List printed To-dos wont hold sort order...!

Whenever I short my daily to dos in iCal and get the rank priority I want, and then try to print them out in the list view for the day, they print out in random, jumbled up order. Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong, or is that just how iCal works.(not very well)

Okay. I've collected myself and found a Mac based print screen solution. We have software called Grab.
Here are the directions:
Taking a picture of part of your screen
If you don't need a picture of your entire screen, you can capture just part of the screen using Grab.
Open Grab (located in /Applications/Utilities).
Choose Capture > Selection.
Move the pointer to a corner of the area you want to capture.
Drag the pointer across the area and release the mouse button.
Grab captures the part you selected within a few seconds. A new window appears with the image of the selected area.
Then you just print up the grabbed document.
Wait --- lemme check the print out --- Did it work?
Oui, oui! A thousand times yes!
Tally ho:

ICal 2.0.3 (1055) - How to print To Dos List in Correct Order

I've entered To Dos in the following format - "mm/dd text". For example,
08/01 Shopping
10/12 Complete Assignment
11/03 Go to School
and so on. The items in the To Do list appear in the correct "mm/dd" sequential order in iCal.
Problem: When I print my To Do List using "View" the order of the items in the list are not in the same order they appear in the To Do List in iCal, e.g.,
08/01 is printed first
07/19 is printed second
07/15 is printed third
08/03 is printed next
and so on. I've tried sorting the To Do List in ICal by date, manually and the other options but the order of the items are still printed out of sequential order.
About the only thing I haven't tried to using "mm-dd" as the format for month and date, instead of "mm/dd". Maybe "mm/dd" results in some kind of hexidecimal sort of the items for printing.
Question: Is there any way to print the To Dos List in the same order they appear in iCal?
Thank you for your help!

It sounds like from your description that you're entering a date as a string in the todo description. Ideally you should be entering the date as the due date. This will help the sort order both in iCal and when printing. When you decide to print the To Do List, make sure View is set to List. Only check To Dos. In the time range, select the range you want to see. Anything without a due date will be printed under the heading To Dos without Due Date.

Contact sorting broken in "Lists" print option?

Wanted to print a simple contact list out of Address Book / er um... "Contacts".
If i select "Mailing Lables", "Envelopes", or "Pocket Address Book" everything seems to work as it should.
However, if i select "Lists" the sort-order of list is completely messed-up. I can't even make a guess at what criteria it might be trying to sort by, but it certianly isn't the names.
Replicated the issue on my iMac running Mountain Lion as well.
Anybody else seeing the same thing?
ML bug or just something whacked w/ my contacts?

Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

Hello,
When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem["Title"] = title;
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(myList);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
The code in the webpart is this:
SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
{"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
{"Title", txtTitle.Text}
SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
ds.Item["Title"] = title
ds.Item.Update();
why is the sort order wrong?
if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
i don't get it....

Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:

If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:

List of found events changes sort order when pasted from clipboard

when I find a set of events in iCal, the list appears in the window at the bottom of the page in the correct sort order when sorted by date, title or type. When I then copy that list to the clipboard and paste it into another program (Pages, MacJournal, TextEdit) the sort order changes.
I work mostly in English, but my macbookpro keyboard is German, so I assume the problem is with the language settings. I've tried changing the system preferences for language and sort order, and that changes the sort order, but it doesn't get it right.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Add_item : Attributes list collection sort order

Hello:
I created multiple custom attributes and added them to my custom item type. I need to apply these attributes while adding an item programmatically.
1) How do i define the order of the Attributes list via the Portal builder so as to match the corresponding values read from a list/table,etc. ?
2) The ordering arrow buttons in the attribute list of my custom item type does not match the result set from my query. I tried all options of "order by" clause. Here is the query - (componenttype is the name of my custom item type)
select iatts.ID
,atts.caid
     ,atts.DATA_TYPE
     ,atts.CAID
     ,atts.NAME,atts.DISPLAY_NAME
     ,iatts.ITEM_TYPE_ID
from wwsbr_item_types itypes
,wwsbr_item_type_attributes iatts
,wwsbr_attributes atts
where --itypes.caid = 133
itypes.name like 'ComponentType'
and itypes.ID = iatts.ITEM_TYPE_ID
and iatts.ATTRIBUTE_ID = atts.ID
--and atts.CAID = 133
order by atts.id
3) I need to expect a certain order of the attribute ids, when bulk collecting into the attributes array, in order to populate the values collection in the same. So, how do I determine the order of the attributes ids ?
4) Is there a better way to do this ?
Thank You.
regards
Ananth

Custom Sort Order in Dropdown list of translate values

Peoplesoft sorts the dropdown translate values in ascending order by default. I wanted to change the sort order. For example:
The translate values in alphabetic order are:
Andrea
Baluch
Others
Shumi
I want this "Others" as the last value. So the drop down should display like this:
Andrea
Baluch
Shumi
Others

From a document I had created ...
This odd behavior of PeopleTools however can be overridden by implementing a few lines of JavaScript and PeopleCode.
The approach is quite simple and summarized briefly as below:
1.     Concatenate the value-description pairs of the dropdown list into a single string separated by a pipe “|” as delimiter (in case other delimiter is used the script shown below in Step 4 has
to be accordingly modified) in the sequence in which it should be displayed on the page.
2.     While concatenating, make sure to place the value first and then the description, these being separated by the delimiter. Example: “01|”|”January”|”02|”February” …and so on.
3.     Pass this string as a parameter to an HTML definition through a GetHtmlText function. This HTML definition in turn will a have a JavaScript logic to resolve this delimited string into
meaningful value-description pairs and use them to override the intended dropdown list.
Below are the steps in detail:
Step 1:
Find out the html element-id for the dropdown field from the html source-code of the PeopleSoft page from the browser. In HTML, the tag for a dropdown field is <select> </select>
The element-id is set by the id attribute of the <select> tag. This id would be used in Step 5.
Step 2:
Add a field of type Long Character to any work record that you may be using on your page for buttons, hyperlinks, etc.
Step 3:
Add an HTML-Area to the page (preferably alongside the dropdown field which needs need to be sorted). In the properties of the HTML-Area, assign the Record-field used in Step 2 above.
Step 4:
Create a HTML definition from the app-designer and add the below JavaScript code to it and save the definition.
<script>
var j=0;
var str=new String('%bind(:2)');
ar1=str.split("|");
var fld = document.getElementById("%bind(:1)");
fld.options.length = 0;
fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option('', '');
while (j<ar1.length)
          fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option(ar1[j+1], ar1[j]);
                j=j+2;
</script>
Step 5:
Write peoplecode on an appropriate event to generate the concatenated string of value-descriptions delimited by a pipe “|”. A pseudocode for the same is shown below. Here the HTML id for the dropdown field and the value-description string are passed as parameters to the JavaScript shown in Step 4; and JavaScript thus created after substitution of the Bind values is assigned to the value of Record.Field used in Step 2 & 3. The location of the below peoplecode may vary depending on the when the dropdown list needs to be sorted.
Local string &strDropdownValues;
&strDropdownValues = "1|" | "January|" | "2|" | "February|" | "3|" | "March|" | "4|" | "April|" | "5|" | "May|" | "6|" | "June";
<Record.Field>.Value = GetHTMLText(<HTML.DPS_DROPDOWN_HTML>, "<DROPDOWN_ID>", &strDropdownValues);

Update all views sort order in a list using powershell

I have a column "Employee Name" in my Lists/Library of my sitecollection ,
I need to update Sort order of all views of that lists and library to be sort alphabetically by "Employee Name" .
I have already some filters applied on these views.I dont want these to get effected.I want to change only the sort order to be based on "Employee Name" column.
Any pointers on how to achieve this by Powershell will be helpful

Hi,
The following PowerShell script for your reference:
$webURL = "http://siteurl";
$listName = "ListName";
$web = Get-SPWeb $webURL;
$list = $web.Lists[$listName];
$views= $list.Views;
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $views.Count; $i++)
$view=$views[$i];
$view.Query = '<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Employee_x0020_Name"/></OrderBy>';
$view.Update();
$list.Update();

Sort order of file names in list windows

Why is the sort order of file names in the File > Open File...
list window other than in a normal Finder list window?
Example:
File > Open...:
@@@2Know.pages
@@@2KnowQ.pages
@@@@@2Do.pages
@@@@eBayAmaz.pages
@@@@pws.pages
@@@@Sold-DE.pages
@@@@Sold-UK.pages
Finder Window:
@@@@@2Do.pages
@@@@eBayAmaz.pages
@@@@pws.pages
@@@@Sold-DE.pages
@@@@Sold-UK.pages
@@@2Know.pages
@@@2KnowQ.pages
How could both lists be displayed equal?
Thanks!

Run this short script
set theFolder to choose folder
set theNames to list folder theFolder
set texte to ""
repeat with n in theNames
--set n to n as text
set texte to texte & n & return
repeat with i from 1 to count of n
set texte to texte & (ASCII number of character i of n) & " , "
end repeat
set texte to texte & return
end repeat
set p2d to path to desktop
set rapport to "the characters.txt"
tell application "Finder"
if exists file rapport of p2d then delete file rapport of p2d
set theRapport to (make new file at p2d with properties {name:rapport})
end tell
write texte to (theRapport as alias) starting at 1
navigate to the folder whose list seems curious.
You will get a file named "the characters.txt" on the desktop.
It will show the code of every character embedded in fileNames.
My guess is that there are some control characters which aren't treated the same by the open dialog and by the Finder.
Here is an example:

Sort Order: Case insensitive... move NULL to end of list

Hello All,
I am trying to sort a set a values, and NULL is a possible value. In the report I am displaying the NULL as EMPTY (I cannot leave that as NULL). I was wondering if there is a way to display this 'EMPTY' value as the last element in the list.
I tried to append various ASCII characters in front of it, but nothing seems to work. Even is if enclose it in parenthesis, is does alphabetical sort.
Is there a work around ?
Thanks for your time !

Nemi, Deborah,
According to SAP Note 1200528 - Web Intelligence does not utilize special characters when sorting, this 'issue' is by design and not by design.
The following is a copy-paste from the note:
Symptom
When attempting to sort a Web Intelligence document on a particular column, special characters such as "-" or "." are not respected. For example, add the following into a database and then create a Web Intelligence report.
a-Austria
a-Austrailia
a-Belgium
a B-Argentina
a B-Brazil
a B-Egypt
When you sort this data in Web Intelligence it appears as:
a-Austria
a-Austrailia
a B-Argentina
a B-Brazil
a B-Egypt
a-Belgium
Cause
This behavior is by design. For Enterprise XI Release 2, the Lexicographical order of the International components of Unicode has been implemented. This order sorts with respect to the language set for a data source. This means that if we modify the sort order for English, other languages that we support will also have changes in their sort order. In this case we must do our best to respect all the languages that we support.
For more information please go to http://icu.sourceforge.net/
Resolution
To work around this behavior, complete one of the following:
Workaround 1:
Create a formula on the field such as
"=Replace([Col001];"-";" ")"
This will replace the - with a space although for this example the sort will be in the same "wrong" order, it will look much nicer.
- or-
Workaround 2:
Create a custom sort:
1. Select the section cell or table cells you want to sort.
2. Click the down arrow next to the Apply/Remove Sort button on the Report toolbar then select Custom... from the drop-down list.
Best,
Srinivas

Update a list item based sort order of created by column value

HI
using powershell script how to sort a list column before update a list item.
here i created a document library and uploaded some documents and update ProcessNo column based sort order of created column
value.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sort the list items order before updating items using PowerShell.
I suggest you can use the Sort-Object command to sort the list items.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Modify Print/Sort Order of Checks using Template

I am working on finalizing the template for Check Writer XML and hit a good one.
Is there a way to change the sort order of how the check would print from within the template?
If we were able to do this I could do away with the customizations we currently have in place for our Deposit Advice XML.
The sort order I need is the following: Mailstop (segment1), Last Name and then First Name.
Is there a way to do this at all?
Thanks for any guidance.
G

1. Try to do it in db itself.
2. If that is not possible, then specify the sort order in RTF like
<?for-each:GROUP?>
<?sort:SEGMENT1;'ascending';data-type='number'?> -- Not sure if its Varchar or Number. Change the data type accordingly
<?sort:LAST_NAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?sort:FIRST_NAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
Do check if the performance is not affected by this.

Sort order of Price Lists

My customer has recently upgraded from 2007A PL 42 to 8.81 PL 7. Before upgrade all pricelists are
displayed in item code sort order. After upgrade, the sort order seems almost random.
Customer maintains 175 different pricelists (mainly supplier pricelists) Customer needs to look up an
item price from a specific price list - goes to Inventory / Price lists / Price Lists, selects the required
price list and double clicks on the row number which then displays itemcodes, item descriptions, base
price and unit price.
Before upgrade, the customer could immediately start typing the item code and quickly get the required
price. Now they must resort the displayed list by item code first, then start typing the item code.
Process that used to be quick now takes more time. Customer can't understand why something that
was working well for them has been changed to make life difficult
At first I thought that the lists were now being sorted by description but the order changes even when
double clicking at the top of the description column.
Customer would like an option as to how they want the list displayed or for it to go back to how it was.
Customer's sales reps need to find prices quickly - can't understand why the sort order has changed

I was surprised to see you can/must set this on a podcast-by-podcast basis, but it is hard to argue with having finer control. Oldest to newest seems like a slightly more logical default, but that may just be personal preference.
Not to split off in a new direction, but if I then subscribe to a podcast in Podcasts app that I already subscribe to in iTunes, is it recommended I turn off syncing between iTunes and my iPhone for that podcast? Or will this question basically go away when iOS 6.0 is released?
Do the Podcasts app and the Music/iPod app share podcast files? Or will they be duplicated on my iPhone?
Tom
The podcasts will duplicate themselves on your device. I turned off podcast syncing on my devices. But the weird thing is that when I sync, podcasts then copy themselves to my iTunes library. Either sync or don't, but don't copy to both.

Sort order switches when changing from List to Thumbnail View

I can't seem to get the Thumbnail view to "lock" to the same sort order as the list view. I arrange by file name (or ingest date, or reverse media duration, or any of the other sortable metadata fields) in list view, but then when I click to the thumbnail view, the order seems to arbitrariliy change to some sort of preset. What's worse, it appears to be changing to something that's in a jumbled order.
This isn't a big deal if I only have 10 clips. If I have 100, or 1,000 clips though, they have to be in a sortable order for the thumbnail view to be of any use.
Thanks,
Eli

Hi,
Thanks for your post. Our current design doesn't support keeping order between list view and icon view. It would be good if you can drop that as a feature request / bug into the the forum.

CCM Display List Sort Order

Hello All,
when the CCM search screen is brought into the SRM the items are displayed without any default sort order. is there a way to configure a specific order when the list is first displayed? i know that clicking on the column will enable sorting, but i would like to know if there is any setting that can predetermine the sort order before the list is displayed in SRM.
thx in advance for your answers.

Greg: there is no Customizing setting you can control the sort order with. I feel your pain :). Short of modifying the system, the only way you may be able to achieve the desired functionality is BAdI /CCM/CSE_ENRICHMENT.
Cheers,
