I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column)

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column) in NUMBERS

Numbers sorting follows a database model in which each row is a 'record' rather than a collection of unrelated data items. When a table is sorted, the integrity of the individual records (rows) is maintained.
If you need to sort a single column, that column (or its data) must be separated from the rest of the table.
That can be done using copy/paste (as described above by Wayne), or by taking the column to be sorted out of the table, dropping it on the sheet to form a new, single column table, doing the sort, then returning the column to the original table.
The 3 1/2 step process takes longer to describe than to do.

Barry

  • When sorting a column of alphanumerical, how do I get them to stay sorted?  When I go to the next column, the first column mixes up.

    How do I get a column of alphanumerical to stay sorted?  When I go to the next column, my first column gets mixed up.

    For my purpose, I'll have to go back to Excel.
    What is your purpose?  Note that Numbers 3.0 does not have a multicolumn sort interface the way you have in Excel (or Numbers 2.3). But it is generally easy to accomplish what you need to do.
    Say you have a column A on which you want an alphanumerical sort and within that you want to sort by B (the equivalent of Excel's "Sort by" A "Then by" B).
    First do a single column sort by B. Then do a single column sort by A.

  • Does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column.

    Hello
    I am new to winforms.
    I have a listview. I want it to toggle the sorting of the records of the listview when the columns are clicked
    Please guide me as to how to do the same.
    The code that I have attached does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column. I have to click a different column ten the previous column 
    The code is attached below
    regards

    private void SiteInChargeorSupervisor_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    this.listView1.ColumnClick += new ColumnClickEventHandler(listView1_ColumnClick);
    private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
    ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
    listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
    if (!(listView1.ListViewItemSorter is ListViewSorter))
    return;
    Sorter = (ListViewSorter)listView1.ListViewItemSorter;
    if (Sorter.LastSort == e.Column)
    if (listView1.Sorting == System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending)
    listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Descending;
    else
    listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending;
    else
    listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Descending;
    Sorter.ByColumn = e.Column;
    listView1.Sort();
    public class ListViewSorter : System.Collections.IComparer
    public int Compare(object o1, object o2)
    if (!(o1 is ListViewItem))
    return (0);
    if (!(o2 is ListViewItem))
    return (0);
    ListViewItem lvi1 = (ListViewItem)o2;
    string str1 = lvi1.SubItems[ByColumn].Text;
    ListViewItem lvi2 = (ListViewItem)o1;
    string str2 = lvi2.SubItems[ByColumn].Text;
    int result;
    if (lvi1.ListView.Sorting == System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending)
    result = String.Compare(str1, str2);
    else
    result = String.Compare(str2, str1);
    LastSort = ByColumn;
    return (result);
    public int ByColumn
    get { return Column; }
    set { Column = value; }
    int Column = 0;
    public int LastSort
    get { return LastColumn; }
    set { LastColumn = value; }
    int LastColumn = 0;

    Every time through the ColumnClick event handler, you are creating a new sorter. This means that any values set in the sorter from the previous click are not saved.
    Try this.
    private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
    // Only create a new sorter if we don't have one already.
    if(listView1.ListViewItemSorter == null)
    ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
    listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
    // And so on with the rest of your code.

  • How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?

    How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?
    It was very simple to do in the previou version of pages.

    I'm not sure why people are torturing themselves with Pages 5 given the nearly universal outcry on this forum and the incredibly negative reviews elswhere, such as the App Store.
    Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder.  Just use that.

  • After the latest update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column - how do you get to where you can pick

    After the latest itunes update I can no longer see my iPhone listed on the left column. How can I get to the section where I can pick & choose apps etc to be synced?
    Also I had to get a new iPhone & so I backed up the night before to the cloud & my computer. When I tried to restore from back up with the new phone my back up wasn't there - shouldn't it be automatic via wifi from the cloud?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Your iphone is shown at the top of the page.
    You can also simply click View>Show Sidebar and it will look about the same as it did before.

  • How can i select the next column instead of next row when press enter key

    I need to know how can i select the next column instead of next row when i press the enter key.By default ,when i press enter key the next row is selected and the column remain unchanged but I wants opposite that is the row should remain unchanged but column index will changed.
    Thanks to all.

    Well, the right arrow key will already move you to the next column, so the easiest way to do this is to modify the InputMap to have the Enter key invoke the same Action as the right arrow key.
    You can search the forum for my "Table Actions" (without the space) example that will show you how to do this.

  • System only loading the first column from csv

    Trying to load data from Excel saved as csv, but the preview and PSA shows data loaded only for the first column from the csv file. All other columns are not loaded from the csv. Changed the lengths of the fields from the datasource to match the ones in the csv to 8, but it only seems to load the first column. What could be the cause?

  • Want TV guide so can mark hrs ahead favorite ahead shows,&ignore the rest.

    I don't know where else to post this question, so here goes:
    Want online TV guide so can mark hrs ahead favorite ahead shows,&ignore the rest.
    Oh, and I mean for antenna broadcast tv. Not for cable or satellite, can't afford that.
    Is there such an online site or application for Mac, Firefox.
    Want to be able to look over a TV schedule and click on the shows interested in for the hours ahead and not have to bother even seeing (much less having to re-read) again the shows we have no interest in.
    I would like the shows I do not mark to just disappear from the schedule and see them no more that day and evening.
    Less clutter, much simpler, and a lot less re-reading.
    So frustrating to have to skim down the column for each hour and look at all those shows channels I've already looked at and know I have no interest in.
    I know, I should be able to remember (naahhhh), or write them down (naahhh). The mac is supposed to do all our work and thinkin for us these days.
    Hasn't some bright bulb already solved this problem for millions of viewerrs? Made such an online tv guide website, invented sucha application?
    I have been using zap2it, but it does not have any sucha feature.
    I have Mac, Snow Leopard, and using Firefox.
    Don't think I won't thank you, cuz
    I will.

  • How to keep showing items created in current month for 5more days only in the next month by OOB functionality only

    Hi,
    I have a Time Reporting site where users log in their time twice a month.This site uses only Out Of Box functionality. There is no scope for coding in my site.
    In the list i have created a view which shows the Time Report of the user logged in for the current month only.
    There is a new requirement : Current month's Time Report should be visible to the users in the next month for 5 starting days of the month only so that users can edit this month's Time Report in the next month's 1st 5days incase they forget to edit it in
    the current month.
    e.g: If i am absent on the last day of the month , my time report for this month(March) should be visible for 5 days in April so that i can stiil edit March's time report. However after 5days the Time Report for March should not be visible. After 5days only
    April's time report will be visible when submitted(April's time report).
    Please can anybody help me out with this.
    Regards ,
    Guru

    Hi Guru, you have a couple of options: 1) set a retention schedule through the list's settings> Information Management Policy Settings. Where the start date < start date + 35.
    2) create a view and filter by the date like above.
    These aren't perfect scenarios, but will get you close to what you want.

  • How to get the column index of the selected column

    Hi All,
    I have a dynamically populated advanceddatagrid. Iam trying to edit any column of a particular row. In my as file im able to get the row index using selecteditem property. But I need to get the column Index and the updated value of the column to be passed from the as file to the java method.
    So that I can update the DB with the updated value. Can somebody help with a sample code.

    ...then index 0 becomes index 1 and my program doesn't work properlyThe program works properly, just not as you expect it to.
    As you've noticed the table gives you the flexibility to move columns around. So if you move column 0 to column 1, why would you expect to still use 0 as the index? The table manages the reordering of columns for you to make sure the data being displayed in each table column comes from the correct column in the data model.
    You can manage this yourself using one of the following methods (I forget which one):
    table.convertColumnIndexToModel(int viewColumnIndex)
    table.convertColumnIndexToView(int modelColumnIndex)
    Or, you can get data from the data model directly:
    table.getModel().getValueAt(row, 0);

  • The approver role is only valid the next day

    All the approvers which are created are only valid the next day. Requesters can only select the new approvers the day after they have been created.
    Any idea how to make an approver valid the same day?

    Hi,
    In user validity make sure you are entering the next day as the valid from. If you have already integrated the user, the validity of the user will be good from the next day.
    In the integreation of user, use the position validity and restrict via date.
    Hope this helps.
