Is it possible to do sorting on multiple field inside a GROUP

Hi
I am wondering if it is possible to do a multiple sorting on multiple column/fields?
When I right click on Change Group on the report
on the "Change Group Options" window, it only has one field which allow you to sort in ascending/ descending order.
I notice that it also has another checkbox which called Use a formula as Group Sort order, I am not quite sure how to use it to sort multifield/column.
E.g.
I have a table which has 5 fields
I would like to sort it by TotalSpend, TotalEarned, Department, ...etc
I would be grateful, if you can show me how to do a group sorting for multi column/fields
Thanks in advance.

To Sastry,
Thanks for your information, unfortunately, I am using Crystal report XI.
To Sandra,
<<Yes, go into the Group expert and select them in the order in which you want them sorted>>
Do you mean create different group to do the sorting?
Could you show me how to create a formula which allow crystal report to do the sorting on multi-field.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to sort by multiple fields?

Is it possible to sort the music library by multiple fields in a prioritised order? For example, I would like to sort by the following columns, in the following order:
Album Artist
Album
Track Number
for some reason I can't seem to do this, sorting by Album artist alone is not working for me, as some CD's I've imported have featured artists and this breaksup the listing order.
Thanks

Thanks Thomas
Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me, cover flow still shows multiple instances of the same artwork for various groups of tracks from the same album.
The thing I don't understand is why sorting by the "sort album artist" field does not group all the tracks from an album together.
My specific example (I still can't get a screenshot posted):
I have two Gwen Stefani albums, both ripped from CD (not imported from the itunes store). both albums have a majority of track where Gwen is the only artist and two or three track with featured artists. I have filled the "album artist" and "sort album artist" tags to all read Gwen Stefani, however, if I sort by either of these columns (in cover flow mode), what I get is this:
all the tracks from one ablum where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then all the tracks from the other album where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then (in alphabetical order by featured artist) the remaining tracks from both albums - ie, the albums are mixed up
for each group of track I see an cover flow art work.
I should say that I have turned off the compilation tag on all of my albums because this ends up saving the file in a compilation folder, not in the artist folder on my hard drive - but it doesn't make a difference either way to the way I see the files sorted in itunes.
It's really frustrating!

Collections.sort() - sort on multiple fields?

I have a collection of objects in a List that I need to be able to sort on each field individually. For example, the data in the List is eventually displayed on a table in a web page. The user is able to click on a column header and the table is to be refreshed with the list contents sorted by that column (asc/desc).
I would rather not re-query the DB for this list (it's pretty static and already saved in memory). So if I use the Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator() { ...} ) method, is it possible for me to pass the field/direction of the sort into the Comparator? Or, do I have to define individual Comparators for every field that the user can sort by and surround it all by an ugly switch statement?

Honestly I think that a re-query to the DB is the best approach. Remember that any decent DB engine will cache queries so it will really only have to re-perform the sort algorithm.
Commercial databases are very fast and almost never the source of a performance bottleneck.
I realize this isn't the answer you want, but in my experience it is the best solution, if you really can't stand to re-query then as mentioned creating your own comparator is the way to go.

New to the product - question about validating multiple fields as a group

I have a static form that I'm building from a word document. Part of that form requires a person to fill any 3 out 5 text fields.
Since it looks like scripts are applied on a field by field basis, is it possible to have a script that encompasses multiple fields?
Would any script need to be applied to each field in turn?
Assuming the answer to question 1 is a yes, how would you script it to require x number of fields out of a total of y to have some sort of content in order to validate?
I'm pretty familiar with JavaScript and am looking at the Scripting reference guides but was hoping for a helping hand to get me there quicker as I'm in a bit of a time crunch - doing 18 forms with validation and database connectivity by January 15 certainly qualifies in my book.
I would assume you'd do something like this but am unsure of the syntax...
Get values of each field
Set a valid counter variable for the number of fields with content
If field 1 is not empty, increment the valid counter
(rinse and repeat)
if the valid counter is less than 3 throw an error message
Many thanks in advance for any help offiered

1). Yes, scripting within Livecycle can be for a single field or even static text, images and other artifacts within the PDF. Really anything, within Adobe's reason, when it comes to scripting.
2). It depends on what you want to do. Things like field validations, calculations and other instances where fields are tied togther really dictate how the script runs.
3). Fields that have calculations or validations with them work in the same, I believe. So for example I have a PDF that I made that is an Excel-type sheet that contains a few hundred cells and every single one has some type of validation or calculation associated with it. I generally run the calculations/validations from the user inputting the data and then after that the script runs, but again, it really dpeneds on what you are doing and with what, so answering some of your questions are a bit difficult.
Javascrip/Formcalc are wonderful tools within PDF, but don't forget the Action Builder (Tools -Action Builder). It is a set of preloaded actions that are turn-key. Just select the cells that will have the action and select the result you want from the preloaded list of actions, using those actions can get you very far, and most of all; they are quick to implement without researching code. So for example, you could use the Action Builder to create an action that checks certain fields and if they are null to return a 1 value to a specific numericField (these could be hidden). Then have a "total" numericField (this would be your counter) that adds all of those fields with the 1 in it. Then create another Action Builder for that "total" numericField and if it is less than 3, display a message box that is a warning.

Vector Sorting w/multiple fields

I've looked through some of the previous postings on sorting vectors. But most of what I've seen are solutions to vectors with objects which hold one string. But what if you have, say an identity object which holds a person's full name, address and zip? After storing each object in a vector, simply using ( Collections.sort( ) ) can't possibly work.
How would calling that method know whether you want to sort by first name, or last name or by zip?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thats why you need either a Comparator class you can use with the sort method to tell how to objects are compared, or implement Comparable in the class holding the persons name, address, etc.
Check the API for
java.util.Comparator
java.lang.Comparable

It's possible not change structure of existing report by adding group ?

Hello Everybody,
I have to create new group in a report already existed . But every time I do it in Graphical Data Model, when apply in Report Wizard, The report changes completely with the position of columns and even the style of the report is modified.
How I can avoid this fact ?
It's possible to don't have this changes when having new groups ?
Thanks in advance.

Then the manner of creating the repeating frame is only to draw it manually in layout ?Yes
Then my problem is it exceeds the limiit and it disrupts after.Which llimit you are talking about?
And Why when I create repeating frame, the column which I draw it developp and the others remain fixed ?You mean the new column you created you can move outside the frame? And the column you had before you can not move?
A hint while creating group repeating frame you will have to select all the objects and place it in the new created grouped repeating frame. Then create new fields inside that group repeating frame.

Dynamic SORT with multiple components

Hi all,
I want to sort an internal table in this way:
SORT itab BY (component).
This is not difficult if "component" contains the name of ONE column of itab. But - and here is my problem - how can I sort with multiple components?
Like this:
SORT itab BY (comp_1) (comp_2) ... (comp_N).
The number of components (N) shall be flexible. It is not possible to concatenate the components into one string-variable. This causes an error ITAB_ILLEGAL_COMPONENT.
Brillant would be a solution which also contains the sort-direction (ASCENDING or DESCENDING for each component like this:
SORT itab BY (comp_1) (dir_1)
(comp_2) (dir_2)
(comp_N) (dir_N).
Is there a way to do so?
Thanks for all hints!
Mathias

Hi Matahias ...
From ABAP help...
SORT itab.
Extras:
1. ... BY f1 f2 ... fn
2. ... ASCENDING
3. ... DESCENDING
4. ... AS TEXT
5. ... STABLE
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Field symbols not allowed as sort criterion.
Effect
The entries in the internal table are sorted in ascending order using the key from the table definition (DATA, TYPES).
Addition 1
... BY f1 f2 ... fn
Effect
Uses the sort key defined by the sub-fields f1, f2, ..., fn of the table itab instead of the table key. The fields can be of any type; even number fields and tables are allowed.
You can also specify the sort fields dynamically in the form (name). If name is blank at run time, the sort field is ignored. If itab is a table with a header line, you can also use a field symbol pointing to the header line of itab as a dynamic sort criterion. A field symbol that is not assigned is ignored. If a field symbol is assigned, but does not point to the header line of the internal table, a runtime error occurs.
If the line type of the internal table contains object reference variables as components, or the entire line type is a reference variable, you can use the attributes of the object to which a reference is pointing in a line as sort criteria (see Attributes of Objects as the Key of an Internal Table
You can address the entire line of an internal table as the key using the pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE. This is particularly relevant for tables with a non-structured line type when you want to address the whole line as the key of the table (see also Pseudocomponent TABLE_LINE With Internal Tables).
If you use one of the additions 2 to 5 before BY, it applies to all fields of the sort key by default. You can also specify these additions after each individual sort field f1, f2, ..., fn. For each key field, this defines an individual sort rule which overrides the default.
Cheers

Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

Hi
I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
Now by using the sort control i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
a) first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
b) then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
c) now sorts on the rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
Now other user may do
a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
b) then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
c) now user sorts on the region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
Please let me know if you require any information on the same.
Regards,
smitha

Hello,
   Good Day!
   Thanks for your answer.
   Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
   Do i need to create a static parameter?
   I get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
   i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like
    (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
    & " " & {@date}
   else
    IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
    " " &{@date}
   else
   IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
     " " &{@date})
    I could not understand what this formula is really doing .
    Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
              Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
              Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :- ??
             Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :- Filed names ??
             use of 1.{} :- ??
step3: place the below formula in the page header to display the sort order
    (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
in this case how the sort control will work ?
As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
The report is used by the whole organization ..
i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

smitha.

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();
}

Is it possible to have sorting by group and checkboxes in the same ALV

Hi there,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to have sorting and group on one field in ALV and checkboxes set on another field in ALV?
eg.
Fieldname
===========
Name----
Text
Allowance----
Numeric -> Sort & Group
Verified----
Checkbox
How do I code it if it is possible to have grouping and check box all in one ALV. Meaning I want some data that are the same to merge using sort, while still having the checkbox available for my other field (Verified).
Thanks in advance.

hi,
GROUP BY clause is used on database tables with select statement.
sort is used on internal tables.
can u clearly explain y u need group by and sort on the same field.
if u are extracting from dbtable using grou by clause on a field, then no need to sort it again.
if u want sort u can do it by giveing "sort itab by field". thats not a problem.
now coming to check box.instead of using SLIS type field catalog, u use LVC type.
in LVC_S_LAYO, u can fine box_fname.
while defining layout, u declare a variable of type LVC_S_LAYO
AND GIVE BOX_FNAME = internal table field name

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

Is it possible to stream music to multiple sets of speakers via airplay direct from iphone4s on ios7 in the same way that you can in iTunes

Is it possible to stream music to multiple sets of speakers via airplay direct from iphone4s on ios7 in the same way that you can in iTunes / Remote?
I know this can be achieved by the remote app.
Airplay functionality appears only to support 1 set of speakers at a time?

Does anyone know how or if it's possible to stream my music from the iPhone to iTunes via bluetooth or wifi? Essentially I want to share the iPhone's library with iTunes (I know one can go the other way).
Here's why: I'd like to stream my music at work to my computer's speakers without taking the phone out of my pocket. I obviously don't have my home music collection on my company computer. And I figure if I place the phone on my desk to plug it in and play through iTunes, I could easily walk off without the phone. That would be bad (out of contact) and potentially sad (stolen).
It seems right now the only bluetooth connection to a computer is for the remote application.
Wait until November. Airplay/Airtunes iOS 4.2 announced for iPhone to iTunes/iTV. If you want a BT audio stream now, you can add a dongle to the PC for headset streaming.
As far as WiFi file transfer iPhone to iTunes, you can't. There's talks on it but nothing concrete. Except JB.

Is that possible to set up a multiple y-axis and single x-axis in one waveformchart (in LabVIEW 8.0)?

Hello!
Is that possible to set up a multiple y-axis and single x-axis in one waveform chart using LabVIEW 8.0?
Because I need to display several channels in the same chart, if one channel has a very big data range and the others not, the channels with smaller data range will not be displayed very clear.
Thanks!
