ItunesU collection: Sorting Options

Under ItunesU, I have in the past been able to "sort by name" (clicking "view" at the top, then "show view options", then sort by "name") for my ItunesU collections. Currently, however, I am only able to sort by "release date". How do I fix this?

For anyone else looking for a solution to this, it can be solved by selecting all the videos, Get Info and changing Part of a Compilation to Yes (Options tab). It may also be necessary to 'update' the Track Number and Disc Number to be empty if there's already a numbering scheme. This means checking the box under each and clearing out any other info.
For one course, the compilation trick worked, while the second required both to put the individual classes in order.

Sort Folders in Library by Date or other sort options

I find myself hunting for folders that I've imported in the Library module.
It would be so nice if there was an option to sort folders in the Library by date imported or date last edited or ANYTHING other than alphabetically. Seems like a easy and really obvious fix.
Thanks!

I too use folders as a primary means of organization. In fact, if Lightroom did not support folders, it would have been a deal breaker - I absolutely would not have bought it, period - its that important to me). We are perhaps a dieing breed - but not dead yet.
I use collections extensively too for organization, but more for special purposes as opposed to a "lowest common denominator of organization" (folders).
That said, I name my folders so they show up in the order I want them too - i.e. use a prefix (e.g. numeric) and they'll always be ordered properly. Interesting note: Lighroom is smart enough to auto-detect numeric prefixes and order them correctly without needing to pad with zeros (e.g. '2 Day After New Years' will come before '10 Resolutions - Holding Firm'). However, plenty of other software is not, so I pad anyway (e.g. '02 Day After New Years'... - that way they show up in the correct order when served via DLNA or anything that has alphabetic ordering but is not "numeric-prefix-smart" like Lightroom.
PS - One of the functions of my up-n-coming Lr-sidekick-app/plugin duo is a (possibly full length) folder pane (which would generally be placed on an auxiliary monitor) - so folders are available in develop mode too. I may add a folder-sort option, although I don't need it m'self.
Cheers,
Rob

Totally inadequate sorting options...

It is impossible to meaningfully display the book collection in All Books mode.
We need ability to sort by Author, Year, etc. AND combinations of... At minimum give us the same options we had under iTunes! Who sorts books by Title (only)???

A sort option is sort of like a hidden field. Right now, your songs/artists/albums sort by alphabetical order, from the data given.
But let's say you wanted some item to sort DIFFERENTLY than what is given, without changing the actual tags/titles.
For example, this is done AUTOMATICALLY in iTunes:
If you add a song from an artist, say, "The Offspring", the SORT artist is actually "Offspring". iTunes will FIRST sort by the SORT fields, so in this case, The Offspring is sorted under O. If there is nothing in the SORT field, it will then sort by the actual tags.
Honestly, I haven't found much of a use for it yet, but say maybe like there were albums called: One, Two, Three, Four.
When displayed normally in iTunes they would appear in this order: Four, One, Three, Two. But say you'd rather have the albums sort differently, like in their numerical order, you can make the SORT ALBUM 1 for One, 2 for Two, 3 for Three, 4 for Four. Now, theyll sort in numerical order, while maintaining the normal title.
Again, yeah, very rare circumstances, but the options there if you want it which is nice.

You can make a descending sorting for your key figure using the condition TopPercent (Top%) and take the value 100. To sort ascending, use the BottomPercent (Bottom%) condition on your key figure.
Then 100 % of the values of your key figure will be shown in a descending sorting by default in your query (without using a view).
I used the feature in the newest BEx Query Designer (7.x) and it works fine, I don't know if it's available in the older version (3.x).
Please assign points.

wa_sort-tabname = 'IT_KNA1'. "internal table with records
wa_sort-up = 'X'.
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sort.
CLEAR wa_sort.
"this will sort the ALV o/p for customer with same name
"now the name will not be repeated
"records with same name will be grouped
*          DISPLAY RECORDS IN ALV GRID
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

Error in proposed Collections.sort signature

(A very long time ago I've send a note on this to the jsr comment list, but unfortunately I never got a reply nor did I notice a bug report. Therefore I propose the change again here).
The signature of the Collections.sort method is very limiting:
static <T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<T> c);This signature requires you to pass a Comparator that is parameterized with exactly the same type as the items in the List. However, often Comparators can be implemented more generic. The signature doesn't allow this. The only requirement for the sort algorithm is however to pass a Comparator that is able to compare the items in the List.
This requirement is expressed by the following signature:
static <T, E extends T> void sort(List<E> list, Comparator<T> comparator) The items in the List are now allowed to be more specific. Because I don't want to cast in Generic Java code I've implemented a tiny workaround:
public static <T, E extends T> void sort(List<E> list, Comparator<T> comparator) {
    Collections.sort(list, new ComparatorWrapper<T, E>(comparator));
private static class ComparatorWrapper<T, E extends T> implements Comparator<E> {
    private Comparator<T> _comparator;
    public ComparatorWrapper(Comparator<T> comparator) {
      super();
      _comparator = comparator;
    public int compare(E o1, E o2) {
      return _comparator.compare(o1, o2);
}This proves the correctness of the new signature. This also proves that you have to be very careful in chosing a signature. I've been working with Generic Java for some years now, but I'm still making the same mistake now and then ...

This will be fixed in a novel and interesting way in the new spec for GJ -- stay tuned! (I think mid-May/late-May is the expected timeframe for this.)

How can I save my finder arrange/sort options once and for all?

I'm opening the Finder View Options panel and resetting the arrange and sort options several times a day and it's driving me nuts. The Finder ignores my desperate pleas to apply these options system-wide and seems to purposely forget the options I chose the day before.
I notice that the Icon view, List view, and even the Cover Flow view in the Finder get a "Use as Defaults" button in the View Options. Those of us in the Column View don't get that button, though. What have we done to deserve this?
I'd like the Finder to now and forevermore open every window with the following options:
Column View
Arrange By > Kind
Sort By > Name
Can anyone help me make this happen? Thanks!

I've found setting the Arrange By to anything other then None gives different results then what I expected.
Select Column View from the Tool bar then open View Options and set Arrange By to None and Sort By to Name.
If you then see the names in reverse alphabetical order click on list in the tool bar then on the Name column header to put them right. in Alphabetical order, then switch back to column view on the Tool bar. you should be good to go from there
Whoever thought up Finders View logic should have their head checked.

Help on Oracle Report sort option!

Hi,
My query in Q_1 of Oracle report is select &a_code ori_code ,&a_desc ori_description from &a ori_lup order by &b. When click on OK button it says
ORA-00936: missing expression
select ori_code,ori_description from ori_lup order by ==>
I am not able to resolve this problem.
What I am trying to do is I have some maintenance tables which have almost same columns like code, description. I want to define a single report and pass on parameters to this report, so that I can use same report for different tables. If I dont give order by clause it is working fine, but I should also provide sort option based on user selection of sort by code/description.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
If I correcly understand you need sorted query, if the parameter 'b' is given, and not sorted query otherwise.
This may be done, for exeample, by the following way.
1. Delete the text 'order by' in your query as follows:
select &a_code ori_code ,&a_desc ori_description from &a ori_lup &b
2. Create 'AFTER PARAMETER FORM' trigger:
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
IF LENGTH( LTRIM( RTRIM( :b ) ) ) > 0 THEN
:b := 'ORDER BY ' | | :b;
ELSE
:b := '';
END IF;
return (TRUE);
end;
I think it will help for you.

N^2 log(n) for Collections.sort() on a linked list in place?

So, I was looking over the Java API regarding Collections.sort() on linked lists, and it says it dumps linked lists into an array so that it can call merge sort. Because, otherwise, sorting a linked list in place would lead to a complexity of O(n^2 log n) ... can someone explain how this happens?

uj,
... there are other sorting methods for linked lists with an O(N*N) complexity.Please, what are those algorithms? I'm guesing they're variants off insertion sort, coz an insertion is O(1) in a linked list [and expensive in array]... Am I warm?You don't have to change the structure of a linked list to sort it. You can use an ordinary Bubblesort. (The list is repeatedly scanned. In each scan adjacent elements are compared and if they're in wrong order they're swapped. When one scan of the list passes without any swaps the list is sorted). This is an O(N*N) algoritm.
What I mean is it's possible to sort a list with O(N*N) complexity. It doesn't have to be O(N*N*logN) as the Java documentation kind of suggests. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if there were special O(N*logN) algoritms available also for lists but I don't know really. In any case Java uses none of them.

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.

DRQ# Payment Wizard Loses Sort Option

Hi,
The sort function in the SAP payment wizard, loses it's settings in Step 6. In Step 3, you can sort the BP name field to sort by alpha, but in Step 6 the sort converts back to numeric, by BP Code. Our client is having problems with this when making their invoice selections in the wizard, as their invoice filing system is alphabetic and they have a large pile to sort through when making payments.
I would have thought the sort option should retain throughout the wizard from Step 3 to Step 6. Additionally it would be nice if in Step 6 there was also the option to sort again if needed.
Thanks,
Lianne

Dear SAP,
Is this question so difficult, nobody can give a response so far??

Sort option in Repetitive Area on AR Invoice PLD is disabled / greyed out

Hi Experts,
I have an issue whereby in my PLD the sort option under Print Layout Design Manager -> Repetitive Area -> Sort is greyed out / disabled in the AR Invoice PLD. Does anyone know why this might be? I've not seen this before and I can't find any notes relating to specifically to this issue in an AR Invoice PLD.
2007A PL06 Hot Fix 01.
Many thanks for any help,
Caroline

Hello Khushwant,
In SAP when your business Process is Sales Order --> Delivery --> AR Invoice
SAP would print the Batch Numbers along with the Delivery document.
But your Business Process is Sales Order --> AR Invoice
SAP would print the Batch Numbers along with the Invoice document.
Whichever document releaves inventory, SAP will Open the Batch selection screen when adding that document and the Batch Report will be printed on a seperate sheet along with that document.
The functionality change in SBO 2007, is that the Batch number print on the Delivery / Invoice document itself instead of on a seperate Page as in 2005.
Could you please explain your Business Process in relation to what I have mentioned earlier.
Printing the Batch Number as part of the Invoice document itself in SBO 2005 is going to be a tough task.
Let me know if where and how you want to print this information.
Regards
Suda

Sorting options in table maintenance

Hi All,
I have created one ztable and created table maintenace generator for the same and also created the transaction code for the same to maintain the data just like SM30.
Here my requirement is as soon as we execute the transaction code, it will display all the fields to maintain. with the options of change, new entries, copy as, select all, deselect all, delete etc.. But along with that I need to have the sorting options at the application tool bar.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ramesh .

you may have to change the tablemaintenance function group , you may need to include those option by changing the pf-status and the corresponding function needs to handled in the pai.
instead of that...
i would suggest you to use custom program to maintain the table entries.

Sort options right justified in list view

New to Maverick's, but I can't get my finder window to "stick" with the layout of the "sort options". My biggest beef is that I have the "Name" sort far left followed by "Date modified", etc.. yet every day in every new finder window, the 2nd sort jumps to right justified. I want this sort option to stick to the left alongside name. I use large monitors and scrolling over everytime to drag the sort modifier to the left is frustrating. Is there a solution?

My guess would be the Images folder (Pictures in English) is designed to have the special, contextual grouping types.
I don't know why they couldn't make them available in the dropdown menu, also, but they're not.
I did a little testing and found if I called it Pictures unsorted, the options were available, but if I called the folder unsorted Pictures, they weren't.
Try naming the folder starting with Images
Edit: If I select the dimension and resolution column headers in the folder, then change the name of the folder, the columns are retained.

Playlist sorting options

I would love to be able to sort my playlists by Artists, then drill down by album so as not to clutter my Spotify. It's pretty hard to organize my playlists the current way. Any ideas on a future iteration that will enable this capability?

Please implement alphabetical sorting at the least. It is something I have considerd lacking since day one. I still love the service and have paid for nearly 3 years now, but it seriously needs better sorting options so that I can instantly get to an album/playlist. It's daft because it all has to be done manually, and android puts new playlists at the top and mac at the bottom of the list. Just a button to organise, it can't be that difficult? I fail to see why all these apps and integration can be used to best effect without proper sorting options. It really is a drag, people. Thanks for listening...
