QuickEdit Lookup Column Sort

Hello,
I have the following issue and i would like to understand why it has happened in my enviroment and the solution if its possible.
About enviroment:
Currently running SharePoint 2013 but it was upgraded from SharePoint 2010.
Deployed in a 2 server distribution (DB Server and SHP Server)
Issue:
When the enviroment was in production with the SharePoint 2010 version, we created some lookup fields pointing to the source list title column, in the datasheet view the lookup column dropdown list was sorted alfabetically by the source list title column,
this was very helpful for the end users.
After we upgraded to SharePoint 2013 the same lookup columns dropdown list in the new Quick Edit view (equal to DataSheet view in SHP 2010) are being sorted by the source list ID field despite the the lookup column is lookin to the title field in the list
settings.
Why is this happening? and How can i fix this issue?

Hi Enrique,
Please understand that in SharePoint 2013, lookup column is sorted by ID in "Quick Edit" by design. If you would like to change the order, you would refer to coding help.
Here is a similar thread for your reference, which explains and provides JQuery method to sort the table:

Change Lookup column sort order

I would like to change the default ascending sort order of a Lookup column in a new or edit form to descending. Can this be set via the API?
Thanks
Fred

Hi Fox4,
When you add the lookup column to the list, the look items will be shown as ASC by default. For example, when there are four Lookup columns (“IT”, “FN”,”GN”), they will be shown as the following order: “FN”,”GN”,”IT”. And there is no API to change their
order as far as I Know.
I agree buckenn’s idea. you have to do this using Javascript or JQuery.

Sort alphabetically a lookup column in 'Quick edit'

Hi Everyone,
I've had this problem for a long time now and have not been able to get it working. I have a List with several fields, one of them is a Drop-down list with a lookup field linked to another list called 'Customers' which has two fields 'ID' and 'Customer'.
If I create a 'New Item' the field 'Customer' is sorted alphabetically in ascending order by 'Customer', also in the list it's the same (which is what I want) however if I try to edit with the 'Quick Edit' button the lookup column is not sorted by 'Customer'
but by 'ID' and the users are complaining about this this there are more than 1,000 fields. Funny thing is as I already explained, if you create a 'New Item' or 'Edit Item' it works and is sorted as it should, only the lookup in 'Quick Edit' is sorted
by ID.
I already attempted the following and still no luck. I would very much appreciate the help.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to.
There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
By design in SharePoint, the lookup column is sorted by ID in 'Quick edit'.
When you click the dropdown icon, the HTML Table will be appeared.
You can use JQuery to sort the Table.

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.

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.

Sort lookup column A to Z

Hi,
I have a list with 3 lookup columns to other lists.
When in quick edit, and entering on of the lookup column, when i start to write, the order of the auto complete is not A to Z and it's very hard to find the relevant value. In 2010 it was sorted like that.
Any thoughts?
thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to sort a lookup column alphabetically in “Quick Edit”.
By default, lookup column is sorted by ID in "Quick Edit" in SharePoint 2013.
As a workaround, you can sort the table that appears when clicking the dropdown icon with JQuery.
Here is a similar thread with more details about sort a lookup column alphabetically, you can use it as a reference:

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions
Three scenarios

Steps to create Workflow
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

Modify list view - Group by Lookup column's ID

Hi
I have a main list that has a lookup column. The grouping works fine, but I want the sort order of the group to appear as the way the lookup value's ID is ...
What are the ways to achieve this, I do not want to put a number in front of the values, is there another way to do this

I understand that you don't want to add additional info in front of the lookup column values to keep the value exactly as expected.
as SharePoint 2010 allows to lookup additional fields, I would suggest to lookup the item ID also with the lookup column.
1. create a lookup column lookup your expected list.
2. in the lookup column settings, "Add a column to show each of these additional fields", check "ID" column.
3. group by the list view with the additional ID instead.
There is an issue by doing this step, the groupby title value is the lookup ID column not the original lookup column, as we actually doesn't use the lookup columnn with grouping.
For this, you can use SharePoint Designer to edit the list view, change the groupby row cell to the lookup column value instead.

Setting default value for lookup column in Sharepoint 2013 via powershell

Hi,
when I try to use the 2010 version of setting a default value to a lookup column ( colum.defaultvalue="1;#Open"), this is not longer supported in SharePoint 2013. The defaultvalue is always the alphabetically sorted first entry in the source
list.
How can I change this?
Thanks for any help.
Lutz

Hi Lutz,
You can set the default value of a look-up column. The code is very simple, just need to take care of the code below.
$w = Get-SPWeb http://web
$l = $w.Lists["MyDocumentLibrary"]
$lf = $l.Fields["lookupColumn"]
$i = $l.Items[0] #List item to update
$lf.ParseAndSetValue($i,"1;#lookupvalue") #1;#lookupvalue refers to the ID of the lookup item and the value of the lookup item.
$i.Update()
As another example, if I wanted to update all the items in my document library that had the lookup value
Pending, with the lookup value Complete;
$w = Get-SPWeb http://myweb
$l = $w.Lists["MyDocumentLibrary"]
$lf = $l.Fields["lookupColumn"]
foreach($i in $l.Items)
if($i["lookupColumn"] -eq "1;#Pending")
$lf.ParseAndSetValue($i,"2;#Complete")
$i.Update()

Site lookup columns empty on some subsites.

Hello all,
I have a lookup column that contains employee info from a list stored in the root of the site collection. I called it lkupEmployeeName
On one sub site that is one level down from the root, I have another list that contains projects. The lkupEmployeeName column is used to reference the employee name. This works fine.
I created another subsite one level down from the root and have a list there called equipment. Using the same lkupEmployeeName column there, the column is empty and I get a message stating that the service is not avail right now, click here to try again.
Of course clicking it results in nothing.
I added a new list item to the employee info table to see if the lkupEmployeeName column would update in the projects list and it does. Going to the equipment list in the site next door and it is still empty.
I have tried making another sub site and another lookup column. And for whatever reason any lookup columns I make now only work at the same level that they were created on. If I try to use the column on a different site they are empty.
Looking in SharePoint Manager, I have found the listID and webID attributes to be correct.
I have tried this with service pack one and without service pack one. (I have the machine duplicated in VMware) Either host has the same exact results.
My thoughts are that newly created sub sites are not connecting to the lists properly but I don't know why this is. The correct listID is showing in SharePoint Manager so I am stumped.
Ideas?
fr0stsp1re

Update.
The above mentioned behavior happens if I use SharePoint designer to add site lookup columns to the list.
I just tried to add the site lookup columns by going to the list settings using the web interface and the lookup columns work fine. Apparently there is some sort of bug with the designer as I tried the same steps from another machine and it did the same
thing. There must be some sort of data missing that is not getting saved when I save the list through SharePoint Designer.
For now I will mark this thread as answered but I would still like to know the cause of this behavior if anyone else has any input.

External Data Lookup Column View

Hey all,
I have a list with lookup column that points to an external content source called 'Manufacturer'.
When I click the picker to choose what Manufacturer Item I want, I only need to see the Manufacturer Column, but the default view is showing ALL of the columns in that database. It's also sorting by the ID - I need it to sort by manufacturer.
How can I change the view of this picker box? Is it being rendered by an XML file somewhere?
Thank you,
Justin

Hi,
As there is no such OOTB feature can meet your requirement, a workaround is that we can customize the Picker.aspx to hide the unwanted column using JavaScript.
By default, the
Picker.aspx locates here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS

Unable to capture the adf table column sort icons using open script tool

Hi All,
I am new to OATS and I am trying to create script for testing ADF application using open script tool. I face issues in recording two events.
1. I am unable to record the event of clicking adf table column sort icons that exist on the column header. I tried to use the capture tool, but that couldn't help me.
2. The second issue is I am unable to capture the panel header text. The component can be identified but I was not able to identify the supporting attribute for the header text.

Disbaling a value of a lookup column not to display the underlying record

I have a lokup column to a different list.
So, when it displays the record the data is displayed in hyperlinked way so that when we click on the hyperlink, it will take us to the view form of that record in a different list.
Could you please let me know, how do we make the hyperlinkdisplay as normal text just like any other column other than the title column value.
tnx

Hi,
Thanks for posting your issue, To remove your Hyperlink for lockup column you need to replace below tag
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@mycolumn"/>
By:
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="substring-after(substring-before(substring-after(@mycolumn, 'ID='), '<'), '>')"/>

Hi
XantosX5 ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint Server 2013 environment.
I create a lookup column in a list and create a workflow 2013 for the list. In the workflow, I add Send an email action. Then I display the lookup column in the body of the email as the below figure:
When I start the workflow, it works fine.
Have you installed
the workflow manager 1.0 cumulative update 1 ? It can be the point. If not, please install it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Workflows and Lookup Columns

Interactive Report wide Column Sorting hangs in Internet Explorer

I have an application that contains an interactive report. The Column Sorting and Filtering functions work fine in Firefox. However, if I try to sort a wide (110 byte - it contains a hyperlink) column in Internet Explorer, APEX produces the 'loading data' image and then hangs. Even a sort of a narrow (3 byte) column is noticeably slower in Internet Explorer than in Firefox.
We are running APEX 3.1.1 on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

Hello,
I answer you over your post.
