Grouped by Month Name. How do I sort it correctly?

I have a report grouped by a field name that contains only the names of the month (ie. January, February, etc).
When displayed on the report, it'll sort the groups alphabetically (ie. April, then August, then December).
Is there any way to have these group be sorted in the actual month sequence?

Group on this formula:
month ()
This will group numerically 1 through 12.
Then simply DISPLAY the month name in your group header using this formula:
MONTHNAME ()

Icloud contacts sorted by business name, how can I sort by first name?

my icloud contacts are sorted by business name, but I want to sort by first name.

MONTHNAME ()

Sorting Month Name

Hie Guys,
I have a dimension object - "Month" with values - 1, 2, 3, 4 as of now as the current month is April. I have created a variable for the "Month Name".
The formula is given below.
If (Month = 1) Then "Jan"
Elseif (Month = 2) Then "Feb"
Elseif (Month = 3) Then "Mar"
Elseif (Month = 4) Then "Apr"
Elseif (Month = 5) Then "May"
And so on ......
Now, my report has a cross-tab showing monthly employee hours. When using the "Month" object, I am able to sort it in ascending (1,2,3,4) or descending order (4,3,2,1). But, when I use the "Month Name" object, the months are not in order. I sorted the object with custom sort, but, since there is only data till the current month, I am only able to get - Jan, Feb, Mar & Apr in the report. In this case, when data is available for the next month, I will have to rearrange the sorting order again. Could anyone please tell me what I need to do in order for the "Month Name" column to automatically sort in order as new Month data becomes available (i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec)? Thanks.

How do I sort by employee last name when grouped by employee id?

Hi,
The first Group is: Employee ID.
The second Group is: Employee Last Name.
I wish to sort the entire report by Employee Last Name; however, standard crystal reports sorting functionality doesn't present me with this ability. As a result, the report is sorted by Employee ID.
Can someone help me how to sort by Employee Last Name in this scenario?
thx,
Mark

Hi Mark,
When you create a Group in the report, Crystal reports automatically adds the grouped fields in the Sort list which unfortunately cannot be removed! You cannot change the priority of the sort fields too, and the only way of achieving this is by actually changing the group order. But it wouldn't help the purpose.
As a workaround, here's what you can do though:
1) Create a command object and provide a pre-sorted result set to Crystal Reports. In this situation you would probably create a command object like :
select Emp_ID, Last_Name from Emp order by Last_Name asc
2) Create the 2 groups in the report again. Open the 'Group Expert', click on the first group and then click 'Options'
3) The Sort order for this group would be 'in ascending order' by default. Change it to 'in original order'
4) Repeat the above step for the next group
This is the only way I know of sorting a report on another field.
Let me know how this goes!

How do I sort clips in the Project panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?

Two questions: How do I sort clip thumbnails in the Project Panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?
How do I "select" a group of 25 consecutive clips on the time line to form a group without having to click on each individual clip one at a time. The method in the Help menu about "alt" click does nothing for me.

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

How I can sort music files (audiobook) in music player on iPhone by file name, not by title name?

I have audiobook of abt.500 files, all titles are the name of the book. iPhone music player does not understand sorting by file names, but by title, hterfore it plays files chaotic. So, how I can sort audiobook files in music player by file name, not by title name?

I have the same problem.
I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices.

Problem of sorting month name in pivot table

Hello,
I have a month name that is sorted by month number in my repository.
When I select Year + month name + measure sorted by year then by month name and I look the result in a table, everything works perfectly but when I switch to a pivot table the sorting doesn't work : the pivot table sorts my month name in an alphabetical order instead of using the month number .... Is it normal ?
To find a solution, I have added my month number and I have sorted by year then by month number and I have hidden my column month number. This have solved my problem for the pivot table but if I attached a chart to it (by selecting "Chart Pivoted Results"), the label of the bottom axis contains the month number and the month name and I haven't found where I can hide this month number. Why the hidden option only works on the pivot table and not on the pivot chart ? And how I can do that ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No there is no Transient attribute involved , could you please tell me what might cause this error .
Basically this page is for inserting a record.
Thanks ,
Keerthi

How Do I Sort Events by Event File Name?

Hi All,
Searched the forums extensively and can't seem to find anything on point. I'm trying to sort my events in iMovie appropriately and it's a challenge. Some of my events are recent, imported digital videos. Others are old VHS videos from the 80s and 90s converted through video capture devices. Others are simple videos filmed through my point and shoot camera. Bottom line, they only have a digital tag based on two things: the date they were imported into iMovie (analog stuff brought in through video capture) or actual digital tags from a digital video recorder.
So they only way to really get these events sorted correctly is to name them in a conventional "year-month-day" naming convention and sort, just like other files.
My problem is that I can't get iMovie to sort this way even after I successfully rename EVERY event (and there's like 150 events at this point).
Any ideas? It seems simple. How do I sort events WITHIN the iMovie application by event name?
Thanks,
-Ben (San Antonio)

Did the trick! I'd love it if there were a bit more of an assembly line capability to this, as I needed to change the creation date for 154 clips, which involved attaching, adjusting, removing, attaching, adjusting, removing...
Lot's of mouse work is all.
BUT it did the trick!
Thanks,

How to show montha name starting from APR to MAR

Hi,
How to show financial year in report .
I.e
When i select month column in my report i need to get values starting from APR to till MAR. Can any one tell me how to show it.
APR,
MAY,
JUN,
JUL,
AUG,
SEP,
OCT,
NOV,
DEC,
JAN,
FEB,
MAR

Hi,
Steps to achieve,
1. Go to analysis pull it out your month columns two times (let rename it month Id and month name)
2.) edit formula on month Id columns put it below contional statement
E.x:
Case when month name = 'January' then '1'
When month name ='February' then '2'
When case month name='November' then '11' Else '12' end
3.) Go to month name columns in your analysis criteria and edit formula here u just make it first 3 char of your month name columns by using left( month name, 3)
4 ) sort month name columns by using month id columns then hide month id columns it will work as you expected
Another solution:
First you need to add the function monthname in the column formula. This will give you month names.
Ex-MONTHNAME("Cal Date")
To sort, add bin or write case statements in other column and sort it.
Ex- case
when MONTHNAME("Cal Date")='Jan' then 1
when MONTHNAME("Cal Date")='Feb' then 2
end
Hope this help's
Thanks,

How can I sort files in a folder by name?

How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
Like:
A_file
B_file
a_file
b_file
I want:
A-file
a_file
B_file
b_file
This doesn't help:
String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);

Do I have to get all items in a folder and then sort them?
/Elin

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]_manual-backup

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

You can not - they are soreted by date
-- the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort -- I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

How do I sort by artist name on I tunes

how do I sort by artist name on I tunes

Sorry Chris - that doesn't work unless you want the albums all listed. What I found was so simple. In the view catagoryclick on "Show View Options" That brings up a whole table of things. At the top it says sort by and if you click on the arrow it brings up however you want it sorted - in my case by artist instead of by song.
Thanks anyway
