Query data in reverse order

I'm trying to query data in reverse order of an attribute in the table. Anyone got idea how to do this?
Thanks.
null

The reverse order can be obtained by:
SELECT * from tableName ORDER BY - tableName.mydate;
null

Retrieving rows in reverse order

Hi all,
I wish to retrieve row data in reverse order. Iam not retrieving the data in any particular sorting order, i just want a simple reversal of rows returned for eg.
say initially data returned is
Name Age
abc 20
bbb 25
ccc 19
ddd 22
I want it as
Name Age
ddd 22
ccc 19
bbb 25
abc 20

The order of rows isn't random, but it is arbitrary. While it is probable that "select * from emp" will return rows in the same order today as it did yesterday, Oracle is certainly under no obligation to do so. If there are any changes to the table-- new rows, deleted rows, modified rows, table reorganization, etc.-- if there are changes to the statistics for the tables, or if there are changes to the database, the order rows will be returned in will change. Changes to the Oracle version might change the order rows are returned in as well.
While it is unlikely to happen in practice, it would be prefectly legal for Oracle to return rows in exactly the same order for both of Laurent's queries. In practice, they are reasonably likely to return rows in the opposite order most of the time.

Trying to print the date arrays in reverse order....

Hi,
I'm trying to print the dates in the arrays in reverse order using the for loop, but its not working and i think ive got something in the wrong order perhaps the constructor or method. Or do i need to define 'a', because i tried it and i couldn't unless, probably because i was putting the wrong code for it.
Thanks for your help
public class Array
public static void main(String[] args)
          a[0] = new Date(2, " January ", 2005)
          a[1] = new Date(3, " February ", 2005)
          a[2] = new Date(21, " March ", 2005)
          a[3] = new Date(28, " April ", 2005)
                               printDate();
class Date
public int day;
public String month;
public int year;
public Date(int d, String m, int y)
    day = d;
    month = m;
    year = y;
public void printDate()
for (int i = a.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
              System.out.println(a);

I don't see where this 'a' variable is declared anywhere, so what did you expect it to do? Also, you can't just call Date's printDate method from your Array class like that. You really need to start with the java tutorials or take a course. The forums aren't going to effectively teach you the very basics.

Query for displaying columns in reverse order ?

Hi All,
I want to select/display all the columns of a table in reverse order. The no. of columns is arbitrary.
Can anyone please help me on this.\
Regards
-AKJ

apart from the physical data store implementation,
are columns actually guaranteed ordering ? Guaranteed.... probably not, but they are in the data dictionary in the order in which they are created, so are known to be consistent in that respect.
I don't think it's correct to refer to C(1)...C(n) ,
they are just columns, there's no particular reason
why one should come first or lastLikewise, I don't see the point in selecting columns out in a particular order unless you're trying to spool the output to a file.

Check whether you have data for "Residual order plan" in 0PS_C04.

How to write data at the end of doc in reverse order?[CS6-jsx]

I need to move all my spec texts entries at et end of doc. To keep correct reference in all found entries i have to process in reverse order

Hi,
I think what you are doing is the code below.
you should fix using
findGrep(true) => true is 'reverse order' option
and move()
var dummy = "Um veles 1.eatiorum et alic tem 2.quibusda nit volest, to corion conserum rem ipsanitate verores sequiduciat la demquis 3.inctorem ellestem reptis a et offic tem quidel earcide bissere mpellorerit ipsaecearios 4.volorrovid earchit omnitat atquatus aut quam nimet idelluptatum quis aut lam quo 5.ipsapiciis se simus autem fugias esto et et volupti to eum rem reius nobitatur aut evelis rae arumque lanihilicia sapitiam volorep ellupta volupta aut qui rendia doluptusam am necatur?

var doc = app.documents.add();
var tf = doc.textFrames.add({geometricBounds: ["10mm","10mm","100mm", "80mm"], contents:dummy});
var st = tf.parentStory;
var find_grep_obj = {
findWhat : "\\d+\\.[^\\s]+"
with(app.findChangeGrepOptions){
includeFootnotes            = false;
includeHiddenLayers         = false;
includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
includeMasterPages          = false;
kanaSensitive               = true;
widthSensitive              = true;
var match = grep_find(doc, find_grep_obj);
function grep_find(target_obj, find_grep_obj){
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.properties = find_grep_obj;
var result = target_obj.findGrep(true); //=> reverse order [..., "3.inctorem","2.quibusda", "1.eatiorum"]
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
return result;
var i = match.length;
while (i--) {
st.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\r";
match[i].move(LocationOptions.AT_END, st);
thank you.

Hi 404116,
Here's another method :
1. After you have queried the Block-3 <Subject Block> you have the Student-id from Block-2 which you can use to query the Block-1.
-- I will use the following code to query the Block-1
1. Check the Block Status of Block-1. As you have queried the Block-3 and Not Block-1, the Block Status of Block-1 should not be 'QUERY'.
2. If status of Block-1 is not 'QUERY' And
status of Block-2 is 'QUERY'
Then
/* The query process is reverse from Block-3 first */
2a. Use the Set_Block_Property Built-In to define the Where Condition for the Block-1.
Where column to Query = : Block-2.Student Id
2b. Remove the Relation between Block1 and Block-2 at Run Time.
2c. Go_Block ('Block-1');
Clear_Block (No_Validate);
Execute_Query;
And Remember,
1. To remove the Where Condition set in Block-1 when you query from Block-1 first
2. And re-define the MD relation from Block-1 to Block-2

SSRS report not displaying data in correct order

Guys,
I have a SSRS 2012 report not displaying returned records from SQL in the correct order. Running the stored procedure in SSMS and supplying the parameter values returns the data correctly and running Query Designer in SSRS using the stored procedure
on the dataset in question, likewise returns the data correctly. Only when I run the actual report does the data display incorrectly(always last name order). I've done similar reporting using very similar stored procedures and I've never had this
problem. Below is the stored procedure. "@SortBy" is the parameter with the sorting value. 1=Due Date; 2=Denial Amt and 3=Last name and is passed by SSRS to SQL. Wish I could supply screen shots.
Thanks for any help,
Dave

Hi DaveMac1960,
According to your description, when you render data in report, you find it always shows the data with unexpected order. Right?
In Reporting Services, if we don't set any sorting in tablix, it will order the data as your query in SSMS or Query Builder. In some scenario, for example, we add parent group for data rows, it will have the rows sort by the group on data field by default,
and the "order by" in your query will be ignored. So please check the Sorting tab in Tablix Properties, in this scenario, we suggest you delete any sorting in the Sorting tab so that the "Order By" clause can work.
Reference:
Sort Data in a Data Region (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Just purchased a new iMac and transferred all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow is displays the pictures in reverse order.

Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow it displays the pictures in reverse order.

There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album. The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually. Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.

How to sort data in descending order when user clicks on the column heading

Hi
I have a report called "Top customers", which shows the top customers for a specific product line. It displays the customer name and one column with the total amount spent in the period for each product line. By default, the leftmost product line is sorted in descending order.
If the user wants to know who are the top customers for another product line, they simply click on the column heading to sort the list by that column.
The problem is that when you click for the first time on a sortable column heading, Apex sorts it in ascending order; you need to click on the same column heading again to sort in descending order.
Is it possible to change this behaviour and sort the data in descending order in the first click? So the users don't have to click twice...
Thanks
Luis
PS: Apex 3 running on Oracle 10.2.0

Luis,
See: Can I "catch" a click on a sortable column header of a report?
Take a look at Anton Nielsen's answer with regards to hiding a column and displaying its value instead of the sortable column.
Asumming the following simple report query:
select product,sales
from <table>
Change that into:
select product
,sales*-1 as reverse_sales -- Select this one as an extra column
,sales -- Hide this column
from <table>
In your report column attributes (of column reverse_sales), html-expression, type #sales#. It then displays the normal sales. However apex will generate a 'order by 2 asc' for the first time. The '2' will refer to the sales*-1 value: sorting it asc, is the same as sorting sales descending...

When downloading updates from iTunes to my iPhone my playlists appear in reverse order with least played at the top. I just want the playlist to appear in the same order as my iTunes library. This seems to have changed after downloading iCloud

When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
and most played at the end on the playlist.
Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.

Hi Jim,
Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.

Export Query Data to Excel

Hey guys, I have a cfm page that I am using to query data, and the result set is displayed on the same page when a user clicks submit.
My question is, I would like to create a clickable icon where, after a user runs the query and the data table displays, I want the user to be able to click a little Excel icon that will allow them to download the data in Excel.
So, a user clicks on a little icon somewhere on the page and IE or Firefox or whatever pops up a little dialog box asking them if they want to OPEN or SAVE the file results.xls. How can I do this?
Here is my current code, but where do I implement the cfoutput stuff to export? On the same page?
<cfquery name="qActivity" datasource="khamp" result="resultInfo">
     SELECT KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT, KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.DES1, KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY,
    SUM (KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.AMOUNT) AS "TotalAmt"
     FROM KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT, KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL
    WHERE 0=0
    <cfif Form.Entity IS NOT "">
          AND KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY = '#Form.Entity#'
     </cfif>
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCTG_DATE <= '#Form.asofday#-#Form.asofmonth#-#Form.asofyear#'
    <cfif Form.accountnum IS NOT "">
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT = '#Form.accountnum#'
    </cfif>
    AND KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT=KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT
    GROUP BY
KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT,
KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ACCOUNT,
KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.DES1,
KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.ENTITY
     HAVING SUM(KHAMELEON.GL_DETAIL.AMOUNT)<>0
     ORDER BY KHAMELEON.GL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT ASC
     </cfquery>
<cfif resultInfo.Recordcount eq 0>
    No Records Match the Search Criteria.
    <cfelse>
    <hr/>
    <br/>
    <table border="1" class="displaytable">

        <tr>
           <th>Account</th>
           <th>Description</th>
           <th>Entity</th>
           <th>Book 1</th>
      </tr>

      <cfoutput query="qActivity">
      <tr>
        <td>#qActivity.ACCOUNT#</td>
        <td>#qActivity.DES1#</td>
        <td>#qActivity.ENTITY#</td>
        <td style="text-align:right">#NumberFormat('#qActivity.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
      </tr>
      </cfoutput>
I got the following code off of a thread in the forum, but it trys to download the excel file as soon as the query is run (the excel download doesn't work though, it trys to download the actual cfm page instead):
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="inline; filename=tb.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
<table border="2">
<tr>
<td> Account </td><td> Description </td><td> Entity </td><td> Book1 </td>
</tr>
<cfoutput query="qActivity">
<tr>
<td>#qActivity.ACCOUNT#</td><td>#qActivity.DES1#</td><td>#qActivity.ENTITY#</td><td>#NumberFormat('#qActivity.TotalAmt#', "_(999,999,999.99)")#</td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>
</cfcontent>
Thanks guysq

To actually get the data into excel, google "cold fusion excel poi" and look for Ben Nadel's cfc. Otherwise you might have issues with Office 2007.
For the icon or whatever, make your query a session variable. Then have the icon link to either a self closing popup or a very small iframe that exports the query to an excel file and then uses cfcontent to download it to the user.

Thumbnails in reverse order in Icon view

When I look at a folder full of picture thumbnails in Finder, in Icon view, and select Keep Arranged by Date Modified, or Date Created, they appear in the reverse order, with the most recent at the top. In the other views (list, cover flow etc.) they appear in the order I want them, with the most recent at the bottom. How can I correct this?
Richard

Setting 'Arrange by date order' toggles between oldest and newest first in List and Cover flow view on mine.
Icon view and column view don't change from newest first.
Arrange by name toggles on list and cover flow view too..

Query data source type = procedure or from clause

1)I have a form where a block is based on a from clause. In the source name I entered a simple sql statement.
Isn't the items suppose to show without any other action or
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO SEE THE BLOCK ITEMS EQUIVALENT TO THE COLUMNS IN THE QUERY?
2) I have a form where a block is based on a procedure.
First I created a package in a program unit with the procedures query_procedure, insert_procedure, update_procedure, delete_procedure and lock_procedure.
Then I set the query data source name to the package query_procedure. The columns and arguments were automatically filled by Forms - they are fine as well.
Forms automatically created the block triggers insert-procedure,delete-procedure, update-procedure and lock-procedure.

     for i in 1..dmlset.count loop
          delete from emp where empno = dmlset(i).empno;

end delete_procedure;
END;

for ur q1:
create the text items manually in the layout editor or in the obj navigator then specify there properties manually in the the pallette.
database item = yes
column name = field name in ur select statement
for q2:
try running the form again and press F8 then if an error occur press F1 or shift F1 to show the error in ur code.
i suspect u forgot to specify a value for the in parameter the reason why u get an error that is specify the actual parameter for ur in argument then press F8.
enjoy!
