Sort by Column in SM30

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way to sort data in SM30 column wise, like select a particular column and sort.
Currently i have added custom buttons for sort by ascending and descending to the screen and sorting it by the key field of the table.
Thanks
Sindhuja

Hi Sindhuja,
When you activate table maintenance generator for a table, a function group will be generated. The PF status of all table maintenance display will be in include LSVIMOXX. If you want you can include a custom sort button and write SORT statement for the required fields.

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

How to sort a column directly after data is filled into the grid?

Hello,
I have a unbound field X, which is filled on fly in the RowLoaded2 column. If I click on the column header, I am able to sort the column.
I want to sort the column directly, but all attempts have failed.
I have tried to call in <anchor>_OnUpdate
<anchor>.bcol.Sort( "X", "ASC") but it does not work as long as the property is not mapped to a Segment field of a bdoc. For this test i just created my property X on the Business Objects behind the tablegrid
I have used <tablegridcontrol>.sortCol = 2, but it results into a StackOverflowException even for any other column.
Is there no way to sort the colum in this special kind of situation?
Regards,
Andreas

Hi,
you have to consider that when loading a tile for the first time always rowloaded2 is fired (several times) and afterwards onload. Maybe rowloaded2 again afterwards. So it should work to sort in onload.
But when clicking the <back> button in the menue the order of the fired events might be different!
Do you want to sort by an unbound column which is readonly or is it also editable (see other thread)? In this case things might be much more complicate... Normally another sorting should be done in onsave event but unfortunately you don't save anything as it is unbound...

Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

In iTunes, is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
Finale 2007: $500
Sibelius 4: $500
Jam Packs: $400
Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
PowerBook: $1700
Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
Logic Pro 7: Oy!
As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

Sort table columns in a table and context created dinamically

Hello all,
I have implemented the table sorting several times in another developments, but now I'm facing a problem.
I have created the table and context node that I need to sort dinamically (before somebody ask me why, I would say that it's the only way to do that for my current project, there was no possibility of doing that in dessign time). I have implemented the table sorting more or less the same way I would do with a table created in dessing time, but when I run my WD the sorting of columns doesn't work.
In the wdDoModifyView, I have put the following code:
if(firstTime){
IWDAction ordenacion     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ORDENACION, null);
IWDParameters param = ordenacion.getActionParameters();
param.addParameter("nombreNodo",nombreNodo);
and in the code of the action
    //@@begin onActionOrdenacion(ServerEvent)
     System.err.println("**** NOMBRE NODO **** "+nombreNodo);
     wdContext.currentContextElement().getTableSorter().sort(wdEvent, wdContext.getChildNode(nombreNodo, IWDNode.LEAD_SELECTION));
    //@@end
The name of the node ("nombreNodo) it's only correct the first time I click on a column.
Has anybody implemented the table sorting in a dinamically created table and context node? And how do you do to make it works.
Thank you very much

Here is the code
//Preparamos Navegaciones
IWDAction abrirProyecto = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ABRIR_PROYECTO, null);
IWDAction abrirDisp     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ABRIR_DISPONIBLE, null);
//IWDAction ordenacion     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ORDENACION, null);
IWDAction ordenacion=wdThis.wdGetOrdenacionAction();
IWDParameters param = ordenacion.getActionParameters();
param.addParameter("nombreNodo",nombreNodo);
IWDTable table = wdThis.wdGetInformesController().crearTabla(view, nombreNodo, movimientosInfo,new String[]{"Codi Projecte",null,"Nom Projecte", "Import Projecte", "Client", "Increment Disponible futur per facturació no emesa i / o anualitats pendents","Increment Disponible futur per ingressos pendents de cobrar", "Disponible"},new String[]{"10px", null,"10px", "10px","10px","10px","10px","10px"},new IWDAction[]{abrirProyecto,null, null, null, null,null,null,abrirDisp}, -1);
//ordenar tabla
wdContext.currentContextElement().setTableSorter(new TableSorter(table, ordenacion,null));
containerTablasProyecto.addChild(table);

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

Numbers Sort function. In Numbers 09 there was 'rearrange' which worked perfectly. New Numbers 13 has Sort by column but I can't get it to work. is there a bug?

In Numbers 09 there was 'rearrange' which worked perfectly. New Numbers 13 has Sort by column but I can't get it to work. is there a bug?

Numbers '09 has a Reorganize panel and the top section of that panel is for sorting. Numbers 3 also has the ability to sort and it works. However, Numbers '09 and Numbers 3 sort differently.
In Numbers '09, if you had a formula such as =Table 1::A1 and if a sort of Table 1 moved cell A1 to A20, the formula would change to =Table 1::A20. In Numbers 3, the formula would stay =Table1::A1.

Cannot sort a column in Numbers for iPad

I have a Numbers IOS spreadsheet on my iPad which contains 6 worsheets. I can sort the columns in all but one worksheet. In the problem worsheet, when I tap on the grey bar above any column, the menu that appears excludes the "Sort" option. What is wrong?

Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

Hi samgpi,
You should have no prolem with doing such sorting by using the parameter IT_SORT, available when using class or FM...

How not to sort datagrid column on double click

Hello,
I am currently building an application containing a datagrid for data representation. I've created a custom datagridheader in order to add a input text for filtering the columns (see code below).
My goal is to hide the textinput, and then show it on a double click on the header. So i would like to know how to avoid the sort of this column each time i double click.?

Based on your idea, i've intercepted the click event and I use stopImmediatePropagation.
THen i added an image to sort the column. So if the image is clicked the sort is ok.

Sort Order Column not Working

I have set a sort order column on one of A VARCHAR field, but the functionality is not working. The sorting is enabled in the table view and when I sort by the said column it still sorts based on the VARCHAR values of the column instead of the other INT column I want to sort by. The logical SQL and physical query never even includes the column to sort. Are there any exceptions for the 'Sort Order Column' setting? Is there a config setting or data connections setting that I need to check to make this work?
Thank You!

hi,
can you give me more detailes like some sample column data like below kind
Like Ex: varchar month column it sould display based on month id
month : Fev-2011,Dec-2011,jan-2011 and month id 1 to 12
set your month id as sort order column of month name.
double click month name ->In general tab set the sort order column as month id
FYI...see the sample link

Sort order column in a report

hi all,
I've seen in a dashboard (OBIEE 10.1.3) on linux os that is possible to sort the columns of the measures in a table (an arrow appears next to the name of the column), but I haven't noticed in the settings how get this result.
is a feature of linux or you can apply this in windows? if so, how?
thank you for the reply

you have to enable the sorting for table view in Answers report. refer below article.

Sort order column with a between filter

Hi all,
[using OBI-EE version 10.1.3.3.1]
I've got a column 'BLOCK_ROW' which contains values A,B,C....AA,AB,AC...BA,BB...FK,FL
Alphabetically this orders A,AA,AB.... which is incorrect. The order should be A,B,C...
To be able to sort correctly we added a column 'ROW_SORT' to our model, which is numeric. This column is set as the 'sort order column' in the repository and makes sure the sorting is done correctly.
So far, so good...
Now, I want to be able to use a 'between' filter on this column, e.g. between 'A' and 'C'. Unfortunately this returns A,B,C,AA,AB... while I want it to return A,B,C.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Elio
Generated SQL:
select distinct T91353.BLOCK_ROW as c1,
T91353.ROW_SORT as c2
from
<table_name> T91353
where ( T91353.BLOCK_ROW between 'A' and 'C' )
order by c2
--> Sorting handled based on ROW_SORT, between filter not :(

That will only do the trick in this particular example. Between 'A' and 'AA' will fail again and only returns A and AA while it should return A..Z and AA.
Using extra filters is always possible but I'm looking for a more robust solution, which also allows for dashboard 'between' prompts based on this column.
A workaround I came up with is to add a calculated field which concats an '_' in front of the single 'digit' values. This results in: A,B,_C,.....,AA,AB....FL. This set can be ordered alphabetically and this will work for now.
In the future, however, it might happen that the order of the letters will completely change. In the datamodel this can be achieved by changing the order of the numbers in ROW_SORT.
Example dataset:
BLOCK_ROW | ROW_SORT
Q | 1
D | 2
F | 3
AA | 4
A | 5
The filter 'between D and AA' should then result in D,F,AA.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

'Sort order column' doesn't work for prompt with function

I turned on the 'sort order column property' in repository for a logic column 'school year', so when I get school year from prompt, it shows desc order. It works fine if th colume in prompt is a simple prompt. But when I add function in the column in prompt (means edit Fx with a case statement), when school year prompt shows in dashboard, it is not sorted in desc order any more, it went back to acs.
Am I missing something, or this is a bug?
Another question, when I turn on 'sort order column property' in repository for a logic column, can I choose to desc on another column? I couldn't do it, and had to create another sorting column.
Thanks,
Amy

Cant you create this logic in the rpd and then apply order there and use the newly created column in your prompt..

Strange application behaviour after try to sort datagrid column

Hi all
I have a simple Air desktop application with customized DataGrid (Spark version). Problem that users found is when they trying to sort grid by one of the columns applicaiton closes without any messages. I've repeated this bug on my PC but there is a problem - in debug mode (i mean with ADL) it works OK without any tries to crash on sort. So my questions in priority order:
1. Is that possible to obtain live Air application errors log? I mean after installation. Maybe with 3rd party applicaiton. I'm using MonsterDebugger and added few log messages but looks like application just crashes without firing closing or close event.
2. Which part of DataGrid could crash applicaiton in release mode? Just thought debug mode is more strict.
My dev system:
Flash Builder 4.6
Adobe Air 3.2
Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
Best regards, Roman
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

Based on your idea, i've intercepted the click event and I use stopImmediatePropagation.
THen i added an image to sort the column. So if the image is clicked the sort is ok.
