How to implement Dynamic Sort to an SQL classic report?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to implement dynamic sort to my working sql classic report, when user selects order by column from select item(action as submit page), the report should be refreshed and display with the selected column sort order.
But not able to do so.
Report Query:
Select a, b, c from sample order by :P1_ORDER_BY
P1_ORDER_BY - Select Item:
STATIC2: Column 1;a, Column 2;b, Column 3;c
Running page, report doesnt sorts in any of the column priority.
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Krishna

Answer 1

Of course the select item is in use.
It should submit the the page on select so you can retrieve the current value in you report select statement.
look here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=21296:2:
table:
create table sample
  a varchar2(30)
, b varchar2(30)
, c varchar2(30)
insert into sample values('a','z','k');
insert into sample values('b','y','d');
insert into sample values('c','x','a');
insert into sample values('d','w','b');
commit;
Select List:
P2_ORDER_BY
STATIC:Order by A;A,Order by B;B,Order by C;C
Report select:
select
a,b,c
from sample
order by
  decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'A',a,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'B',b,null)
, decode(:P2_ORDER_BY,'C',c,null)Marc
