Sort issue in a table

Hi all,
My requirement is i have to sort the data in a table based on a column_name.
so i took the following steps.
create table temp_template_fields as select * from template_fields
order by column_name;
delete from template_fields;
insert into template_fields select * from temp_template_fields order by column_name;
commit;
drop table temp_template_fields;
Even then the data in the table template_fields is not getting sorted..
I dont understand y is it not happenning.. Pls help me ASAP.
thanks in advance.

1) Why do you have to sort the data in a table? There are a handful of valid reasons for this (i.e. improving compression), but it's generally not a useful exercise if you have a heap organized table.
2) How do you know that the data "is not getting sorted"?
Making a couple of assumptions, I am guessing that you are trying to set up a table that will always return rows in a sorted order when your queries don't specify an ORDER BY clause. That is not possible in Oracle-- the only way to ensure that the rows returned by a query are ordered is to put an ORDER BY clause on the query.

Sorting issue in Classic table

Hi,
In my page we have two tables, Header and Detail. On selection of any record on the HeaderTable, corresponding records are fetche of the details table. Sorting is working fine on the details table. We want to implement sorting on the header table as well.
When i am sorting a table by clicking on one of the Column Header, i am getting the following Warningmessage
" Warning - The table cannot be sorted because it has pending changes which would be lost. "
Please let me know, what could be the probable cause of this error.

It would probably because of selectFag in your header table.
Goto VORowImpl.java and change setAttributeInternal() to populateAttribute() in setSelectFlagXXXXXX(....) method.
if the problem is not solved then look for any other setXXX() methods in your Controller and AMs to the HeaderVO.

Sorting Issue in ALV table

Hi,
I have included a ALV table in my application. A column in the table is containing a list of amounts. When i am trying to sort it in ascending or descending order, the values are not listed properly. I am using "PAD_AMT7S" as the data type for the attribute which will accept up to 2 decimals. The issue is,
if the column is containing values like
0.00,
8.75,
17.00,
8.50 and
17.50.
if i perform ascending type of sorting the values are re-arranged as,
0.00
17.00
17.50
8.50
8.75
and on descending
8.75
8.50
17.50
17.00
0.00
Which are all incorrect. Please provide me your suggestions..
Thanks,
Mugundhan

Hi,
Are you using the IF_WD_TABLE_METHOD_HNDL for the sort, or you wrote your own code?
IF_WD_TABLE_METHOD_HNDL worked incorrectly for some special fields, in these cases I had to write the sorting code manually.
e.g.
CALL METHOD WDEVENT->GET_STRING
   EXPORTING
     NAME   = 'COL'
   RECEIVING
     VALUE = lv_col_name.
CALL METHOD WDEVENT->GET_STRING
   EXPORTING
     NAME   = 'DIRECTION'
   RECEIVING
     VALUE = lv_direction.
CASE lv_col_name.
    WHEN 'TABLE_FIELD1'.
      IF lv_direction EQ '00'.
        SORT lt_table BY CURR ASCENDING.
        ELSE.
          SORT lt_table BY CURR DESCENDING .
      ENDIF.
Is the table sorted incorrectly here?
Bye

Sorting Order for SAP Tables in DB2 database

Dear Experts -
ISSUE: When an ABAP program selects data from the DB into an internal
table, it is changing the way the data is sorted. In other words, the
internal table data is in a different sort order than what is in the
DB. It is not working this way in all other non-production systems
(DEV, QAS, SAX, etc).
Temporary solution for the programs that have been identified as
impacted: Use the ABAP Command 'sort' on the internal table.
Permanent solution needed : Since it is impossible to identify all
of the programs that will be impacted, we need PRD to work like DEV,
QAS, SAX, etc. when selecting data into internal tables. The data
should be in the same order as it is in the DB (sorted by the key).
ADDITIONAL INFO: DB2 storage disks crashed a day before. H/W team recovered everything. We are facing this only after the recovery.
Thanks,
Dinesh

can you please check in your code if the sql that is being sent has an order by clause .
Please let us know the SQL statements that is basically used to fill up the internal table.
When data is fetched from the database, it is not sorted always. Probably you had a clustered index on the tables and the clustering is not there now.

Sorting Problem in FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table

Hi,
FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table storing the record FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_N1(MENU_ID,PROMPT,LANGUAGE) wise in R12. But whereas in 11i, records stored FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_U1(MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE).
I am confused, whether i need to recreate the index in R12, so the records will get store MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE wise.
Could any one please suggest me how to resolve this problem.
Thanks,

Sorting not working if table linked to another table

Got a table with student marks:
Table 1 student
mark
A
98
B
79
C
82
if I copy/paste the marks to another table then sort (ascending, sort by B entire table), it is sorting as expected:
Table 2 student
Mark
B
79
C
82
A
98
if instead I go in Table 2 and enter a formula in B2 to get the mark from table 1 (=Table1::B2), fill down the cells, Table 2 will not sort correctly and output this instead!!!!:
Table 2 student
Mark
B
98
C
79
A
82

Adding a 'sort by' option to table data in webhelp output

RH8 HTML
Hi all,
Just wondering (again) if its possible to add a sort feature to a table?
currently, I've got multiple topics that look like the following. They are a breakdown of all fields/buttons and their functions
field name
description
example
customer id
description of field
example data to be entered
name
description of field
example data to be entered
customer order no
description of field
example data to be entered
job title
description of field
example data to be entered
this is the order that the fields appear on the user form, I'm wondering if I could add a 'Sort By A-Z' and 'Sort by Appearance' options so the user can view the fields, descriptions, and examples either by the order it appears, or in alphabetical order - all the while the description and example fields moving with the sort.
Just gives a bit more functionality for users so they can find a field quickly if the list is a bit bigger by using an alpha sort
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Normally, the browser shows a pointer over a hyperlink. You might have the script set up slightly different than Peter.
A quick fix is as following:
Identify the element you want to see a pointer, probably something like TableHeading. In your css, add:
P.TableHeading
Be carefull with this, it may confuse people if they see a mouse cursor they don't expect. Your best bet is still to figure out if you have set the script up exactly as described on Peter's page.

Default column sort order for 11g table

Could anyone give me some indication on how I would go about setting the default sort order for a table?
I have a table with a few columns, and dataset returns in a particular order, but my table decides to sort if in any given order until I manually click on the column header and sort it.
I would like to have it done by default on a particular field.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
Jonny

As Chris says, the easiest way and best re-use way is to use the order-by clause in your underlying model layer SQL query. For instance in ADF BC this would be in a View Object's query.
However as you haven't dictated your model layer technology, there is another way in JDev 11g. In your web page that contains the ADF Faces RC table, select the binding tab at the bottom of the page, then double click on the iterator in the binding page, and in the Edit Iterator Binding dialog, select the Sort Criteria tab. This allows you to override the sort order on the iterator's columns.

Sorting issue after upgrade from 9i to 10g

Dear all,
It is found that the sorting behavior is different after upgrade from 9i to 10g.
In 9i, even if the SQL statement does not specify the ORDER BY clause, the sorting order is consistent for a particular SQL statement and most likely the sequence follows the searched key fields' order.
After upgrade to 10g, the query output could vary as long as the SQL statement does not specify the ORDER BY clause.
Is it due to the Reverse Docid Sorting issue? How can I troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks for your help,
M.T.

Thanks for your help,
M.T. This is expected behavior in 10g. Oracle will not order the dataset for you unless and until you explicitly specify it.
So without using order by clause in 10g, oracle doesn't guarantee that rows will be ordered.
To go back to old behavior like 9i, you can set a workaround by
alter session set "_newsort_enabled"=false;
Also see MOS - Order Of Data Retrieval Differs after upgrading 9i To 10g [ID 456707.1]

Query as a web service Sorting issue

Hi All,
We have designed an existing BI query as a web service but it seems to be ignoring the Sort order of different characteristics used (as defined in Bex Query Designer).
Using the Context menu in QAAS and defining/managing the Sort is not working.
Has anyone experienced such an issue and how to handle this?
Thanks and Regards,
Bansi

Hi All,
You can try this solution. It has something to do with the universe parameter, END_SQL.
I implemented this as a work around and it solved our problem about the sorting issue with QAAWS.
Here are the steps:
1: Open the universe
2. Ope File, then Universe Parameter
3. Click the parameter tab
4. Scroll down until you see the 'END_SQL' entry. This entry is blank by default.
5. Select END_SQL
6. On the VALUE box, type: ORDER BY 1
7. This will enable the REPLACE button. Click REPLACE
8. Save the universe
9 Test a query using 2 columns and view the SQL.
You should see now the ORDER BY 1 inferred in the SQL statement.
Voila!!!!
Of course you can always add ORDER By 1,2,3 later if there's a need.
Enjoy.....
