How to change sorting behavior in column view in Lion Finder?

I love the ability to sort in column view in OS X 10.7. However, when I switch to column view and let sort by label, the Finder displays a strange behavior: The files are grouped by label, but in the order of lee to more. It does not seem possible to display according to the label order set in the Finder prefs.
This is somewhat irritating. Is there a way to change this can make it consistent to the label order?
The label order in the Finder was set to "Prio A", then "Prio B" and so forth.

If I set it to "Arrange by", I get them sorted by file name, irrespective of the color.
If I change that in the View Options, I get them sorted according to label, but not in the label order of the Finder prefs.

Finder - changing sort order in column view

Anyone know a way to change the sort order when using the COLUMN view in Finder? It's defaulting to alpha and I'd like to change it so when I'm viewing a particular folder the contents are displayed by Date Modified like I can when using the other views.
THANKS!

Hi VFRJOEY,
there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

How do I sort data in columns using Pages

How do I sort data in columns (alphabetically) using Pages?

If you are referring to text or numbers in a column (not table), then get the free Service plug-in WordService, from Devon Technologies. Put it in the
/Users/yourlogin/Library/Services folder location.
Select your data to be sorted. From the Pages menu > Services > Sort Ascending will do the trick. This will work with Pages ’09 and Pages v5.2 or later, as well as Apple Mail, TextEdit, etc.
The WordService files include a PDF (Read Me) that describes the services included with the package.
The Service items will only appear in the Services submenu when you have selected your data prior to sort. If these WordService items do not appear in the Services menu as they should per the preceding sentence, then you will need to enable them.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services. Scroll through the right hand list of services until you encounter Sort Ascending and ensure that it is selected.
If you were referring to sorting a column of data in a table:
Pages ’09
Select all cells containing your unordered data. In the Table Inspector, under Edit Rows & Columns, choose Sort Ascending.
Pages v5.2
Select cells as before. In the Table heading (A, B, C, etc.) when you roll over the letter, a down-arrow appears. Click, and choose Sort Ascending from the drop down menu.

How to change sorting in column view in Maverick

I understand how to change the view and then "arrange by". In my columns, they list from oldest to newest. I don't see how to reverse that. I want newest on top. Also, how do I set the column width to what I want and save for all? I can adjust the column width, but it defautlts back to the narrow setting shortly after.

Excuse me my English. It is not my problem.
I need to ensure this thing:
When user click on any head of column in output table (table view) it must not call any event. All data must stay on same rows.
Example. A have table:
Col1        Col2
B           20
A           30
T           10
D           60
If I click on first head of column data will be sorted:
Col1        Col2
A           30
B           20
D           60
T           10
But if hierachy or structure are in first column rows cannot be changed.

How to disable sorting for some columns in a ALV GRID?

Hi i have requirement where I have to disable sorting for some columns in a ALV GRID. i am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY function module.
Can anybody help me. how to acieve this? Any code snippets will really be appreciated.

Hi,
I have tried this but not completely successful. I think this can be done using the OOPS method.
DATA: it_event_exit TYPE slis_t_event_exit.
DATA: w_exit TYPE slis_event_exit.
w_exit-ucomm = '&ODN'.
w_exit-before = 'X'.
CLEAR w_exit-after.
APPEND w_exit TO it_event_exit.
w_exit-ucomm = '&OUP'.
w_exit-before = 'X'.
CLEAR w_exit-after.
APPEND w_exit TO it_event_exit.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      i_callback_program          = w_repid
      i_callback_top_of_page      = 'ALV_TOP_OF_PAGE'
      i_callback_html_top_of_page = 'ALV_HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE'
      i_callback_user_command     = 'USER_COMMAND' <- User command form
      is_layout                   = wm_layout
      it_fieldcat                 = wt_fieldcat
      it_events                   = i_events
      it_event_exit               = it_event_exit    <- Need to fill
      it_sort                     = wt_sort
      i_default                   = 'X'
Now you can capture this events in the user command
FORM user_command USING r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
                         rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
IF r_ucomm = '&OUP' and rs_selfield-SEL_TAB_FIELD = 'Your field name'.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "user_command
In this form you will get the function code in 'r_ucomm' and the field selected for sorting in 'rs_selfield-SEL_TAB_FIELD'. But reseting 'r_ucomm' will not work.
May be somebody else can give some help on this.
But this will work if you follow the oop method.
Please see this document for more info.

How do I sort photos WITHIN folder view?

Okay, I'll admit, to me, Adobe has always been defined as "too many features and too confusing to me," but I'll give it a shot.
I looked through help, etc. and I have a seemingly simple question - how do I sort photos, new to old, WITHIN folder view of the browser? I don't WANT to show ALL my photos, just folder by folder, oldest to new, NOT by filename!
This is a simple right-click context menu in Paint Shop Pro, has been for many versions. Why can't I find how/where to do this in Photoshop Elements? It's the kind of thing that makes simpletons like me keep running away from complex Adobe products.
Help me, SOMEONE, through this seemingly simple task and... I'll be most appreciative.

>how do I sort photos, new to old, WITHIN folder view of the browser? I don't WANT to show ALL my photos, just folder by folder, oldest to new, NOT by filename!
Well since folders are not the primary method of using the Photo Browser in Elements, I don't think that folder view has everything that you want.
If you want to look at a single folder in this sequence you could use the Instant Tag function to apply the tag to all photos in that folder, then use a Tag search by clicking on the box to the left of the tag that is the folder name and then choose oldest first while displaying just the photo files from that folder. This may sound long, but it takes lees time to do than it takes to type a description.
