Paul McCartney Pre-Order Problem with Sorting

I pre-ordered the new McCartney album last week (at which point it downloaded the "Ever Present Past" single) and when it became available today I downloaded the rest fine, except "Ever Present Past" (which should be song number 2) had a different album title ("Ever Present Past Single" or something like that) and thus didn't sort correctly with the rest of the album... so I edited the track to match the same album name and correct track number (being very careful to make sure that all of the fields in the Get Info window match the other tracks, and that there are no invisible spaces throwing it off), but it refuses to sort with the rest of the album... even tried to rebuild the iTunes Library file but that didn't work either... just curious if anyone else has a similar problem and/or a possible solution. Thanks.

This is ridiculous that this issue isn't being
> addressed. Same problem here, and I guarantee that
> I'm not alone.
Check out the emails I got from Apple on this:
"I understand that the single " Memory Almost Full" from the album you pre-ordered, will did not download with the album and now you're unable to listen to the album without it stopping to get to the single. Please note that re-downloading the album, will not resolve this issue. You are correct when you mentioned that this issue will happen because iTunes sees it as two different albums because it was downloaded separately. Don't worry. To resolve this issue, I recommend creating a playlist for the album itself. That way, you can arrange the contents of the album so that they will play without interruption.
This article will show you how to do this:

I hope you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store."
Well, that's great...so not only do I have to isolate the album from the rest of my iTunes collection, it also does nothing to fix the issue on my iPod. So I responded to them as such, and got this response:
"You did mention very valid points when stating your disappointment with the way pre-ordered albums are downloaded and Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide feedback about iTunes than the people who use it.
I encourage you to use the iTunes Feedback page to submit your comments:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Your efforts to share your feedback are very much appreciated.
I hope you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store.
Is this ridicuous or what? Unbelievable. If I bought a CD in a store and the tracks were incorrectly burned on the CD, the store would take it back or at least try to exchange it for a new copy that wasnt defective. This TECHNICAL ISSUE needs to be resolved.

Pre-order points missing and pre-ordering problems at the store level.

Hi
During the week of July 6th-July 12 there was an ad for pre-ordering certain movies and getting 100 bonus points for each movie. On July 12th I pre ordered Rio 2, The Amazing Spiderman 2, and Transformers:AOE (Steelbook edition). The employee was able to successfully pre-order Rio 2 using the provided in store pre order card but had difficultly pre ordering Spiderman 2 and Transformers. Rio 2 and Spiderman 2 had set release dates while at that time Transformers did NOT have a release date until recently. These pre-orders were done in three different transactions.
Picking up Rio 2 on 7/15 was not a problem. The employee did an exchange in the system. The 100 bonus points never posted.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a lot of problems. The employee thought I already bought it and picked it up on 7/12 when I went to pick it up on 8/19 (the release date). At the time of the pre order purchase, there was no announcement of the BB exclusive Magno pack for the same price as the regular blu ray release. Again the employee did a return/rebuy. This employee also stated that the employee who processed the pre-orders Spiderman and Transformers did it incorrectly since it looks like she did it as a normal transaction instead of a pre-order. The points have yet to be posted.
Transformers: AOE (Steelbook edition) now has an official release date of 9/30. My question is will the system allow for employee to process the pre-order pick up since it is outside of the 45 day window? I am hoping it won't be but seeing how the employees have been processing pre-orders incorrectly when picking them up I expect problems when doing so.
I have also noticed a price drop for transformers (6760435) from the time I pre-ordered it on 7/12. Will the employees be able to adjust the price and give me the difference?
Not all stores carry the pre-order cards making this a difficult process for everyone (it takes me on average 30 minutes to pick up 1 pre-order instead of in and out within 5 mins like usual) because someone didn't do it correctly the first time. So my question is, how should employees process a pre-order if there is NO Pre-Order card in store?? I would love to continue to pre-order at best buy, but am getting tired of having employees screw up my pre-order.

Hello ITDEFX101,
Pre-ordering your movies during these 100 My Best Buy™ Bonus Point promotions is a great way to ensure that you are able to get your hands on some great movies as soon as possible after release, while simultaneously earning extra points. It is regrettable to hear that your pre-order experience with Rio 2 and The Amazing Spiderman 2 were not as smooth as we strive for these processes to be, and in the end, you state you didn’t even get the bonus points you expected.
Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to review your pre-orders for all three movies, as well as your My Best Buy™ account. Sadly, it does appear that there may have been some issues with your pre-orders, and I would like to address these with you privately, especially concerning your pre-order for Transformers: Age of Extinction. I am sending you a private message, which you may view once you’ve signed into the forum and clicked the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

Problem with sorting involving user defined types and reports

Hello!
I have a problem with sorting involving Reports and user defined objet types.
I have created the following object types
CREATE TYPE type_balance_compte AS OBJECT
NUM_CPT_SEQ NUMBER(8)
,NUM_CPT VARCHAR2(35)
CREATE TYPE TB_type_balance_compte IS TABLE OF type_balance_compte
At the reports query I use:
SELECT ...
FROM table(cast(test_pkg.balance_comptes(:P_num_soc) as TB_type_balance_compte)) c
The procedure balance_comptes will retrieve data from various tables into the type.
The report is ordered by a certain string field that usually contains characters and numbers.
I need to have numbers always before characters, meaning the data should come in this order in the report for example:
0
1
A
B
So, before the report query, I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) to guarantee NLS_SORT in case it is originally set to FRENCH.
The problem here is that even after this call, I have the report ordered like this
A
B
0
1
And not the numbers before as it should be.
To try and find out where the problem was, I have created a table to use instead of the object type described above. In this case, it worked correctly. So all I know by now is that is has something to do with the type or cast, but what exactly? Does anybody now how to solve this without using a table?
Many thanks
Ariadne

I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) why not order directly then:
SQL> select *
      from table (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll ('A', 1, '5', 'C', 'a'))
order by nlssort (column_value, 'NLS_SORT = binary')
COLUMN_VALUE
1
5
A
C
a
5 rows selected.?

A Problem With Sorting via Applescript

Hello everyone. I have always lurked these forums and learnt many things along the way, but this is my first question, and I hope that someone can help me out. I apologise for the huge post.
I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers that I plan to use for a soccer tournament. There are 8 Groups of 4 teams in the competition, so I have set each Group up on its own sheet in order to record the results of the games. Group 1 is on Sheet 1, Group 2 is on Sheet 2 etc. These results are then fed into a second table on the each page in order to create a competition ladder for each group. So far so good, works beautifully. See image:
My next step is sorting these tables so that they form a proper "results table" with the best team on top. My wish is to sort the results table in this order:
Points
Diff
F
Although not very experienced with Applescript, I have written a script to sort all of the 8 sheets so that I don't have to do them one at a time. Unfortunately I find that every second sheet does not sort correctly, even though I am using the same instructions for each seet in my script.
See here, sheet two:
Sheet 3 sorts correctly but not sheet 4, sheet 5 is good but sheet 6 bad etc...
This is my script:
tell application "Numbers"
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder1" of sheet "Group1" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder2" of sheet "Group2" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder3" of sheet "Group3" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder4" of sheet "Group4" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder5" of sheet "Group5" of document "Manu"

          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder6" of sheet "Group6" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder7" of sheet "Group7" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "k" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "i" direction descending
          end tell
          tell table "Ladder8" of sheet "Group8" of document "Manu"
sort by column "g" direction descending
          end tell
end tell
Can anybody see any obvious errors with the script? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First I would look at some items to simplify the script:
I did NOT run this.
tell application "Numbers"
          set LadderNumber to 1
          repeat 8 times
       set theLadder to "Ladder" & LadderNumber
       set theGroup to "Group" & LadderNumber
       tell table theLadder of sheet theGroup of document "Manu"
            sort by column "k" direction descending
            sort by column "i" direction descending
            sort by column "g" direction descending
                         end tell
                         set LadderNumber to (LadderNumber + 1)
          end repeat
end tell
I don't see a problem with the script. I suggest adding a dummy table to each sheet and confirming you can set a value in the dummy table from the script (maybe after manually setting the value to some default value). you can also add print dialogs at each step to see what's happening... like:
set aValue to <what ever>
display dialog "The value is: " & aValue
just some thoughts

Business account Pre-order problem/question/help

That is all the information I can get. No one can tell me if its shipped, why it hasn't and why I have not received any more information with tracking or order numbers. Anyone else having this problem? Customer support is WORTHLESS. They can't look anything up and continue to tell me no one's phone has shipped even though I can clearly see on here that is not the case.

Still having problems with sorting playlists

I asked these questions a couple weeks ago with no response.
1. I am trying to create a playlist using the latest version of ITunes that is similar to the Today's Hit Music playlist I set up earlier this summer. The 90s music playlist that came with ITunes and this playlist work fine. However, any new playlists created since the upgrade to ITunes 11 do not. In the above scenario where I set up a playlist that only has one rule and that rule is year is greater than whatever, ITunes refuses to sort the playlist by year then by artist, instead sorting the entire playlist by artist. My Today's Hit Music playlist, on the other hand, sorts with the year on top, so every song that I have allowed in the playlist is sorted by year. For example, B.O.B, Pitbull, Taio Cruz and Usher have songs from 2010 in the playlist. Their songs are all sorted alphabetically by artist, then by album as they should be. Then Pitbull, New Boys, and Hot Chelle Ray all have songs from 2011. Under the old system, these would be right below the songs from 2010, but in the new system they are mixed in with the 2010 songs, so Pitbull could have 2 songs back to back that did not come out in the same year. How can I fix this?
2. I have a playlist set up for songs that are not in any other playlist. I had to recreate this playlist the last time I reset my plays because my phone wouldn't remove the songs that were added to the playlist since its creation from the list when it was supposed to. Now however, I am having the same problem with it as I was having with the last playlist. With the old system before ITunes 11, if What I Want by Daudtrey was the first song in that playlist, it would always be the first song, creating a sound that sounded like it was on shuffle, which I thought was cool. Now, it just sorts alphabetically by artist regardless of when it was played. How can I tell ITunes to not rearrange this playlist and just add all new songs to the end?

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

Can I pick up a pre order made with my sisters name / number??

Simple question. I made two pre orders, both under my sisters phone number and name. Do I need to be with her when I pick up the games.

Hey Mrlaedis,
Evolved is correct: the person whose name is listed on each pre-order is the only person who can pick those items up. The only exception to this would be if you placed both orders on BestBuy.com for store pickup and designated yourself as a Friends & Family pickup option at the time of checkout. For more information though I'd encourage you to refer to our pre-order FAQ:
BestBuy.com > Help Center > Pre-Orders

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 problem with sorting devices in device groups

Hi,
I have a problem with prime infrastructure, namely prime is not doing appropriate sorting of devices in default device groups.
Example: device type > routers > Cisco 2800 series integrated services routers - under shown results there are Cisco 2911 Integrated Service router, Cisco 2901 etc.
Any solution?
Tnx

Cancel the Pre-Order Problem

I Pre-order the JT new albums and I changed my mind and cancel it.
But the album's page still shows that I Pre-order it.
It will be charge and download with my new movies that I will Pre-order soon?
Sorry for some bad grammar.

I too ordered mine on the 9th (@ 2:45 AM) and like you my expected ship date was 2/18. The phone's already been shipped, scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
Like you, I was a little upset about seeing the 2/18 expected ship date after placing my order. Especially seeing that there were no lines at most of the Verizon & Apple stores but alas, it looks like tomorrow's the day.
I'm not sure if you're a new Verizon customer but assuming you are, is there someone in your family who can purchase the phone and service for you, in their name? Then once your issue is resolved with Verizon perhaps you can transfer it to your name?
I'm new to Verizon and not yet fully familiar with their policies. If you do decide to go this route, please call them to make sure that they allow customers to transfer phones/service from one customer to another.

Still having elder scrolls pre order problems

i got a 3 day access instead of the 5 day access i was supposed to get, okay fine. 3 day keys are atached to regular edition versions of the game not the imperial one (which is the one i paid for) now i cant access the imperial race, or my horse... so basically i cant get any of the perks i paid i for............................................................................................................................................ thank you best buy .....

Hello es035,
Thanks for contacting us regarding your pre-order for The Elder Scrolls Online. Imperial Edition pre-orders were supposed to come with a 5-day Early Access code, however we did end up running out of those. We had a limited supply and ended up providing some Imperial Edition customers with 3-day codes as a result. I apologize for any disappointment that this caused.
These codes only grant access to the game ahead of time, the only difference being the number of days. There is no additional content tied to them, and all other Imperial bonuses should be included with the game itself.
Thanks for posting, and please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Pre ordering iphone with other lines upgrade

How would I go about pre ordering the iPhone 4s using another lines upgrade on my plan? Would I be forced to activate in store when the phone arrives?
Basically what I mean, is if I pre-order at Apple.com (there is a form you fill out which takes you to a pricing page depending on if you have an upgrade or not) how would I go about activating the phone on MY NUMBER while using another numbers upgrade? This will be the first time I have pre-ordered a phone (or had one delievered for that matter) so I have no idea how to activate it..

You just purchase the phone on the line that is eligible for an upgrade (thus, using their upgrade and extending THEIR line's contract another 2 years) and when you receive your phone, you will activate it on THEIR line first (this is a very important step) then, you can reactivate their phone on their line, and activate the new iPhone 4S on your line. And you'll be good to go.
Just keep in mind that it will extend the other line's contract, not yours, and you have to activate it on that line first.
This isn't what I was told. I was told to just place the order using the eligible line (my wife's) and when the phone arrives to just activate it using my phone number.
If you do this, you will be charged the full price of the phone. Activating it on the line it was purchased on first accepts the terms of service you sign when you upgrade. If you don't do so, you are charged the full retail price of the phone, because you technically did not accept what you signed

Applying 4G LTE pre-order GC with activation on 2nd line

So i plan on pre-ordering the Evo 4G LTE online, and the offer states the GC should arrive a couple business days later.
My wifes line is eligible for upgrade 06/01, so we were planning on upgrading in store. Best Buy is showing a current promotion for upgrading a Sprint phone to a newer device for $50 credit, and an additional $50 for turn in of a gently used EVO.
If my wife is upgrading from a Hero, can we expect to use the Evo trade-in, Evo pre-order, and the Sprint upgrade credits for her purchase in store?
Thanks,
Alan

Problem with 'sort and filter' feature of embed codes in Excel Online Web App

So my question has to do with the Excel Online feature where you can share a spreadsheet and embed it in a website with the option of allowing users to sort and filter the data. (The option is under the "Interaction" heading.)
One of the options if you look closely is "Let people sort and filter" which is not checked off. In the embed code you can see "AllowInteractivity=False". The problem is that when I check "Let people sort and filter"
the embed code changes completely - going from:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>

If I manually change 'false' to 'true' that doesn't do the trick so I'm not sure what to try next.
Any thoughts?

Problems with sort, search and write objects o an ArrayList

Hi
Lets say that i have two subclasses (the program is not finished so in the end it can be up to 34 classes) of an abstract superclass. I also got one class which basicly is a register in which i've created an ArrayList of the type <abstractClass>. This means that i store the two subclasses in the arrayList. no problems so far i think (at least eclipse doesn't mind).
1. now, i want to be able to sort the arrayList aswell as search thorugh it. I've tried Collections.sort(arrayList) but it doesn't work. So i have no idea how to solve that.
2.The search-method i made doesn't work as good as i hoped for either. I ask the user to first decide what to search for (choose subclass) and then input the same properties as the subclass we search for. I create a new object of the subclass with these inputs and try arrayList.contains(subClassObject)
it runs but it returns +"false"+ even if i create an object with the exact same properties.
3. If i want to write this arrayList to a txtFile so i can import it another time. Which is the best method? first i just thought i'd convert the arrayList to string and then print every single object to a textfile as strings. that worked but i have no good idea how to import that into the same arrayList later. Then i found ObjectOutputStream and import using inputStream.nextObject(). But that doesn't work :(
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Your classes should in that case implement Serializable.

Problem with sorting dates

I am taking date from the user in mm/dd/yyyy in the text field.
Since I am maintaing a document management system,
I need to sort docs with respect to dates. Latest date first.
Can anyone help me how do I do this.
I have to get docs from database(mysql) and I cant use order by ....
Please help

How you enter and what gets stored and what gets displayed are controlled by your formating and can be 3 different things.
If you use an sqldate as a type for the mysql then you have raw date data ( some big integer type). This you push through a format to display.
Calendar work = Calendar.getInstance();
java.sql.Date sqldate = new java.sql.Date(work.getTimeInMillis());String displayDate= sqldate.toString();
gives you todays date in the format yyyy-mm-dd
to use something else see:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/format/simpleDateFormat.html
In the mySQL dates are stored in a sortable format - how they show is NOT how they are stored.
I have dates in mySQL also, I have to display the records in ascending or descending order depending on the module.
Dates are a bitch to work with. You get it working on your local host and then you up load it to your server and it is running with a different date format and everything crashes.
Just wait till they ask for time, it is even worse.
so basically
1- input your date info
2 - tranfrom it into sql date format
3 store it inmysql as a date
4 search it and generate a datset in order of xdate desc
5 read through the data set and format your date for display
