Simple sort question - Numbers '09

Have a table with a few colums. One is a column of dates and the other of categories.
Wish to sort the entire table in priority order, first by category, then by date.
Easy to do in Excel. Am sure Numbers has a way to do this, but can't find it.

Simple Sort Question

I know we can sort things using query expressions. But I'd like to put the equivalent of an "ORDER BY" clause in our ORM.XML file for certain entities, to keep the sorting separate from the code. But I don't see a way to do that? Is there?
Thanks!

Yep--same conclusion we've come to here. Not sure why they thought it was important for 1-to-N and n-to-m, but not more generally. I guess it's the inherenet Many aspect of those things.
Thanks!
There is no default order by, but you can set an
@OrderBy on a OneToMany or ManyToMany.
If you use named queries, you can define the order by
on them in JPQL.

Simple Sorting Question

Hi everyone, I'm new to this groupe as I am Java. I'm trying to write an applet that inputs five floating-point numbers and determines and prints the number of negitive numbers input, number of positive numbers input, and the number of zeros input.
I'm not sure how to 'determine' this, in an array probably? As you'll see from my code I'm lost and confused. Here is my code so far, thanks so much for any help!
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PosMin extends JApplet {
     int[] numbers = new int[5];
     int[] sortedNumbers;
     double pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4, pos5, neg1, neg2, neg3, neg4, neg5;
     String first, second, third, fourth, fifth;
public void init (){
     first = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter First Number:");
     second= JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter second Number:");
     third = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter third Number:");
     fourth = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter Fourth Number:");
     fifth = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter Fifth Number:");
     numbers[0] = Double.parseDouble (first);
     numbers[1] = Double.parseDouble (second);
     numbers[2] = Double.parseDouble (third);
     numbers[3] = Double.parseDouble (fourth);
     numbers[4] = Double.parseDouble (fifth);
public void paint(Graphics g){
}

Hi guys,
I think I'm a little over my head here. I'm trying to do what you're suggesting John, but I'm still unclar on some of the concept behind this code. This is my modified code (which is riddled with errors) that I've been working on all night/day. I'm learning tons from my books about java arrays and the language in general, but still annoyed this doesn't work. I appreicate all help, but I get the feeling I need more :P. Thanks a lot for any help.
Here is my failing code. I ripped out a lot of what I had and i've rewritten it so many times I feel off track, which I'm certain is more than a feeling. Anyone's suggestion is welcome, I can't wait to get this to work.
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.*;
java.util.Vector;
public class PosMin extends JApplet {
     Vector myNums = new Vector(); //creates an empty vector
     int[] numbers = new int[5];
     int[] sortedNumbers;
     double pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4, pos5, neg1, neg2, neg3, neg4, neg5;
     String first, second, third, fourth, fifth;
public void init (){
int numGreat = 0, numEqual = 0, numLess = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < myNums.size(); x++){
if ((int) myNums.elementAt(x) > 0) {
    numGreat++;
} else if ((int) myNums.elementAt(x) == 0) {
    numEqual++;
} else {
    numLess++;
public void paint(Graphics g){
}

How can I sort in Numbers 3.0? All data are getting rolled around!

I wanted to sort column B
And that's the result.

Can't see the what's in the screenshot very well, but here's one way to sort in Numbers 3.0. The menu popped up after I clicked the triangle by D.
If you're sorting cells with formulas in them, here's a heads up that the sorting behavior has been changed from Numbers 2.3. It now closely matches the sorting behavior of Excel and other spreadsheets.
If you're trying to sort by more than one column, say first by Name then by RP then by LP, unfortunately Numbers 3.0 does not have that functionality built-in to the interface the way Numbers 2.3 did. But there's a fairly easy workaround. Set up a new column E and fill it with the formula =A&C&B, and then just sort by column E.
Here you seem to have numbers in B and C, in which case if you need a multicolumn sort your formula gets a little more involved because you have to pad the numbers with leading zeros so they sort correctly. This is easily done with something like this in column E: =A&RIGHT("00000"&C,4)&RIGHT("00000"&B,4) .

How to sort in numbers 3.0 sort ascending is grayed out

I tried to follow "how to sort" in numbers, but I am doing something wrong. My "sort ascending" and "sort descending" are grayed out.

Hi Jerry,
I suspect you have merged some cells in the table somewhere. This confuses it, as it has no way of keeping the rows containing the merge together while sorting.
Unmerging solved it when I had the same problem.
Best wishes.

Sorting question over state...

Hi there,
Anyone know where you amend the over state / hover of an option in a sorting question ???
Been looking in the object style manager but can't find it in there...
Thanks in advance...

You are talking about the partially transparent grey bar that appears when hovering over an answer in the Sequence type of questions. There is no style that can be customized AFAIK. It is not even changing with the included themes. Same is valid for the connecting lines in matching questions that are always black, color cannot be changed for them neither. It is a pity, would recommend you enter a feature request to be able to customize the color of both the hover bar and those lines.

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Interactive Report - sort strings/numbers in the same column

Hi all,
I have an interactive report and have a column value.
It has type varchar2 in Database.
Problem: There are existing numbers and chars in this column.
Now I want to sort as numbers as chars.
Now it's like this:
10
2
23
3
no
yes
I want like this:
2
3
10
23
no
yes
How can I receive this???
All suggestions are welcome.

without regexp option:
select vc
,      case when instr('#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8#9#0#',substr(vc,1,1)) = 0 then 1 else 0 end sort_column
from
select '10' vc from dual union all
select '2'     from dual union all
select '23'    from dual union all
select '3'     from dual union all
select 'no'    from dual union all
select 'yes'   from dual union all
select 'yas'   from dual
order by 2,lpad(vc,'9',0) --First sort on numbers, then on characters

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

To sort in numbers, not possible

I had no problems to sort in numbers. But now the option is grey, not available. Any idea what to do? I didn´t merge cells.
thank you

How have you been sorting in the past?
To lock a table you select the table, the menu item "Arrange > Lock".
You can select the menu from the column menu:
OR you can open the reorganize panel by selecting the menu item "Table > Show Reorganize Panel"

Simple sorting program for folders/files

Hello comunity,
I would like to make a simple sorting program which will scan through some folder looking for files with different extensions. Then copy files of the same format (example *.pdf) and (create) place them into folder with the name of the extension. After that the program (script) should look for another extension and do the similar operation to them untill all files will be moved. I am new to applescript and automator.app, so could you please put me on the right direction which programmin (script) language should I use. Sample code and good tips would be usefull too. Thank you for your time.

This is not a hard thing to do. If you want to write it yourself, and have some background in programming, I recommend to read a book on AppleScript and start writing the code in AppleScript Editor.
The AppleScript Language Guide is a free reference book by Apple which you can download it. There are a lot of sample codes on the net too.
You should use the Finder dictionary to do this work. Finder is a scriptable application in Mac, which has a dictionary. This dictionary describes about the objects inside the finder that do all the duties of the Finder and you can call them directly in AppleScript to automate things. Open AppleScript editor, go to Window > Library and double click on Finder. This will open the dictionary. Note that all the objects in scriptable applications have a hierarchical relationship, starting from the root "application" object. You can read the dictionary to get familiar with the objects in the Finder app and know how to use them.
Here is some code:
tell application "Finder"
tell the front window
log (count of items of it) -- prints the count of items in the window
make new folder in it with properties {name:"mani"} -- makes a new folder named: mani
make new file in it with properties {name:"test", extension:"txt"} -- makes a new text file
repeat with x in every file in the items of it
log the name of x
end repeat
end tell
end tell
If you can program in Objective-C and not have enough time to learn AppleScript, you can use Scripting Bridge technology to automate scriptable applications using Objective-C. This is so much better because enables you to debug your code or execute it line by line, which is not possible when working with AppleScript Editor.
Hope this helps

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

Sorting in Numbers for IOS

Is there a way to sort a Numbers spreadsheet on an IOS device?

If I double tap in a blank cell or one with numbers, I get the numerical keyboard but no input bar or buttons for the other keyboards. If I double tap on a cell with text in it I get the alphabetic keyboard but no input bar or buttons for the other keyboards. If I double tap on a cell with a formula in it I get the formula/function keyboard but no input bar or buttons for the other keyboards. All my spreadsheets are shared through icloud with my wife's iPad and I'm sitting here getting it all to work perfectly on hers, but not on mine.

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..
