SharePoint 2010 List View with Group By is Not Sorting Correctly

My organization has a list in SharePoint 2010 that is being used as a FAQ. The list contains the following columns:
Question-  Single line of text 
Answer-  Multiple lines of text 
Priority-  Number 
Priority is the importance of the question and is a unique integer number. Higher Priority questions are to be displayed at the top of the list.
A view has been created to display the Question and Answer columns, grouped by Question, and sorted by Prioity. The problem is that the SharePoint is not sorting by priority. I have added display of Priority and embedded a screen capture showing the order
going non sequentially from 1,005 to 1,024 to 1,015.
Is this a known defect? Is there a workaround? Are there other options?
Regards,
Darian.

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test. I can reproduce your issue.
Per my test, I come up with a conclusion.
When we group by Question, the list view is be grouped. Then we sort by Priority, actually it is only sort the item within a group rather than the entire list.
So the items inside of different groups out of order is normal.

  • SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

    Hi there,
    Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Per my knowledge,
    it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
    You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
    Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

    Hi JayJT,
    The Miscellaneous is located in the contact list that you used for the connection.
    So , you need to edit the page, then edit the contact list that you used, in the web part properties of the contact list, you will find Miscellaneous, then expand it and select ‘Server Render’ .
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • SharePoint 2010 list view web part not showing conditional formatting

    when I create conditional formatting in custom list is working fine & when it call through web part page (Data view web part) conditional formatting not showing. data is showing without conditional formatting.
    Dinuka M.

    When you use conditional formatting on some page it is writing inline CSS codes inside that page. thats why when you create a new page and add the same web part to that page, you must edit that page to apply conditional formatting to that
    web part.
    Best Regards, Mustafa Yılmaz MCITP, MCPD | www.mustafa-yilmaz.org | www.sharepointciyiz.biz
    When you say edit the page, do you mean edit it in SharePoint Designer, or in SharePoint itself. And is it a case of just editing, then saving the page and it will apply the conditional formatting, or is there a specific property you need to edit, and if so,
    what is it?

  • SharePoint 2010 List View Web Part not showing for read-only users?

    Hello all,
    I have List View Webparts on my Blank Web Part page, and it's not showing for Read-Only users.
    Is this intended by Microsoft or is it a bug?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the read only user could not see the list view web part.
    Per my knowledge, the issue may be cause that the user do not have the proper permission for the list.
    1. Check whether the user can access the list.
    2. Check whether the user can view all the items instead of partial items in the list.
    3. Check whether there are some fields refer to other lists or terms, especially the lookup field or managed metadata filed.
         If that is the case, make sure the user can access the lookup list.
    Thanks,

  • PowerPivot in SharePoint 2010 - Refresh Excel with Data Feed does not work

    Dear all,
    I created a PowerPivot chart out of a SharePoint exported list to Data Feed.
    I then published it to a trusted Document Library.
    The Chart is working well but is not updating.
    So if I go to the document library and on the drop down meny of the publsihed excel file I choose Manage PowerPivot Data Refresh and force it to refresh, it fails with the following error message>
    Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID

    Hi Gonçalo,
    The error message shows that the account didn't have sufficient permission access to the data source(SharePoint List data feed). PowerPivot data refresh is performed by Analysis Services server instances in the SharePoint farm, we may need to grant the
    account running SQL Server Analysis Services (POWERPIVOT)
    Read permissions to the SharePoint list we are attempting to refresh.
    In addition, the external data sources that are accessed during data refresh must be available and the credentials you specify in the schedule must have permission to access those data sources.
    For more information, please take a look at the following article:
    Schedule a Data Refresh:

  • How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

    How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
    I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
    another one with all users.
    I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
    Thanks
    sz

    While
    the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
    information that are already in the system?  Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list. 
    Here’s our plan:
    Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
    Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
    Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
    Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
    Let’s get going!  Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer.  I also want to give credit Laura
    Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
    Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step.  I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
    So obviously we need a contacts list.  If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
    From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
    So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010.  Let’s add our elements to the form. 
    Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
    Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon.  This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
    Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above.  With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon. 
    Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
    You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
    We should end up with something like this:
    Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
    Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
    Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
    For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL.  Click Next.
    Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
    For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName.  Click Next.
    Click Next on the next two screens.
    On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
    Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
    Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
    Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
    Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
    In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
    Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom.  At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
    (Secondary) option.  Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName.  Click ok. 
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
    connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW.  At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form).  Expand this, then pc:Person,
    and highlightAccountId.  Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
    If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user.  So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for.  We take the AccountID field from the people
    picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection. 
    Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
    In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
    We’re closing in on our goal.  Let’s see our progress.  We should see something like this:
    Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form.  The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate.  We need to add an action step for
    each field.  I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields.  Let’s update the Job Title field.
    Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Highlight the field Job Title.
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
    drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option.  Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field.  Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
    Data button, then Add. 
    For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group.   The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
    under PropertyData.  Click Ok. 
    In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text.  Then type the text Title. 
    Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane.  The last previous screen will look like this.
    We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory.  You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc.  For the other fields, the
    steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change.  Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
    We’re all done, good work!  You can preview the form and try it now.  Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form.  Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library.  Click File –> Quick
    Publish.  Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
    Now open your form in SharePoint.  From the contact list, click Add new item.  Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

  • Sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions

    sharepoint 2013 list view quick edit does not work with out remote API permissions.
    When I give Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site it works which is not an ideal situation..
    MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

    This is true. If you use Fiddler to watch the requests from the list view quick edit you can see CSOM calls. For example when changing a value in a cell, when you tab out you will see the SetFieldValue and Update method calls on the list item.

  • Move sharepoint 2010 list to 2013 with lookup columns

    Hi all,
    Iam planning to move my sharepoint 2010 list to 2013.I done this using save site as template.But the look up columns are showing empty data.Can u please let me know the best solution to do this.
    Regards,
    Praveen

    The reason the lookup column doesn’t work anymore in your SharePoint 2013 list is because Save
    Site as Template, preserve all the list settings. Therefore, the lookup column still points to the original list which
    was located on your SharePoint 2010 list. The lookup column stores GUID of the web, list, and the field to which it points
    and GUID are unique IDs that identifies a list/library/site/feature in a farm.
    Using SharePoint Manager you can find the LookupList, LookupWebId and LookupField of
    your old SharePoint 2010 lookup column and compare it with your new 2013 lookup column. You will see the difference.
    There are two approach to get your values in lookup again.
    1(a). Create a new list and update the lookup values.
    1(b). Delete the lookup column and create a new lookup column and point it to the new list created in the above point.
    2. Update the SchemaXml property
    of the lookup column through SharePoint Manager.
    I will provide you with a good reference on how to use SharePoint Manager while managing your lookup columns. http://blog.johnsworkshop.net/moving-lists-with-lookup-columns-inside-your-site-collection/

  • Excel like 'Freeze column header' functionality in sharepoint OOB list view webpart

    Hi,
    I have OOB external list dropped on a page as listview webpart. It contains many records and hence while scrolling down headers are no available, hence it should freeze all column headers while scrolling down the page. Its directly dragged and dropped
    on site page hence no server side formatting can be done.
    Is there any way we can apply some client side script to freeze column headers to listview webpart while scrolling down? or any settings that can be done to acheive this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,
    Normal techniques for freezing the header row of an HTML table tend to fall short when it comes to SharePoint 2010 lists due to the lack of THEAD elements.
    You can try something like this, although you may want to test it in various browsers in case the column heading alignment is off.
    <style>
    .ms-viewheadertr{background-color:white;}
    </style>
    <script>
    /* wrap the table in a div, set its height, give it scrollbars, and move it down */
    var myTable = document.querySelector(".ms-listviewtable");
    var wrapperDiv = document.createElement('div');
    wrapperDiv.setAttribute("ID","FreezePaneWrapper");
    wrapperDiv.setAttribute("style","OVERFLOW: auto; HEIGHT: 400px; padding-top:38px;");
    wrapperDiv.appendChild(myTable.cloneNode(true));
    myTable.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapperDiv,myTable);
    /* Freeze the header row and move it up*/
    var headerRow = document.querySelector(".ms-viewheadertr");
    document.getElementById("FreezePaneWrapper").style.width = "" + headerRow.scrollWidth + "px";
    headerRow.style.width = "" + headerRow.scrollWidth + "px";
    headerRow.style.position = "absolute";
    headerRow.style.top = ""+(headerRow.offsetTop-39)+"px";
    /* Tell the header's columns to be the same width as the cells in the first "alternating" row */
    var columns = document.querySelector("table.ms-listviewtable tr.ms-alternating").querySelectorAll("tr>td");
    headers = document.querySelectorAll("tr.ms-viewheadertr th");
    for(var i = 0; i < headers.length; i++){
    if(columns[i].scrollWidth > headers[i].scrollWidth){
    headers[i].style.width = ""+columns[i].scrollWidth + "px";
    }else{
    columns[i].style.width = ""+headers[i].scrollWidth + "px";
    </script>
    Edit: Also, you may want to inspect the HTML attributes on the external list view to be sure the class names match up with the querySelector parameters above. Specifically, the table should have a class of "ms-listviewtable", the header row should
    have a class of "ms-viewheadertr", and rows of alternating background color should have a class of "ms-alternating".
    If any of those are different in your case, you may be able to adjust the above code accordingly.

  • Unknow error occured while Updating Mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list

    1- once you are done with creating MPP file save as .MPP file Type in all files and store in the same site where you would like to view/see.
    3- create new project task.
    4- now open the file and start syncing give the site name only  there you will get a drop of your project task in second column which you just created.
    5- validate and start syncing .
    NOTE :- whenever you are making any modification in file make sure that you haacve saved the file  by slecting as .MPP  in all file & stored in the same site .

  • Update item in SharePoint 2010 list when a entry made in SQL server

    Hi there,
    I have four lists on a SharePoint 2010 site. There is a column - Equipment Name - in each of the lists. I want only this column to be updated in all the lists, when a new entry is made in SQL server.
    I referred
    http://oszakiewski.net/eric/connecting-a-sharepoint-2010-list-to-external-database-table and found it good, however I want to only update one column and not to perform CRUD. Also, can it be possible to achieve this without referring to Central Administration
    settings?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Let’s verify the following:
    Whether your four lists are external list with SQL Server data source. If not, you can’t sync the list with SQL Server.
    External list items are sync from data source, they keep sync all the time.
    Whether you aren’t want to perform CRUD in the list. You can select some of them instead of using all of them.
    You can create all of the column from the four lists in your SQL Server database table, and then create four external lists with that table as data source.
    Modify view-> in each external list check the columns which you want display in every list. Then you can update the “Equipment” column in each external list.

  • Web Database for existing Sharepoint 2010 List

    I would like to create an Access Web Database based on a list that already exists in my SharePoint site. Is this possible?

    Hi Adam,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to create an Access database using an existing SharePoint list.
    In SharePoint lists, there is a button called "Open with Access". You can synchronize the data in a SharePoint list with Access 2010 by using the Open with Access command in the list ribbon. This command creates an Access table linked to the SharePoint
    list, and a supplementary UserInfo table that contains additional information, such as user names, accounts, and e-mail addresses.
    You can also link a table to an existing SharePoint List by using the SharePoint List command in the Import & Link group on the External Data tab.
    More information about Access and SharePoint, you can refer to the link:

  • SharePoint 2010 Datasheet view problem - Office 2007 database engine download not fixing the issue

    We rolled out new laptops (Dell Latitude E7440)/desktops with 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Office 2013 a couple of weeks ago. We installed the 2007 Access Database Engine to enable Datasheet views on our SharePoint 2010 site for our employees, and it worked
    before Thanksgiving. However, after the holiday, datasheet view is not working for anyone. I have my old 64-bit Dell laptop with 64-bit Office 2010/2007 Access Database Engine, and it still works there.
    I have tried the x86 2007 Access Database Engine, the 2010 Access Database Engine, the Office 2013 Access Runtime, with 32-bit and 64-bit IE (trying any combinations to see if I can get datasheet views to work).
    The one obvious difference is the new laptops have Office 2013. Has anyone run into this before, and is there a solution when the standard 2007 Access Database Engine download does not fix the datasheet view problem?

    Coworker figured it out. After the 2007 Access Database Engine is installed, go to Internet Explorer, Tools menu --> Compatibility View Settings, and add your SharePoint website to the list. Your SharePoint datasheet list views should start working
    after that. Might be something particular to Internet Explorer 11.

    Now i need to export the excel data to SharePoint list.
    When iam trying to copy data from excel to List , it is showing as "The selected cells are read only".
    can someone guide on this to export spread sheet data to SharePoint list without importing Spreadsheet.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've updated the example of using PowerShell to include a Person field (user field) and a choice field.
    The CSV file has the following columns:
    TRIP_NO
    VESSEL_NAME
    FLAG
    AGENT_NAME
    CURRENT_LOCATION
    RPT_DATE
    EMPLOYEE
    EMPLOYEE_TYPE
    #Get the CSV file and connect to the SharePoint list
    $vessellist = import-csv -Path C:\Temp\VesselInPortReport.csv
    $l = (Get-Spweb "http://devmy101").GetList("http://devmy101/Lists/smarInPort")
    #Get the lists EmployeeType field (choice)
    $employeeType = $l.Fields["EmployeeType"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldChoice]
    #Loop through the items and add them to the list
    $r = 1;
    foreach($item in $vessellist)
    $ni = $l.items.Add();
    #Add the Title, using the rows VESSEL_NAME column
    $ni["Title"] = $item.VESSEL_NAME;
    #Add the "Date Recorded" field, using the csv rows "RPT_DATE" column
    [DateTime]$rd = New-Object System.DateTime;
    if([DateTime]::TryParse($item.RPT_DATE, [ref]$rd)){
    $ni["Date Recorded"] = $rd;
    #Add the csv rows "TRIP_NO" column to the new list items "Trip Id" field (SPFieldNumber)
    [Int64]$tn = New-Object System.Int64;
    if([Int64]::TryParse($item.TRIP_NO, [ref] $tn)){
    $ni["Trip Id"] = $tn;
    #Add some other text properties
    $ni["Flag"] = $item.FLAG;
    $ni["Agent Name"] = $item.AGENT_NAME;
    $ni["Current Location"] = $item.CURRENT_LOCATION;
    #Add user information
    $ni["employee"] = $w.EnsureUser($item.EMPLOYEE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE value from the spreadsheet is a persons name. Eg. "Matthew Yarlett"
    $employeeType.ParseAndSetValue($ni,$item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE value from the spreadsheet is valid choice present in the EmployeeType list field. Eg. "Manager"
    #Update the item
    $ni.Update()
    Write-Host ([String]::Format("Added record:{0}",$r));
    $r++;
