Persisting(MDS) Sort Order for af:column

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I would want to persist the sort order of a Rich column using MDS.
Can I persist the ascending /descending order of a Rich Column into MDS ?
Thanks and Regards

Todd,
Not knowing what you're trying to sort, it is difficult to make specific suggestions. Basically, two approaches come to mind. 1) start the lines of the column you want to sort with some type of sort code or 2) place that sort code in another column and sort on two columns - possible hiding the one with the codes.
The next problem is designing a code that fits your situation. In the example you gave something like 1L-,2L,3L,...,8H,9H may work because there are only 9 categories. If more than 9, two digit numbers may work but remember to use leading zeros to pad single digit numbers.
The code could also be alpha characters with relevance such as "Auto", "Clot", "Food", "Hous", "Misc", etc. But again, if these alphabetic categories are not in the order you like you may have to precede them with some sequence device to get what you want. Maybe something like "aFood", "bClot", "cHous", etc. would work. Designing a code applicable to a given situation that one can easily remember is not always easy.
Hope this gives to something to think about and if you care to give more details you'll surely get some specific suggestions.

  • Controlling the sort order for a column?

    I have a column which uses strings that I want to sort on. But, I don't want to do simple string sorting. Can I effect the sort order somehow? Maybe enumerate the values and assign integers to them?
    For example, I want to use Low, Medium, and High. Or maybe: L-, L, L+, M-, M, M+, H-, H, H+
    Any pointers on how to do this?

  • Default column sort order for 11g table

    Could anyone give me some indication on how I would go about setting the default sort order for a table?
    I have a table with a few columns, and dataset returns in a particular order, but my table decides to sort if in any given order until I manually click on the column header and sort it.
    I would like to have it done by default on a particular field.
    Any info is appreciated.
    Thanks

    As Chris says, the easiest way and best re-use way is to use the order-by clause in your underlying model layer SQL query. For instance in ADF BC this would be in a View Object's query.
    However as you haven't dictated your model layer technology, there is another way in JDev 11g. In your web page that contains the ADF Faces RC table, select the binding tab at the bottom of the page, then double click on the iterator in the binding page, and in the Edit Iterator Binding dialog, select the Sort Criteria tab. This allows you to override the sort order on the iterator's columns.

  • Sort Order for Legend and X Axis

    Does anyone know of a way to keep a specific sort order for both the X Axis and the Legend. Both start with numbers and I can get one or the other to sort correcly on the chart but not both. Biggest problem is not all of the legend items are in the first X Axis item so the colors change on the bar graph depending on the legend items in the first X Axis item.

    If you tie bar colors with values, how you will differentiate the bars for different legends.
    Take an example, there are three columns Employee, Location and salery have following values
    Employee Location Salery
    A London 30000
    B Chicago 40000
    C London 50000
    D Chicago 60000
    if we keep Location as Legend and Employee in X Axis, and sort Legend first then Employee. Set Blue for Chicago and Red for London, First two blue bars for A and C will be displayed and then two red bars for B and D will be displayed. Order in X axis will be A,C,B and D. This is not in sequence but this is the way it will and it should work. If you sort by Employee instead if Location, you will get sequence in X axis, but the same colored bars wont be together.

  • Default Sort Order for Library View

    It would be fantastic if there were a user defined preference for a default sort order in Library view. For example, some users may prefer to always view the images by File Name, or Rating, etc, without having to change the sort order for each individual folder they view via Lightroom.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion Allan, but it doesn't work.
    I'm specifically referring to the defaults that Aperture 3 adopts when you use the "File, Import, Folders as Projects with the projects and albums setting.
    What I'm finding is regardless of the setting in the Library preferences, the default sort order for the project is Date and Manual for the album.
    Yet if I create a project manually the default sort order is as per the Library prefs. Strange.

  • Sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin)

    FrameMaker 10 (Windows)
    It seems that if I specify the sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin) on the reference page,
    index entries that start with "i" and "v" are not shown under their corresponding group titles.
    (I assume that this may be due to the fact that pinyin words never start with these letters.)
    If I have an entry that starts with an English word like "IP," it appears under the "J" group.
    I want the entry to appear under the "I" group. How can I do this?
    I have the IX reference page set up as follows:
    GroupTitlesIX paragraph
    Symbols[\];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$pinyin>
    I've also tried:
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$pinyin>
    Thanks in advance.

    I sort of found a workaround, but it may lead to other problems, so use it at your own risk.
    It also requires a bit of work.
    The idea is to use the sort order for Japanese by specifying the following in the IX reference page.
    Symbols[\ ];数字[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;あ;い;う;え;お;か;き;く;け;こ;さ;し;す;せ;そ ;た;ち;つ;て;と;な;に;ぬ;ね;の;は;ひ;ふ;へ;ほ;ま;み;む;め;も;や;ゆ;よ;ら;り;る;れ;ろ;わ;ん;[　]
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$kana>
    Then, you need to capitalize the first letter in the bracket used for sorting for every index entry.
    Example:
    Instead of
    画面[hua4mian4]
    specify
    画面[Hua4mian4]
    Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to do a search and replace on all index entries to capitalize the first letter...

  • Control of sort order for asian language navigation

    I am a help writer who is working with both development and a localization vendor to create localized javahelp. I am the most knowledgeable about javahelp, which is not saying much. It has come to me to figure out how to establish the correct sort order for Simplified Chinese and Japanese language Index and Glossary navigators, Could someone explain to me how this is done outside of tools like RoboHelp (which has caused us major headaches yet seems to be the only way the vendor knows how to do JavaHelp). In layman's terms, please.

  • Sort Order for a VARCHAR2 Column

    Hello Everyone,
    This is probably quite simple, however I cannot see it. I am trying to sort on a varchar2 column that has numbers, text, dashes, tildes, carets and underscores which are mixed to compose a wire number. I have come up with an order by that changes the sort order from alpha to numeric satisfying one portion of the requirement.
    select wirenbr,fromitem "from",frompin,diagnbr,sht,toitem,topin,effect
    from acft_wires
    order by decode(to_char(nvl(length(translate(wirenbr,'A1234567890','A')),0)),'0',lpad(wirenbr,18),wirenbr);
    The select returns:
    1
    2
    3
    20
    21
    200
    201
    1000
    A
    ADT1
    AEN1
    AE1
    AE9
    AFA
    B
    1A
    2U7230A-ZZ
    2000A
    213-22
    22X100A20
    220-11
    The customer preferred sort looks like:
    1
    2
    3
    10
    10A
    11
    200
    201
    201-01
    202
    1000
    1000A
    1001
    I will build a shrine in my hall of honor to this forum if someone can point me in the right direction on how to solve this problem.
    Thanks everyone for your help.

    ok, start with this
    order by
    translate(substr(wirenbr,1,1),'1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-','0000000000ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ')
    , nvl(length(substr(wirenbr,1,instr(translate(wirenbr,'1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-','1234567890XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'),'X')-1)),length(wirenbr))
    , to_number(translate(wirenbr,'1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-','123456789000000000000000000000000000'))
    First, all that start with number go to the beginning and all that start with a letter go to the end.
    Next, sort by the length of the first numerical part, as per Al's first solution.
    Next, sort by the numerical part.
    I started getting what I think is the right sort by that point. However, I think that you'll also have to add
    stuff to sort by the alpha part, mine was
    , NVL(RTRIM(LTRIM(wirenbr,'0123456789'),'0123456789'),0)
    The biggest problem I see is all of the different number-letter-number
    number-letter-number-letter formats. How many levels of recursion you'll have to go through to get it perfectly sorted, could you have ZZ999ZZ99Z9Z9Z9Z99?
    Any ideas for breaking this value up?

  • Default Column Sort Order For KM iViews

    By default, the KM iViews we're using sorts the documents within a folder based on the filename in descending order.  Is there a way that I can change the default sort order to be the Modified Column in reverse chronological order?
    Any help on this matter is appreciated.

    This can be done in the colection renderer of the iview's layout set. Simplye enter the property you want to sort on in 'Property for Sorting' field and 'Sorting Mode' as descending or ascending.
    The 'sorting Mode' option is only visible in the advanced mode. 

  • Sort Order of Lookup Column

    I have a list with look-up columns. 
    In particular, 'Market' is a look-up column, pulling the 'Title' column from a document library.
    The issue I have is that the 'Market' look-up column contents are not listed in alphabetical order when selecting the menu to sort/filter, however, they are in alphabetical order
    in the library they are being pulled from.... 
    What controls the sort behavior of look-up column contents?
    UPDATE: I have discovered that, by grouping the View by any column, the error disappears. Although this might be a work-around and provide context to an eventual solution, this is not a solution. 
    UPDATE 2: The key seems to be multi-value columns OR System Column (TYPE), require grouping to display sort order correctly. 
    Filtering by the type column (Type = xls ~ 7 items) does
    NOT resolve the issue 
    Filtering by the type column (Type = xls ~ 7 items)
    AND Grouping by
    single-value lookup column (Year = 2012 ~4 items) does resolve the issue.
    Filtering by a single-value lookup column  (Year = 2012 ~ 1001 items) does resolve the issue 
    Filtering by a multi-value lookup column (Sector = Residential ~ 418 items) does
    NOT resolve the issue
    Filtering by a multi-value lookup column (Sector = Residential ~ 418 items)
    AND Grouping by
    single-value lookup column (Year = 2010 ~96 items) does resolve the issue.
    - Rick

    Here is a way that worked for me.  I had a lookup column from a list to a document library.  When I opened the form up it sorted by title.  I created a new Data Connection in Infopath editing the list.  When I created the Data connection
    it gave me options which fields in the data connection and the ability to sort based on a field.  I then just pointed my drop down list to point to the new data connection.  This worked on ipad as well as IE9.  No code required and my google
    searching did not find this simple solution so putting here.
