Sort Alphabetically, Ascending

I am so sorry to trouble you again. I asked this before and now can't do it again. It involves using the "Sort" on the Button Bar, But I can't seem to activate it. My lists just sit there and I don't get the question box "Ascending? or Descending?"
I am in Appleworks and have two column documents I keep adjusting. Çan you help me one more time on this? Please and thanks for all the help you give.

Hello
As you wrote about "button", I assumes that you are working with a spreadsheet (there is no Sort button for WP).
There are two Sort buttons, one for ascending sort, one for descending sort. So there is no need to display the "choose ascending/descending" dialog.
This dialog is available if you call Sort thru the menu item:
Calculate > Sort…
For detailed informations, enter the Help and ask for the keyword "Sorting".

  • 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.

  • Mail: Sending, with recipient names sorted alphabetically

    When sending to a large group, after typing a group name in the cc/bcc field, I want to remove some recipients. It is much easier to do this if the recipients are sorted alphabetically. How do I force alphabetical sort (either ascending or decending)?

  • AP Cheque Run - Sort Alphabetically

    Hello everyone,
    We are in the process of completing our user acceptance testing for E-Business R12.1.1. One issue is the ability to sort the cheque run in alphabetical format. At the moment, they are sorted in ascending order by cheque number. How does one change this so that they are sorted alphabetically?
    Thanks...colin

    Colin,
    If this is a standard report and sorting is not available as part of the passing parameters, then I think there is no supported way to change the order. However, I would suggest you log a SR and confirm this with Oracle support.

  • Help needed in Sorting Columns (date sorts alphabetically)

    Hi All,
    I have a report query as follows:
    select to_date(period,'MON-YYYY') start_date
    ,exp_type
    ,id
    ,acct_ref
    ,dept_ref
    ,item_date
    ,amt
    from test;
    I need to display the report in the same order as select statement (start_date,exp_type,id etc). I have given default sort order in report attributes and user enabled sort on all columns. The report attributes look as shown below:
    column_name / sort / sort_seq
    start_date / yes / 3
    exp_type / yes / 1
    id / yes / -
    acct_ref / yes / -
    dept_ref / yes / 2
    item_date / yes / 4
    Now my problem is that the start date sorts alphabetically (as varchar) instead of chronologically (date wise). How can I resolve this?
    If I change my default sort order so that start_date is sorted 1st, it works perfectly fine. Is there any restriction for APEX sort that says the column displayed needs to be sorted in the same order? How do I overcome it? Or is it possible to overcome it?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sumana

    Hi,
    Thanks. But no I cannot change it to date, as there are many applications using it for displaying the period. But I found an equivalent date column for that period and tried using that. It was not working.
    I did further analysis and found that even to_char(period) works fine. The problem was something else. In my region query the select statement was
    select exp_type
    ,id
    ,amt
    ,to_date(period,'MON-YYYY')
    from test.
    I then had in region attributes used the arrows to change order of display, so that period appears first. That was the culprit. When I change my region query, to match the order in region attributes the date column as well as to_date(period) both work fine.
    I never knew that the order of select statement and that in region attributes should match each other!!! And hence when posting I did not give importance to the order of my select list. Sorry for that.
    The mystery is how was it working when i changed the sort order to say "period" 1st and then exp_type (2nd)
    Thanks everyone for you help.
    Thanks,

  • Can layers be sorted alphabetically in InDesign?

    Please could someone tell me if layers can be sorted alphabetically in InDesign?

    Thanks for your reply Rob
    I worked with a few people and managed to get it accomplished with .jsx script. I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC, so I was hoping that I might be able to "borrow" some code from what might have turned up here.
    Here is the script that we got drawn up to alphabetize pathItems within Illustrator, and the original code that sorts layers is at the top of the post:
    Re: Re: Re: How to sort objects alphabetically (inside of a layer)?
    ***EDIT***
    I pulled the script from that post just in-case that post goes down or gets deleted.
    #target "Illustrator"
    function alphabetize()
         if (app.documents.length == 0)
              alert("No document Open");
              return;
         var docRef = app.documents[0];
         var state = docRef.layers;
         for (a = 0; a < state.length; a++)
              var provider = state[a].layers;
              for (b = 0; b < provider.length; b++)

                             var townList = [];
                             for (d = 0; d < town.length; d++)

  • CONTACTS 'Custom Label' list not sorted alphabetically ? ? ?

    In both I/OS 6 & 7 the 'Custom Labels' I created to more accurately identify new Contact phone number I enter, that list is no longer sorted alphabetically (like it use to be in previous operating systems for my iPhone 5).  Does anybody know a work-around?

  • Hi people, can anyone tell whether one has the possibility in numbers, the entries in the pop-up menu to sort alphabetically me

    hi people, can anyone tell whether one has the possibility in numbers, the entries in the pop-up menu to sort alphabetically me

    Hi Dieter,
    Your profile shows Mac OS X (10.6.8) so it seems you are using Numbers version 2.x
    Numbers 2 does not have the ability to sort Pop-Up Menu entries (except by a painful process of adding or subtracting entries in Inspector).
    Numbers 3 makes Pop-Up Menus a breeze. But it is your choice whether to update to OS X Mavericks and Numbers 3 . Some features have been lost, other features have been added, and there are some workarounds.
    Have a look at these threads before you decide:

  • Albums sorted alphabetically by song title when searching on ipod classic

    I understand that the default for the search feature is to sort songs within each result alphabetically - for instance, you go to "Search" type "Tool" and Select "Tool." Now you see a list of albums by the band, and you can select the one you want, but the songs are always sorted alphabetically by title. Please tell me that this can be changed! A lot of artists actually put thought into the arrangement of their albums (a big surprise, I know) and if I wanted something arbitrary like alphabetical order I would use this cool feature called "shuffle!" Thanks in advance.

    Although the search utility will return artist names, why would you search for an artist name instead of selecting it directly from the Artist menu? The search utility seems much more applicable to searching for song names instead of +Show me all artists whose name begins with or contains 'Tool'.+
    In any case, no you can't change the default sort order of search results. If you want to play songs in their album order, use the Artist or Album menu selection, not Search.

  • Saved form data and logins are not sorted alphabetically anymore

    Go to gmail, double click in the "username" field, suggestions appear in a drop down box. If you have more than 1 gmail account they are no longer sorted alphabetically, '''they are sorted by the order entered! '''(with the newest entered on the bottom)
    I believe that this is related to the files formhistory.sqlite and signons.sqlite not being sorted properly.
    Also the addon "Form History Control" will NOT sort these fields alphabetically. Setting browser.formfill.bucketSize to 99999999 or 9999999 in about:config does not work either!

    Thanks for the reply but I have already searched and found that info, it does not work. Firefox is not Web Standard compliant in this regard.

  • Can I sort alphabetically by, say, caption?

    Caption is not one of the criteria listed on the pull-down menu.  The only way I know to sort alphabetically is by file name.

  • Change the sort order (ascending/descending) based on parameter field

    I have created a formula on a subreport to change sorting based on variables.
    select {?Pm-@Sorting}
    case "property_type_desc ASC" :
    {owned_property.property_type_desc}
    case "property_type_desc DESC" :
    {owned_property.property_type_desc}
    default:
    ({owned_property.property_type_cd}; )
    how can I change the sort order ascending and descending using the formula??
    Thanks, Jessica

    Try this
    1. Create a parameter with 2 default values in the picklist: Descending and Ascending.
    NOTE:
    In Crystal Reports version 5 or 6, it is not possible to have a pick a parameter value from a list. The user must enter a specific value, guided by the prompting text. For example : To Sort in Ascending order type A, to sort in Descending order type D.
    u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Parameter', then click 'New'.
    u2022 Type the name and prompting text for the parameter in the corresponding boxes.
    u2022 In the 'Type' box, click 'String'.
    u2022 Click 'Set Default'.
    u2022 In the 'Value to add' box, type 'Descending' then click '>' to move it to the 'Default Values' list.
    u2022 Repeat the above step for 'Ascending'.
    u2022 Click 'OK', then click 'OK' again to return to the report.
    2. Create 2 formulas based on the field you want to change the sort direction on:
    u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Formula', then click 'New'.
    u2022 Create this formula:
    @Asc
    If {?Parameter} = "Ascending" then
    u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor. This brings you back to the Formula tab of the Insert Fields dialog box.
    u2022 Click 'New' and create this formula:
    @Des
    If {?Parameter} = "Descending" then
    u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor.
    u2022 Click 'Close' to return to the report.
    4. Sort the report based on these two formulas.
    u2022 On the 'Report' menu, click 'Sort Records'.
    u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Asc} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
    u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Ascending'.
    u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Des} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
    u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Descending'.
    u2022 Click 'OK' to return to the report.
    Once you preview the report you will be prompted to select a parameter value, which will determine how the report is sorted.

  • How can I sort alphabetically three columns?

    Hi to everybody!
    I've got some problems sorting alphabetically three columns. If I try to sort one column it changes also the others. I want three independent columns and each of them must be sorted out alphabetically.
    In Excel it's so easy: I just have to select the column and push the button "sort the column alphabetically". Why is that so difficult in numbers?
    Check it out: http://yfrog.com/j6screenshot01tj

    l,
    What is the nature of the content in the three columns? If the content is just data, and not calculations or the input to calculations, you can easily accomplish a single column sort in Numbers.
    I see from your screen shot that you are still in the Excel mindset. You have a large table with more rows and columns empty than occupied. To work most effectively in Numbers we usually use only as many rows and columns as necessary, and if we have data that is of another set and not related, we begin a new table.
    So, if your data meets the requirements of the first paragraph and you have trimmed away the excess rows and columns we can do the following: Click once on the label of the column you wish to independently sort. Then click again on this label and drag it up and away from the table to a blank area of the canvas. Perform the sort on the separated column. Then grab the sorted column in the same way as before and move it over the original table, watching the borders between columns highlight as you move over them. The double line between columns identifies the insertion point. When you have your sorted column in the right place, drop it back into the original table.

  • Events not sorted alphabetically on Classic iPod

    In June 2008 I bought a 160GB iPod and synced the iPod from my Macbook Pro that I bought in March. All my 2500 iPhoto photos were in titled events and sorted alphabetically on the event name.
    When I first synced the iPod via iTunes, the events were also in the same alphabetical order on the event name in the iPod. I have synced the iPod many times over the summer and fall and the events on the iPod have remained in that order.
    A few days ago, I did a Software Update on my Macbook Pro and one item was a new version of iTunes (8.0.2). The next time I synced my iPod, the event names were no longer in alphabetical order. I added more photos and synced again but the event names were still out of order.
    I did an iTunes Restore to erase the iPod and restore the current iPod software. That didn't help.
    Any idea how I can get the iPod event name order to match the alphabetical event name order in iPhoto?
    Thanks

    Hello GasMan333,
    Congratulations on your your new MacBook Pro!  With iTunes Match, songs may be matched at a higher quality:
    All the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus quality—even if your original copy was of lower quality.
    iCloud: iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2588
    The higher quality songs are convenient to have on a computer, but with an iPod, there is a space limitation to consider.  You can choose to have these songs sync over at a lower bit rate to be able to fit more songs onto the iPod.  Check out the following featured discussion for steps:
