 'Type' box, click 'String'.
u2022 Click 'Set Default'.
u2022 In the 'Value to add' box, type 'Descending' then click '>' to move it to the 'Default Values' list.
u2022 Repeat the above step for 'Ascending'.
u2022 Click 'OK', then click 'OK' again to return to the report.
2. Create 2 formulas based on the field you want to change the sort direction on:
u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Formula', then click 'New'.
u2022 Create this formula:
@Asc
If {?Parameter} = "Ascending" then
u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor. This brings you back to the Formula tab of the Insert Fields dialog box.
u2022 Click 'New' and create this formula:
@Des
If {?Parameter} = "Descending" then
u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor.
u2022 Click 'Close' to return to the report.
4. Sort the report based on these two formulas.
u2022 On the 'Report' menu, click 'Sort Records'.
u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Asc} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Ascending'.
u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Des} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Descending'.
u2022 Click 'OK' to return to the report.
Once you preview the report you will be prompted to select a parameter value, which will determine how the report is sorted.

Raghavendra

How do I change the sort order in the file picker?

Hi there,
I've recently hit a problem with the Save and Open dialogs in Mavericks. Some how I have changed the sort order within the Column View so that it sorts by modified date and no longer by name. Unfortunately I can't work out how that happened or how to get it back so that it sorts by Name.
Please could anyone help?

Normally, you click on this thing (shown below) and select the sorting preference.

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

How do I change the Sort order for Music Video's on the iPad

When I sync my music video's the appear in Track order in the video app and I cannot find how to change the sort order to 'by Artist' (or any other order come to that).
Any ideas please>

How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
Thanks

The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

Function module to change the date format

hi guys
is there any function module to change the date format
from 08/28/2007(mm/dd/yyyy)
to August 28, 2007.
regards
vamsi

hi vamsi.,
Use CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_OUTPUT to get the month name,
but it will give short form of the month name.
if you want long description of the month,
use this peice of code.
PARAMETERS: V_DATUM(07) TYPE C. "(example input:12-2007)
DATA: V_MON(2) TYPE C,
 V_YEAR(4) TYPE C,
 V_MONTHNAME(10) TYPE C,
 V_FULLDATE(30) type c.
WRITE V_DATUM+0(2) TO V_MON.
SELECT SINGLE LTX FROM T247 INTO V_MONTHNAME
WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU
 AND MNR = V_MON.
CONCATENATE V_MONTHNAME v_datum+3(4)
 INTO V_FULLDATE SEPARATED BY SPACE. "(example output : December 2007)
 write: v_fulldate.
