How to sort lists

Having just bought my first Mac I find that simple steps like sorting a list don't work the same way as on my Windows XP PC (right click on mouse). Can anyone tell me how to sort a list such as my (imported) favourites?

How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

iTunes doesn't display the filename or filepath as a column so you can't sort on it. I could write a script to copy the filepath into the Sort Name field so that sorting by name would sort by filepath. Would that help? In normal circumstances however filepath order would be the same as Album by Artist, so I'm not sure what you would gain. Perhaps there is another way to approach whatever problem you think sorting by filename would solve.

How to sort on MULTIPLE Keys which are elements of VO's stored in list

How to sort on MULTIPLE Keys which are elements of VO's stored in a list.. without disturbing the ordering done by previous sorting...?
Is there any best soln for the same...
Thanks..

How to sort on MULTIPLE Keys which are elements of
VO's stored in a list.. without disturbing the
ordering done by previous sorting...?Do you mean you want to do a heirarchical sort? Where the secondary key is only used when the primary keys are equal etc.? That's pretty trivial. If the primary keys are equal, check the secondary key. How do you sort words in alphabetical order? It's the same process.

How to sort a list of strings, without methods and stuff just simple code?

Hi
How to sort a list of strings, without methods and stuff just simple code?
Thanks in adavance!!

Without methods? How are you going to all the sort code? What is the point of code?
Collections.sort(List) will sort strings or anything that implements the Comparable interface, or you can use the sort method that takes a Comparator implemenation.
If you want "just code", you could either get the Collections class souce and follow it to the code. But otherwise, there isn't one set of code. There are various sorting algorithms with advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you'd be better off searching for sorting algorithms and if you understand them, it should be simple to write Java implementations of them.

How to sort file list by time

I have saved many PDF files from my mails - when I want to open (Adobe Reader on Samsung tablet) the file last saved I have no possibility find it simply by sorting file list by time - (list is fixed by name only) - how to change list order?.

Sorting by time could be based on documents'
(a) Date/Time created
(b) Date/Time modified
(c) Date/Time last opened / accessed
Adobe Reader for Android shows (c) in Recents.
(Click the image above to enlarge)
The last opened PDF document appears at the top. Please note that it is not customizable - meaning that you (as a user) cannot change the sorting criteria.

How to get sublists off a sorted list

I'm using Arrays.sort(Object[], Comparator) to help sort some
of my objects. However, I now have a need to create sublists
off of a sorted list
For example when I sort by last name ...
SubList1: Clark, Stanley
SubList1: Goodyear, Nancy
Goodyear, Elvis
Are there any Java APIs or some other techniques available to
do this?
I was thinking of using a Observer/Observable interface to notify
a change in comparison key which could then be used to create
sublists.
Thanks in advance

How to sort the data in JSP using stylesheet sorting?

Hi, i extracted data out in and display them <%=data%> in the jsp, but how to sort? do i have to provide a drop down list that gives different sorting options, and when user clicks on one option, say sort by title, the collection of results are sorted out on the same jsp page? so all in all, only one jsp page is needed or do i need to create xml files, etc?
i have no idea how to integrate the xml sorting into the jsp page, even after seeing online help, cos there is no example of a jsp page with sorting to refer to. PLease help, thanks alot!

im getting the data from beans, but one of the requirements was that i cant use the database to sort and display but i have to use xslt to do the sorting in the jsps, so i have no idea how to do so. possible to give an example? thanks

could u plz explalin clearly with comments
and code

Hi
Add this to your alv reporting
Add Default Sorting to ALVgrid report
In order to display an ALV report with specific columns already sorted by default you will need to build a
sort catalogue. This is fairly straight forward and is done in the following way:
        Step 1. Add data declaration for sort catalogue
        Step 2. Add code to build sort catalogue table
        Step 3. Update 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM call to include parameter 'it_sort'
ALV data declarations
data: it_sortcat   type slis_sortinfo_alv occurs 1,
        wa_sort like line of it_sortcat.
perform build_sortcat.
*&      Form build_sortcat
      Build Sort catalog
FORM build_sortcat .
wa_sort-spos      = 1.
wa_sort-fieldname = 'EBELN'.
gd_sortcat-tabname
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sortcat.
wa_sort-spos      = 2.
wa_sort-fieldname = 'EBELP'.
gd_sortcat-tabname
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sortcat.
ENDFORM.                    " build_sortcat
call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       exporting
            i_callback_program      = gd_repid
            i_callback_top_of_page   = 'TOP-OF-PAGE'
            is_layout               = gd_layout
            it_fieldcat             = fieldcatalog[]
            it_sort                 = it_sortcat
            i_save                  = 'X'
       tables
            t_outtab                = it_ekko
       exceptions
            program_error           = 1
            others                  = 2.

How to Sort JTable data using Multiple fields (Date, time and string)

I have to fill the JTable data with some date, time and string values. for example my table data looks like this:
"1998/12/14","15:14:38","Unicorn1","row1"
"1998/12/14","15:14:39","Unicorn2","row2"
"1998/12/14","15:14:40","Unicorn4","row3"
"1998/12/17","12:14:12","Unicorn4","row6"
Now the Sorted Table should be in the following way:
"1998/12/17","12:14:12","Unicorn4","row6"
"1998/12/14","15:14:40","Unicorn4","row3"
"1998/12/14","15:14:39","Unicorn2","row2"
"1998/12/14","15:14:38","Unicorn1","row1"
ie First Date field should be sorted, if 2 date fields are same then sort based on time. if date and time fields are same then need to be sorted on String field.
So if any one worked on this please throw some light on how to proceed. I know how to sort based on single column.
But now i need to sort on multiple columns.So what is code change in the Comparater class.
Thanks in advance.. This is urgent....

I think your Schedule objects should implement Comparable. Then you can sort your linked list using the Collections.sort() method without passing in a Comparator.class Schedule(Date date, String class) implements Comparable
public void compareTo(Object obj)
Schedule other = (Schedule)obj;
return date.getTime() - other.getDate().getTime();
}

How to I list the e-mail addresses in my contacts group? Mine seem to go to only the first address.

How do I list the e-mail addresses in my contacts group? It seems to go only to the first address.

Hi ozziejack123,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The individual contacts are sorted first within the Contact application. When you create a group in Contacts, the individual names in the group should keep the same sorting order. Try resetting the name order for all contacts.
Contacts (Mavericks): List contacts by first or last name
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15091
Choose whether contacts’ first or last names are listed first, and whether they’re sorted by first or last name.
Change the name order for all contacts
Choose Contacts > Preferences, then click General.
Select an option next to “Show first name.”
Sort contacts
Choose Contacts > Preferences, then click General.
Use the Sort By menu to choose how to sort.
I hope this information helps ....

Two sorted lists after adding a new contact

I got a new N73 (actually by Softbank Japan 705NK, language set to English), synchronized it to Outlook, so I had a couple of contacts in the contact list of my phone. They were all correctly sorted.
When I now added new contacts to the phone (not via Outlook, but directly inside the phone), I got a second sorted contact list before the existing one, i.e. all new contacts are not automatically inserted into the existing list of contacts, but a second list of contacts (which is sorted again) is generated. So now I have two sorted lists followed by each other, first the contacts inserted via the phone, second the contacts synchronized via Outlook/Nokia PC Suite.
Did anyone experience this problem? How can I get one sorted list instead of two lists?

My thinking about deleting from the phone after synch-ing the contacts to Outlook was indeed that if you don't remove them, the synch won't see any reason to update them on the phone.
Your point about sync deleting them is a good one, which is one reason I thought you might have to remove all contacts from the phone before synching back.
Either way, I'd take a backup before you try anything

S_ALR_87012176 - AR, Customer Evaluation with OI Sorted List

Hi,
Can someone tell how to read S_ALR_87012176 - Customer Evaluation with OI Sorted List in AR. What do the old, ovd and omt mean.
Thanks,
Ram

This is a standard report.
Enter the Customer range and Company Code.
You can change the open item at key date forward, back or keep it as today.
You then need to make any other selections.
In terms of the output it is determined by the summarization levels. use the Information icon "I" to see the settings.
Lastly you can change the bucket view by changing the days overdue groupings.
Here is the information:
The program displays the following payment history information:
Sales figures such as annual sales and authorized deductions. This data is available in the system and only issued by this program.
Information on whether the customer is a net payer or a cash discount payer. This information is displayed in the field "Type".
The type of payer is determined by means of the payment volume:
A net payer is a customer who usually exhausts the payment term and does not take any cash discounts.
A cash discount payer is a customer who usually makes use of the cash discount deduction.
Days in arrears. The average days in arrears are determined as follows:
For each of the last five periods in which payments took place, the payment amount from each period is multiplied by the average days in arrears from each period. The results are added together and then divided by the total of the payments from the periods.
The days in arrears are thus weighted with the payment amount.
Last payment period. The period and the year (for example, 5 93) are displayed.
In addition to analyzing payment history, this program evaluates customer open items. It structures the items it selects using a time schedule that you can define as you like, and displays them according to business area.
The criteria you can choose for this analysis are as follows:
Aging schedule for open items by due date for net payment
Displayed next to "Net"
Calculation: Due date for net payment - key date
Due date forecast using the first cash discount days
Displayed next to "Dsc"
Calculation: Baseline date for payment + cash discount days 1 - key                                                                   date
Probability of payment based on the weighted incoming payments in the past
Displayed next to "Pay"
Calculation: Baseline date for pmnt + cash disc.days 1 + average days                                                            in arrears
Days overdue of items that are due
Displayed next to "Ovd"
Calculation: Key date - due date for net payment
Examples of the open item analysis
The item used in these examples contains the following data:
Document date   04/01/1992
Baseline date for payment   04/05/1992
Terms of payment   8 days 5% / 14 days 2% / 21 days net
Key date   04/15/1992
The due date for net payment of this item is determined as follows:
Baseline date for payment + net days
The sorted list for this item would appear as follows:
The (*) indicates in which column in the sorted list the item would appear for the different evaluations.
Due date for net payment
Due date for net payment - key date = number of days until the due                                        date for net payment

Explanation of column 1:
Items displayed in this column are open but not yet due.
Explanation of column 6:
Items displayed here have been overdue for 41 or more days.
Note
The analysis types "Net", "Dsc", "Pay" are a future time frame for forecasting incoming payments. "Ovd" is the time frame for the past for analyzing overdue items.
To estimate the probability of incoming payments, you should always request a sorted list by due date, cash discount days 1, and incoming payments forecast. Normally, the cash discount days 1 due date shows the earliest incoming payment, the latest due date and for the forecast of incoming payments the probable time of the incoming payment.

Getting a non sorted list of members

I am trying to copy data from one set of products to another for 2 entities. Entity1 uses Map1 products whilst Entity 2 uses Map2 My sample Product dimension structure is as follows:-
Product
|_ProdA
|_ProdB
|_ProdC
|_ProdE
|_ProdF
|_Map1
|_ProdA (shared)
|_ProdB (Shared)
|_ProdC (Shared)
|_Map2
|_ProdA (shared)
|_ProdF (shared)
|_ProdE (shared)
The mapping is defined by the position of the shared products in Map1 and Map2 eg Prod A maps to ProdA, Prod B maps to Prod F etc
I have used the MDSHIFT function but I cannot get an unsorted member list (@RELATIVE etc sorts the retrieved member list and also removes duplicates).
Is there another way to copy data from Map1 to Map2?
Thanks

i'm trying to generate a sorted list of integers but
there is a restriction that these sorted randomed
generated integers must be uniformaly distribued
within the range of numbers needed for example (1
-1000)??does any body know how can we generate random
numbers and at the same time sorted with uniform
distribution??
i have thought about an idea like starting from 1 for
example and and then let the difference between each
two numbers is random within 1 to 10 then adding this
random integer to the last number generated and soo
on .. but i don't feel it is efficient as maybe the
random difference would be 1 each time . so i will
never get a uniformly sorted list .. any ideas or
suggestions ,please??My guess is that you generate the numbers first, then sort them. If you use the pseudorandom number generator, Random, will generate numbers with a roughly uniform distribution. You have to do some work to it if you want some other type of distribution.
