Sort DataGrid Numerically?

I want to sort numbers numerically (like "1, 3, 10") rather
than alphabetically ("1, 10, 3" ). Everything I've found uses
ActionScript work-arounds on the underlying dataprovider. But
surely I'm missing something and there's an easier way.
Right?

First, make sure your data is in fact numbers and not a
string with numerials in it. This is one of those things I can't
seem to keep in my head, so you'll need to experiment first. If
that doesn't work (I think it will), then you need to create a Sort
and a SortItem. The Sort is added to the dataProvider collection,
not to the DataGrid.

How to sort alphanumeric values in datagrid numerically

Hi all,
I have a datagrid column which contains AlphaNumeric values.Is there a way i can sort these values in a numerical order
eg:
having d1,d11,12,13,d2,d3,d4
d2 should come after d1..
order should be d1,d2,d3,d4,d11,d12,d13
Please help me out..if any have any idea..giving below thw code which is sorting as string
protected function ColumnSortCompare( obj1:Object, obj2:Object ):int
 if ( !obj1 && !obj2 )
 return 0;
 if ( !obj1 )
 return 1;
 if ( !obj2 )
 return -1;
 var obj1Data:String = ComplexColumnData( obj1 ).toString();
 var obj2Data:String = ComplexColumnData( obj2 ).toString();
 if ( obj1Data < obj2Data )
 return -1;
 if ( obj1Data > obj2Data )
 return 1;
 return 0;
Thanx in advance
Rajesh

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Please dont mind if the question is simple,as I am new to flex.
While I am using
return ObjectUtil.stringCompare(obj1[fieldName], obj2[fieldName]);
it is throwing error as, undefined property fieldName.
I am calling as this
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText=""
 editable="false"
 sortCompareFunction="ColumnSortCompare"
 textAlign="left"
 dataField="{PORT_NAME}"
 width="150"/>
How I can resolve this.Please guide me.
Thanks,
Raj

Sorting non numeric column based on numeric column value

APEX 3.1 - RDBMS 10Gr2
In this example, I have a report with 2 columns: (1) numeric IP address (no periods embedded) and (2) varchar IP address (IP address with periods). I would like to display the varchar IP column on the report but sort by the numeric IP address values when the user attempts to sort on the displayed (varchar IP) column in the report.
I would like to do this in Interactive Reports (if possible) but am willing to do this using the conventional report (non IR).
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Barry D.

Barry:
You and do this in a classic report as follows
1) Report query -> Select f1_num, f2_char from table
2) Report Attributes -> Edit Column f1_num - > HTML Expression -> Set to #f2_char# -> Apply Changes
3) Report Attributes -> Uncheck 'Show' for f2_char

Bug in sort of numeric values in ( title and album ) string.

The Bug in the sort-function of the iPod results in mixed up track list.
An album with more then 9 tracks will be sorted in the wrong way, when only title or filename or album field is just to give a track a number. The play order is 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3 , 4 , 5, 6.... instead of the correct order 1,2,3,4,5,6...10,11, 12...
For example: After playing the track named "The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - 1 - Yellow Submarine" the ipod will play "The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - 10 - Baby, You´re A Rich Man" instead of "The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - 2 - Hey Bulldog."
The programmer have to search the string for numbers and join all numeric values to a single number.
Example: Sample data :abc123. is "a" a number? no. is "b" a number no. is "c" a number no. is "1" a number? yes. store. is "2" a number? yes. join to "1". (now we have "12"). is "3" a number? yes. join to "12". (Now we have "123") -> EOL
Is "123" largen than "99"? yes! is "123" larger than 124. no!
Thats it. In perl you need 1 line of sourcecode, in c and c++ this can be done in 10 lines. In java (there a objects for this type of sort).
And every user will be happy and nobody has to do the 01, 02, 03 workaround or reimport their audiobooks.
Alternativly Apple should thing about storing the original filename in the ID3 tag or itunes database. This would make sorting the files without id3 tags (believe me or not, there are many people using mp3 for 10 years and have no id3 tags in there mp3-library) in itunes possible. (there is a god free tagger for mac os but no for windows.)
A company like Apple should have the ability to correct the error / bug in the iPod-firmware (have the same issue in classic and iphone) or itunes-softwar.
This is a wellknown and very common error done by newbie programmers or people who have not read the documentation of the software-libraries.

I still have an H140 in the cupboard. As I recall that needs leading zeros on filenames to sort properly. Since both WMP & iTunes include leading zeros it was never really an issue. THE Rename should be able to extract the track numbers from part of the filename and is also able to generate counters, along with the usual functions of setting tag fields from part of the file and/or folder name. Unfortuanetly THE Rename is still on the complicated side - I suspect there would be no easy way to lump together the variety of options that it has while keeping it very simple.
Once you've used an external program to adjust the tags you can make iTunes re-read them just by selecting the group of files in question, using CRTL-I to "Get Info." and then clicking OK +without making any changes+. iTunes will recheck it's database against any values in the tag and update as required. Given the lack of existing tags I would imagine that you don't let iTunes reorganise your music at the moment and would suggest you keep things that way at least until you are sure that all the tags have been correctly applied and you have a suitable backup. I stick to a Artist/Album/## Track structure which I don't let iTunes manage so that I can always recover details from the filesnames if I should ever accidentally edit more tracks than I intend.

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.

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.

The entries in "Notes" are shown sorted by date of creation. Can they be sorted alpha/numerically?

I would like to be able to sort the entries in "Notes" alpha numerically. By default these entries are sorted based on the date of creation of the entry.

As I said, it works perfectly well for me. Try putting the sidebar into Contact Sheet mode and see if the dates are sorted correctly. Here's an example from my machine:
As you can see, if you have good eyes, all are arranged in date order, regardless of day, month or year.
Just two things occur to me about your problem. I see that your date format differs significantly from mine. Try changing it in System Preferences->Language & Text->Formats and see if that has an effect. There may be a bug in regard to how Preview handles the various date formats. You might also try logging into your test account and see if Preview behaves correctly there, with everything in the default state. If you don't have a test account, create one. Leave everything in the default state and keep it around for future tests--it doesn't take much space and is very handy to have around.

Michael, I am sorry, but I myself have significant difficulty
with xml namespaces. I have managed to get some examples working
but only by trial and error and studying up on Namespace in the
docs.

I am just not good enough with them to be able to tell you
what you need to do.

Sort in numerical order

can someone show me how to sort this in numerical order?
only the first column in order, but the rest of the columns will follow the sorted values.
does that make sense?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Cool set of VIs, thanks for sharing pcardinale.
In this special case the following simple code would also work.

Sort DataGrid with ComboBox

I have a DataGrid with several columns and I would like to be
able to sort it with a ComboBox. So if option a in the comboBox is
selected then column A in the DataGrid will be used to sort. I
option B is selected then a different column wil sort the DataGrid.
How would I go about this?
Thanks
Dave

Sorting Datagrid

argh, frustrating!
Is it really possible that I cant sort a datagrid with script
when user presses the button.
Lets say datagrid have three columns. Col 1, col 2 and col 3.
I have three buttons that lead user to the datagrid and each
of them should sort the datagrid by the column user clicked
(equivalent button)?

Just sort the underlying collection. Assuming your using an
arrayCollection
do the following:
userList.source.sortOn(["org","name"]);
This is a collection of user objects where I sort by org and
name.
Then either reset the grids dataprovider or send out a
Collection changed event:
var c:CollectionEvent = new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE);
userList.dispatchEvent(c)

One datagrid, numerous (xml) datasources

i have a prospective application with the following setup:
one datagrid, with numerous buttons elsewhere in the
application
desired procedure:
upon clicking one of the buttons -
the datagrid is unloaded of any datasource previously loaded
(is this necessary?);
the datagrid is populated with a specific, different xml
datasource (xml file) assigned to a specific button(while showing
busyCursor, and upon completion of data load, normal cursor is
returned).
any help would be appreciated.

How can I get the songs in my iPod Nano to sort in numerical order?....they show up tht way on iTunes, but on the Nano, they're out of order.

they show up that way on iTunes when connected to the Nano, (in numerical order) but on the Nano, they're out of order. The shake to shuttle is off.

I dragged and dropped it from my desktop to my Nano (through iTunes) and it all loaded in order...if I take it from iTunes, it syncs everything, not just one playlist....even though I choose only one playlist...
??? So you are manually managing your iPod's contents. i.e you drag and drop content onto your Nano from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.
What did you drag and drop?
