Group by descending

Hi.
Is it possible to use the CLAUSE GROUP BY, with desc option ?
select A,B,C
from TABLE
GROUP BY A,B,C DESC
Is it possible ?
Anybody, has any idea ?
Thanks in advanced

Be careful of relying on the GROUP BY clause to do your ORDER BY -- although GROUP BY will mostly give you the same effect as ORDER BY ASC there are many cases where it won't, in particular where parallel query and partitioning are involved.

How to trace an 'order by' issue?

I'm working with Report Builder 6.0.8.25.0. I have a report that prints lines on a quote. The report is supposed to order by the line_id in one of the tables involved. The problem is that sometimes it sorts in ascending and sometimes in descending order. I can see the bad sort in the report previewer and after moving the report to the server and running it through the Sales Online module in 11.5.9.
I have spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out where the bad sort is coming from but have thus far failed to identify the culprit.
Is there a way to trace the report while it's running in the report previewer to identify what forces are acting on the sort?

Hi Tracy,
the column attribute >>group by<< take precedence of the >>order by<< in the sql statement when you have more than one group in data model and the group is a control group.
1. Example:
a. SELECT deptno, ename ORDER BY deptno ASCENDING;
b. deptno + ename are both in group --> Group_1
c. depotno --> column attribute >>group by<< = DESCENDING
d. DESCENDING has no effect!
Deptno Ename
10---- JAMES
10---- TURNER
10---- ALLEN
10---- BLAKE
20---- SMITH
20---- ADAMS
20---- JONES
30---- MILLER
30---- CLARK
30---- KING
2. Example:
a. SELECT car_no, colour_no FROM cars ORDER BY cars_no ASCENDING;
b. Group_1 --> car_no --> attribute >>group by<< --> DESCENDING
c. Group_2 --> colour_no --> attribute >>group by<< --> ASCENDING
d. b. having priority of b.
e. c. has no effect!
car_no colour_no
51450- 4
51450- 3
51450- 2
51450- 1
26337- 4
26337- 3
26337- 2
26337- 1
8021-- 4
8021-- 3
8021-- 2
8021-- 1
Now, when you would like to see colour_no in an ASCENDING order, you must change the order by clause in your sql statement as follows:
SELECT car_no, colour_no FROM cars ORDER BY colour_no ASCENDING;
car_no colour_no
51450- 1
51450- 2
51450- 3
51450- 4
26337- 1
26337- 2
26337- 3
26337- 4
8021-- 1
8021-- 2
8021-- 3
8021-- 4
Know, that the arrows to the left of the column only belongs to the attribute changes. It do not show you the ORDER BY sequence of the sql statement.

How can I sort using a secondary characteristic structure?

Hello -
We have started using chracteristic structures in Query Designer 7.0 to group materials/customers for reporting. Our users love it except that I can't find a way to allow them to sort by a key figure (in a regular column structure) within the characteristic row structure.
Here's an example.
Net Sales is the Key Figure in the Column Structure.
Key Customers / Groups is the structure in the rows. There are selections build for each customer group with indidual customers assigned to each group within the structure.
The users need to sort the individual customers within each customer group in descending order by Net Sales.
There's no sorting icon available for the key figure column.
If you try to sort in the key figure properties, it doesn't work or says "not applicable".
I've tried creating a condition with 100% but that doesn't work either.
We are using BEx Analyzer 7.0 but it doesn't appear to work with the Web Analyzer either.
Can anyone provide any type of "trick" to accomplish this requirement?
Thank you for your help.
Ann
Key Customers / Groups Net Sales
Customer Group A (selection)
Customer 1
Customer 2
Customer Group B (selection)
Customer 3
Customer 4
Customer 5
Customer Group C (selection)
Customer 6
Customer 7
Customer 8

Hi,
i think i´ve builded up something similar within a workbook. You just need two querys, one workbook, some standard excel functionality and a makro for sorting the data at the end. I think this should be less work than building a worksheet for every sub group.
The first query will only select the upper elements of the structure (in your example: "customer group") . The second query will select the complete structure like you´ve builded it originally. The first query needs a ranking key figure. (you can do it by the excel ranking function or BW function, depends on how building that query). Now you put the ranking key figure behind the second query by the excel function "v-lookup". Then you add a second column behind the second query with a excel-ranking funktion for the key figure of the second query which should be sorted. At least you add a third column which identifies the kind of characteristic structure element (for example by if-then function on the key: 1= customer group 0=customer).
Then you´ll have only to sort the complete second query by those three new columns ´- in best case by a makro - and thats it.
Hope i could help you with that.
Greetings,
Olaf

i want the rows with acatg_type = 'I' to be displayed first.
Sorry for not attaching the complete SQL, but no issues if at all required, i can do that as well.
Since its a long in-line view created SQL. thought the solution might come out showing this much part only.
i am using Report 6i on 10g.
Please help me.

Thanks Arif,,
Grouping/Break i need to be done with EXPN_CATG-within-ACATG_TYPE.
if you can view the my report image links, u'll understand much better.
EXPN_CODE is not part of the Group Fields.
Still i tried re-arranging Group fields, but still the same..
Row with ACATG_TYPE = 'I' is not moving up.
Please suggest..

Can I turn off grouping by date in Finder and also 'Arrange by' and 'Sort by' in ascending and descending order?

I am trying to arrange my photostream saved search (which doesn't update automatically after I did the search for the first time which is very annoying) but finder won't let me arrange in ascending order of date (i.e.: oldest to newest). Is there a way I can do this or will my folder arrangements always be the one way without the option to change it to the opposite arrangement (same for alphabetical). Also, Finder automatically arranges my photos into groups of dates (e.g.: 'previous 30 days', 'September'). Is there any way I can turn this off?
Also if anyone can fix this stupid photostream issue for me that would be great!
thanks very much

Even in list view, the photos are grouped by previous seven days, previous 30 days, October, and so on.. there is no option i see that will let me change to order by date modified without these groupings or to just turn these groupings off altogether
but thank you for your reply

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Grouping?

Can anyone help me make an Applescript (or it may need to be two) that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and set track Grouping ID3 field to 'singles', then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, set track Grouping ID3 field to 'albums', then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).

bump for more help?

Sorting and Grouping in Projects View

In Projects view, when either of two of the three grouping options is selected, there are two sorts in effect: the groups themselves are sorted, and the contents of each group are sorted. These sorts are handled differently, depending on the grouping selected and the sort order selected.
(It appears that there is a bit of the old Apple voodoo in here. The results are arbitrary , but they seem to have been carefully chosen to meet most users expectations. That is to say -- and this is an Apple programming trait -- the arbitrariness is faithful to the expected users' needs, not to logic.)
There are four sorts available, and three groupings
Sorts:
. Name
. Date -- Oldest First
. Date -- Newest First
. Library
Groupings:
. Ungrouped
. Group by year
. Group by folder
So that's twelve possible ways to display Projects in Projects view.
Let's look at a few of them. I'm going to refer to the groups as "Year groups" or "Folder groups" and to the contents of the groups as "Projects". So there is sorting of the groups, and sorting of the contents of the groups (same as "within the group"). These I'll refer to as "Groups sorting" and "Projects sorting".
Sort: Date -- Newest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Date -- Oldest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Results are as expected; a reversal of the "Newest First" sort, but with the same groups: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are sorted alphabetically, descending.
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. (Note that this last is literal: a Project named "Aardvark Close-ups" if it's in a Folder named "Zoography" will be listed after all the projects in "Yellow Paintings" and all the Projects in "X-rays, thoracic" if those Projects are in alphabetical order by Folder name in the Library. You can see all the Projects in your Library listed on the Library tab of the Inspector by "{Option}+clicking" the disclosure triangle next to "PROJECTS & ALBUMS" twice.)
Sort: Date - Newest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, newest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder.
Sort: Date - Oldest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, oldest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector (see note above). Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are listed in the order they appear in the Library).

+I see those icons but note that those projects in folders will be in different sections arranged alpha, and then date within. Am I correct on that?+
The answer is, it depends.
If "Group by year" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be by date, regardless of the sort order specified. The Groups-sorting order will follow whatever is specified for the Projects sort order (or default to "oldest first").
If "Group by folder" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be alphabetical, descending, regardless of the sort order specified. (So if you use Projects view, take care in naming your Folders. Use prefixes if needed to force a desired alpha sort.)
If "Ungrouped" is selected, there are no Groups and perforce no Groups-sorting.
That's all I have to say on this topic (today).

How to show employee names in descending order but 3rd row is fixed and always top on the table ?

how to show employee names in descending order but 3rd row is fixed and always top on the table ?
for example employee names is A,B,C, D, E
and output is C,E,D,B,A

Since you are posting in the design forum, the short answer is - you don't. Rows in a table have no inherent order that you can rely on and the "position" of rows is a visual characteristic that should be implemented by the application that displays
this information or by the query that is used to generate the resultset.
So the next question is how one accomplishes this particular order within a select statement. That is a tsql question which, for future reference, is best posted to the tsql forum. In addition, many of the questions or issues that you will face
have been discussed in the forums - often many, many times. The first thing you should do when faced with an issue is to simply search the forums and leverage the the knowledge that has already been discussed. In doing so you are quite likely to
see suggestions or related issues that you should consider in your search for a solution.
Now, to answer the question - you need to formulate a order by clause that forces the rows to be sorted in the manner you desire. Effectively you have 2 levels of sorting. The first level divides your rows into 2 groups. Group 1 consists
of rows where name = E and Group 2 is everything else. Following that you then need to sort the rows in each group by name in descending order. Something like:
order by case name when E then 1 else 2 end, name desc

How to compare consecutive groups of numbers in arrays

Hi
I require to place the solution into a 1D array.
I need to compare two arrays and save the same numbers that are in both arrays but also save groups of numbers that may be in only one of the two arrays being compared.
In the example l have not been able to place all consecutive groups of numbers 8,9,10,11,12 into a 1D array.
In the example l need to filter out the zeros and the number four.
The numbers in both arrays are always in descending order however may not be in the order of index number of array. That is 15 = 15 index number
A consecutive group of numbers in this example is a group that increase by a value of 1. E.g.. 8,9,0,22,23,24 are two consecutive groups of numbers.
Thank you
Solved!

Compare numbers and consecutive numbers in arrays.vi ‏17 KB

Hi Lynn
I did have a look at the consecutive array solution. I have looked and looked l thought l knew how it worked but after a number of separate evaluations with other code l have failed. I am just glad it works. With the consecutive array solution l tried today my own code but l lost either the first number of the last number of a consecutive group of numbers.
I may have confused you but in doing so you have provided a real different view which l am very grateful. You have viewed the consecutive number problem as just a single 1D array problem. By doing this you have opened my eyes to another way to do the job and a way to handle this type of data. However l am also comparing two arrays. For example l have to pick up say two equal values in two columns that the consecutive array does not detect and then correctly locate a value in the final array if the value is not in the final array.
What l have not told you is also l have to be able to identify groups of numbers in two 1D arrays. E.g... Array 1 has 1,2,9,10 next array has 9,10 the final array ends up 9,10 when l would like 0,9,10. When viewing numbers by rows later on l can then detect with a array length vi the length of the 1,2 groups of numbers over a large number of columns. If 9,10 jumps to the front it becomes a wrong length. This is actually my main problem which has caused me a large amount of extra programming. I have gone back to basics to see what l can do differently and you have provided the first clue with the consecutive array. I placed it in my main program today and it filtered a lot variable data which l could not remove without losing real data. The main data lost in your solution was the say 17 number in two columns which in an image is a horizontal line. I know what l have just provided you in this paragraph is all new information but it provides a background as to what l am up to. I am getting pixel data from a 2D array and comparing +1 index 1D array with a normal array. This way l can view the data of the next column to see if there is a pattern. I am actually trying to program an array as how humans view objects in images.
I will have another go at integrating your solution next week

Ideal way to report on Nested Groups and their Members - I can get the script to work if there's one group, but not if there is two or more

Hi All,
I like to keep track of Groups and Users added into our Domain Admins. Yes, it should always be minimal, but if I can have a daily report just to be certain, I'll sleep better.
The following works just fine if there is a single nested group. I cannot get it to work properly if there is more than one. I'm hoping you'll see what I'm missing.
Works fine:
$admins = get-adgroupmember "domain admins"
foreach($i in $admins){if($i.objectClass -eq "group"){ get-adgroupmember $i.samaccountname |foreach {New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $($i.name)}} | select username,group | export-csv c:\Users_and_Groups.csv -Notypeinformation}}
Does not work well. Result is that the "Group" information doesn't change to the correct group:
$myCol=@()
foreach($admin in $admins){if($admin.objectClass -eq "group"){$myCol+=$admin.samaccountname}{foreach($i in $myCol){get-adgroupmember $i | foreach {New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $($admin.name)}} | select username,group
| export-csv c:\Users_and_Groups.csv -Notypeinformation}}}
Here is what I have in $myCol:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> $myCol
MarketingPSO
RMSysAdmins
I tried shortening up the one-liner a bit more, but for some reason the "RMSysAdmins" is the only Group listed even though Leia and Han are in the MarketingPSO Group:
foreach($i in $myCol){get-adgroupmember $i | foreach {New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $($admin.name)}} | select username,group }
username
Group
Leia Organa
RMSysAdmins
Han Solo
RMSysAdmins
c3po
RMSysAdmins
Darth Vader
RMSysAdmins
Boba Fett

To get nested group members, this script is for your reference:
function Get-ADNestedGroupMembers {
[cmdletbinding()]
param ( [String] $Group )
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Members = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group|sort-object objectClass -descending
$members | % {
if($_.ObjectClass -eq "group") {
Get-ADNestedGroupMembers -Group $_.samaccountname
} else {
New-Object PSObject -Property @{ username = $_.name;Group = $Group }}
Get-ADNestedGroupMembers "groupname"
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

Is this Oracle Reports bug – "break order property" in "group above" report

Is this Oracle Reports bug – “break order property” in "group above" report
Could anybody confirm that in "group above" report, we could only order the brake column's values with ""none" or "ascending" or "descending" provided by "break order property"?
In the following example, “Dept” is brake column. Oracle Reports allows us to order values in “Dept” with “descending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
or “ascending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
I need to do:
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Could I do this? Could anybody confirm that we could never ever do this, or If yes, how?
Millions of thanks for advice.
M.Z.

Why should that be a bug? You have a custom requirement and have to find a way to fulfill it. But, what is your actual sorting order? Do you have only this three departments? If so, you could add an addtional column in your query like
DECODE(DEPT, 20, 1, 10, 2, 30, 3, 4) SORTINGput that column in the same group as dept and sort after that new column.

Group Sort on formula field

I am using CR Professional 11.5 on Windows XP/Progress platform.
I have a formula field that calculates the GM% on the Employee Group Footer level and want to sort the employees in descending order by GM%. I have gone in circles trying to calculate this field differently in order to be able to perform a Group Sort but this GM% cannot be summarized, which would allow me to use the Group Sort Expert.
The fact that GM% is used in businesses world-wide each and every day makes this unbelievable that it should prove to be this difficult. Is there something that I am missing as a newbie to CR design?
Any help provided is greatly appreciated!

That's so awesome! If only I knew how to use sql commands! Everytime I try to create one it has errors that I dont' understand. Do you know of a site for sql syntax that might help me to do this? I have looked and can't find what I need to make this happen.
So what I need to do is to use 'Formula Workshop' and create a new SQL Expression Field? Using the formula above, how would this look in SQL?
Thank you so much for your help...I am so grateful!!! I have been working on this for months and keep hitting this snag. I first started out using a cross-table and got confused because you can't summarize the GM% so I then changed the summary to 'weighted average of GM% with Tech/Rev' so that helped, but the Total per Employee has been keeping me stumped.
Thanks again.

Marker Won't Display When Y Axis in Descending Order

I'm using an RTF to create charts. I'm using bi-publisher desktop version 11.1.1 and have Office 10 loaded.
If I add markerDisplayed="true" to my line chart, the markers display on the line and in the legend. But, when I add
<Y1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="1" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="2" ascending="false" />
the markers disappear from the lines but stay in the legend.
For instance, this works (displays markers on lines and legend):
<Graph markerDisplayed="true" depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS"><LegendArea visible="true" /><LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'PERIOD'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'BRAND'))}"><RowLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/BRAND" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></RowLabels><ColLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="PERIOD" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/PERIOD" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></ColLabels><DataValues><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:variable name="G1" select="current-group()" /><RowData><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./PERIOD"><Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum($G1[(./PERIOD=current()/PERIOD)]/RANKING[.!=''])" /></Cell></xsl:for-each-group></RowData></xsl:for-each-group></DataValues></LocalGridData></Graph>
Add the code to sort the Y axis in descending order and start at 1, not o, and the markers disappear from the lines but still show up in the legend:
<Graph markerDisplayed="true" depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS"><LegendArea visible="true" /><Y1Axis axisMinAutoScaled="false" axisMinValue="1" majorTickStepAutomatic="false" majorTickStep="2" ascending="false" /><LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'PERIOD'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//G_2, 'BRAND'))}"><RowLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/BRAND" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></RowLabels><ColLabels><xsl:for-each-group select=".//G_2" group-by="PERIOD" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><Label><xsl:value-of select="current-group()/PERIOD" /></Label></xsl:for-each-group></ColLabels><DataValues><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./BRAND" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:variable name="G1" select="current-group()" /><RowData><xsl:for-each-group select="//G_2" group-by="./PERIOD"><Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum($G1[(./PERIOD=current()/PERIOD)]/RANKING[.!=''])" /></Cell></xsl:for-each-group></RowData></xsl:for-each-group></DataValues></LocalGridData></Graph>
I'm new to bi-pub so please excuse anything that might seem obviously right or wrong to you !

Column_name in user_ind_columns when descending??

When I create an indexe with a descending column, the value in user_ind_columns.column_name is not the actual column_name, it's something like SYS_NC00002$. I'm trying to build a Select statement to identify the columns in an index, whether ascending or descending. Everything is fine if ascending, but if descending I cannot figure out how to identify the actual column_name. What table should I be joining to?

Interesting. I notice from analyzing descending index that it appears to include NULL rows - I am not sure why, since B*Tree and FBI do not. Not sure whether that explains the difference times Laurent is getting for his range scan.
Can't think of a reason to use a descending index on a single column. Tom Kyte points out (in his book, available on Amazon etc. blah blah) that multi-column descending/ascending indexes can be used to sort queries with different sort orders on different columns (providing they match those of the index presumably).
Anyway, back to NULLs...
