Is it possible to sort by columns by date

How do I organise my Date column?? I can't seem to find the resolution.
I want to organise it from the start of the financial year.
Many thanks

Hi Johnny,
Ok, so i have found the inspector tab and i have been trying already within the filter and sort fields with no luck
Click on Sort, then Click on Add a Column...
Or, another way without using the side panel. Click in a column (B in this example) then click on the "v" on the column label (B) to see a contextual menu:
Regards,
Ian.

  • Is it possible to sort photos by the date imported?

    The majority of my photos were taken without the date being set in the camera.
    In previous versions of iphoto it appeared as though each time I imported images (now called an event) the events were put in the order that they were imported.
    I would like to go back to that method of ordering, on a temporary basis this will allow me to try estimate the date that each event took place because at least the events would be in chronological order.
    Right now my events are completely unordered because of wrong dates.

    I'm assuming that in addition to not having the date set in your camera you had not renamed the rolls in iPhoto 6 so every event is now titled "Untitled event"
    The only way to fix your dates that comes to mind is to go back to iPhoto 6, go through all your rolls and name them 'Roll "date"' or even 'roll n' then reimport into iPhoto 7.0.2 . that way the events will be in the same order that the rolls were in iPhoto 6 and you can use the iPhoto "photos menu ==> adjust date and time" or "photos menu ==> batch change ==> set date" to modify the dates so the events work
    Before doing anything I'd download Old Toad's library back up and do that (see pretty much any of his posts for instructions)

  • Sort order column in a report

    hi all,
    I've seen in a dashboard (OBIEE 10.1.3) on linux os that is possible to sort the columns of the measures in a table (an arrow appears next to the name of the column), but I haven't noticed in the settings how get this result.
    is a feature of linux or you can apply this in windows? if so, how?
    thank you for the reply

    you have to enable the sorting for table view in Answers report. refer below article.

    Hi,
    Here is the code, no support included :-):
    import java.util.Collections;
    import java.util.Comparator;
    import java.util.Vector;
    import com.sapportals.htmlb.table.DefaultTableViewModel;
    public class SortTableModel extends DefaultTableViewModel implements Comparator {
         protected int currCol;
         protected Vector ascendCol; // this vector stores the state (ascending or descending) of each column
         protected Integer one = new Integer(1);

              super(vec, vec2);
              ascendCol = new Vector();
              setSortOrder(numberOfColumns);
    This method is the implementation of the Comparator interface.
    It is used for sorting the rows
         public int compare(Object v1, Object v2) {
              // the comparison is between 2 vectors, each representing a row
              // the comparison is done between 2 objects from the different rows that are in the column that is being sorted
              int ascending = ((Integer)ascendCol.get(currCol)).intValue();
              if (v1 == null && v2 == null) {
                   return 0;
              } else if (v2 == null) { // Define null less than everything.
                   return 1 * ascending;
              } else if (v1 == null) {
                   return -1 * ascending;
              Object o1 = ((Vector)v1).get(currCol);
              Object o2 = ((Vector)v2).get(currCol);
              // If both values are null, return 0.
              if (o1 == null && o2 == null) {
                   return 0;
              } else if (o2 == null) { // Define null less than everything.
                   return 1 * ascending;

                   return -1 * ascending;
              if (o1 instanceof Number && o2 instanceof Number) {
                   Number n1 = (Number)o1;
                   double d1 = n1.doubleValue();
                   Number n2 = (Number)o2;
                   double d2 = n2.doubleValue();
                   if (d1 == d2) {
                        return 0;
                   } else if (d1 > d2) {
                        return 1 * ascending;
                   } else {
                        return -1 * ascending;
              } else if (o1 instanceof Boolean && o2 instanceof Boolean) {
                   Boolean bool1 = (Boolean)o1;

                   String s1 = o1.toString();
                   String s2 = o2.toString();
                   return s1.compareTo(s2) * ascending;
    This method sorts the rows using Java's Collections class.
    After sorting, it changes the state of the column -
    if the column was ascending, its new state is descending, and vice versa.
         public void sort() {
              Collections.sort(dataVector, this);
              Integer val = (Integer)ascendCol.get(currCol);
              ascendCol.remove(currCol);
              if (val.equals(one)) // change the state of the column
                   ascendCol.add(currCol, minusOne);
              else
                   ascendCol.add(currCol, one);
         public void sortByColumn(int column) {
              this.currCol = column;
              sort();
         public void setSortOrder(int numberOfColumns) {
              for (int i = 0; i < numberOfColumns; i++) {

  • Is it possible to sort by dates in a column?

    I have a column of dates and would like to sort either ascending or descending, but Numbers sorts by the first number.  Is there any trick to getting it to sort dates?

    Janice,
    I would guess that if Numbers is only using the first number to sort then it may not think the information you entered is a valid date.
    Here is an example showing that Number does not think my last entry is a valid date:
    Column A has no special formatting.  In this case when I enter a date Numbers right justifies it when it recognizes the entry as a valid date.  In the event Numbers does not recognize the entry as valid it left justifies it.  Do you see any entries that are not valid dates?

  • Sort table columns in a table and context created dinamically

    Hello all,
    I have implemented the table sorting several times in another developments, but now I'm facing a problem.
    I have created the table and context node that I need to sort dinamically (before somebody ask me why, I would say that it's the only way to do that for my current project, there was no possibility of doing that in dessign time). I have implemented the table sorting more or less the same way I would do with a table created in dessing time, but when I run my WD the sorting of columns doesn't work.
    In the wdDoModifyView, I have put the following code:
    if(firstTime){
    IWDAction ordenacion     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ORDENACION,  null);
    IWDParameters param = ordenacion.getActionParameters();
    param.addParameter("nombreNodo",nombreNodo);
    and in the code of the action
        //@@begin onActionOrdenacion(ServerEvent)
         System.err.println("**** NOMBRE NODO **** "+nombreNodo);
         wdContext.currentContextElement().getTableSorter().sort(wdEvent, wdContext.getChildNode(nombreNodo, IWDNode.LEAD_SELECTION));
        //@@end
    The name of the node ("nombreNodo) it's only correct the first time I click on a column.
    Has anybody implemented the table sorting in a dinamically created table and context node? And how do you do to make it works.
    Thank you very much

    Here is the code
    //Preparamos Navegaciones
    IWDAction abrirProyecto = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ABRIR_PROYECTO, null);
    IWDAction abrirDisp     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ABRIR_DISPONIBLE,  null);
    //IWDAction ordenacion     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ORDENACION,  null);
    IWDAction ordenacion=wdThis.wdGetOrdenacionAction();
    IWDParameters param = ordenacion.getActionParameters();
    param.addParameter("nombreNodo",nombreNodo);

  • Pages:  How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

    How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?  I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table.  It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well.  I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

    Hi Peter,
    Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
    In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
    iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
    As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
    With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
    In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

  • 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!

  • Is it possible to sort the Aperture Library by Lens used

    Is it possible to sort the Aperture Library by Lens used? And get statistics on the different Lenses used?
    I'm using latest Aperture.

    I would just add that your Preferences settings have to be set to show the columns you need. Go to Aperture -> Preferences, and select the Metadata tab. in the "List View Columns" field, for whichever set you have chosen with the radio button, choose the set of data from the pulldown list that shows the fields you want. For example, I have the lens model field set in EXIF-Expanded set. I choose that set and those fields will show in the columns in List View.
    Great tips, thanks!

  • Is it possible to sort items by kind but always show folders first?

    Hi,
    In column view, is it possible to sort items by kind but always show folders first? There's a hack explained here: http://www.bece.org/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/5/Default.aspx but by using this hack, in list view, the kind for folders is displayed as ~Folder instead of Folder.
    Thanks in advance,

    that hack is with using space instead of ~ is the absolute best you can do.

  • Sort order column with a between filter

    Hi all,
    [using OBI-EE version 10.1.3.3.1]
    I've got a column 'BLOCK_ROW' which contains values A,B,C....AA,AB,AC...BA,BB...FK,FL
    Alphabetically this orders A,AA,AB.... which is incorrect. The order should be A,B,C...
    To be able to sort correctly we added a column 'ROW_SORT' to our model, which is numeric. This column is set as the 'sort order column' in the repository and makes sure the sorting is done correctly.
    So far, so good...
    Now, I want to be able to use a 'between' filter on this column, e.g. between 'A' and 'C'. Unfortunately this returns A,B,C,AA,AB... while I want it to return A,B,C.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Elio
    Generated SQL:
    select distinct T91353.BLOCK_ROW as c1,
    T91353.ROW_SORT as c2
    from
    <table_name> T91353
    where ( T91353.BLOCK_ROW between 'A' and 'C' )
    order by c2
    --> Sorting handled based on ROW_SORT, between filter not :(

    That will only do the trick in this particular example. Between 'A' and 'AA' will fail again and only returns A and AA while it should return A..Z and AA.
    Using extra filters is always possible but I'm looking for a more robust solution, which also allows for dashboard 'between' prompts based on this column.
    A workaround I came up with is to add a calculated field which concats an '_' in front of the single 'digit' values. This results in: A,B,_C,.....,AA,AB....FL. This set can be ordered alphabetically and this will work for now.
    In the future, however, it might happen that the order of the letters will completely change. In the datamodel this can be achieved by changing the order of the numbers in ROW_SORT.
    Example dataset:
    BLOCK_ROW | ROW_SORT
    Q | 1
    D | 2
    F | 3
    AA | 4
    A | 5
    The filter 'between D and AA' should then result in D,F,AA.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Elio

  • Strange application behaviour after try to sort datagrid column

    Hi all
    I have a simple Air desktop application with customized DataGrid (Spark version). Problem that users found is when they trying to sort grid by one of the columns applicaiton closes without any messages. I've repeated this bug on my PC but there is a problem - in debug mode (i mean with ADL) it works OK without any tries to crash on sort. So my questions in priority order:
    1. Is that possible to obtain live Air application errors log? I mean after installation. Maybe with 3rd party applicaiton. I'm using MonsterDebugger and added few log messages but looks like application just crashes without firing closing or close event.
    2. Which part of DataGrid could crash applicaiton in release mode? Just thought debug mode is more strict.
    My dev system:
    Flash Builder 4.6
    Adobe Air 3.2
    Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Best regards, Roman
    P.S. Sorry for my bad english

    Based on your idea, i've intercepted the click event and I use stopImmediatePropagation.
    THen i added an image to sort the column. So if the image is clicked the sort is ok.

    This looks very promissing however, when I paste the TableSorter class into my project, it cannot resolve imports, and has some other import problems:

  • Can clicking on column heading sort the column contents instead of drill in

    I have a pivot table with data that the client doesn't want to drill into. Instead, they want to be able to click the column heading and have the pivot table re-sort the data in the table based on the data in that column. Is that possible, or are clickable column headings only used for drilling in OBIEE? Thanks.

    Madan -
    That seems like a feature that should be added to the Pivot Table view if they are going to have it in the Table View. Still, thanks for pointing out the "Enable column sorting in Dashboards" check box in the Table view. I'll see if I can either get this data into the Table view, or at least let the client know the limitations of OBIEE.
    Thanks again.
