Sort - not columns - but rows in 3.01

How to sort - not columns - but rows - in 3.01?

Hi Sune,
While we all wait for Apple to put this feature back in another update of Numbers 3, try this:
You want to sort rows 11-14 (as an example). Add a Colour Fill to row 15 as a guide for later.
Select rows 11-14. Click and *hold* on any Row Reference Tab. You will see the selected rows appear to 'lift'. Drag those rows away from Table 1 to a blank part of the 'canvas':
and they will form a new table. Sort this table.
Then select all rows of Table 2, and Copy.
Click on Table 1. Select the colour filled row where you want to insert (row showing 23 Jun 2013 in this example).
Menu > Insert > Copied Rows.
Not as easy as Numbers 2.3 Reorganize Panel, but a workaround.
If you frequently resort the same rows, consider placing them in their own table.
Regards,
Ian.

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?

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.

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.

TableSorter - Sorting grouped columns

Hi,
I am implementing a web dnypro application on NWDS 7.1.
Is it possible to sort a grouped column with the TableSorter.java class?
As mentioned in the below document, it should be possible.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30291df2-b980-2a10-0884-839c4f7f147e
I can sort single columns, but sorting grouped columns is not possible.
Any idea about this?
Thanks,

Yasar

Sorting columns and rows

I am incredibly frustrated, more and more, but what I find to be non-intuitive functions of this app. I have a long column of row headings (and column headings to be frank) that are in text. I want to sort them, along with the associated row.
This should not be difficult, but it is impossible. I've been using spreadsheet programs from the first day they were available for the Mac, a billion years ago (give or take a couple of years). I'm starting to think that Numbers is one of the worst.
Annoyingly, the help function, gives me no help. Can someone point me to the location of how to learn how to do a sort? Because I guess just right clicking on the column to sort is way to easy, like it was in the previous version of Numbers.

Click on the right edge of a column heading to get:
Sort & Fiilter Options (also via Table > Sort & Filter Options):

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.

How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).

How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).
What happens when i load the applet the table is blank and displays the background color is gray which we want to be white.
We tried using the setBackGround but it is not working maybe we are not using it properly. Any help would be gr8.
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand very well, but i guess that the background is gray when the table content's empty, isn't it?
When the table model is empty, the JTable doesn't paint, so its container displays its background (often gray).
In this case, what you must do is force the table to paint, even if the model is empty. So, you have to create your own table and override three methods :
public class MyTable extends JTable
//specify the preferred and minum size when empty
myPreferredWidth = 200;
myPreferredHeigth =200;
myMinimunWidth = ...;
myMinimunHeigth = ...;
public Dimension getPreferredSize()
if(getModel().getRowCount() < 1)
return new Dimension(myPreferredWidth, myPreferredHeigth);
else
return super.getPreferredSize();
public Dimension getMinimumSize()
if( getModel().getRowCount() > 0)
return new Dimension(myMinimunWidth, myMinimunHeigth);
else
return super.getMinimumSize();
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
if (getModel().getRowCount<1 && isOpaque()) { //paint background
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
else super.paintComponent(g);
}

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

Can I sort a column in Numbers without affecting the associate rows?

I have a schedule with date columns and lists of names. I would like to sort the names alphabetically in each column, but the rows are tied to the column. Is there a way to sort each column without effecting the entire table?

Thanks, This seems like a serious flaw to me. I want to like Numbers, but keep finding reasons to go back to Excel.
Why would you put data in different columns of the same row that don't have any relationship to each other? The purpose of a row is to create a record of related data. The Apple guys are sticklers about things like this. If that bothers you, reverting to Excel is your best option.

Do not allow to sort some columns in Alv Grid

Dear friends,
Please help me.
I want to tell to the method set_table_for_first_display - make one of the columns not sortable. Let's say the column name is "My Icon".
What I mean with that is:
when User will highlight column "My icon" and then click on sort buttons in the toolbar - no sort will happen on this column.
I was trying to identify a field in lvc_s_sort which would say "do not sort this column". Is there any?
Or the only way to accomplish my task is to make sort buttons in the toolbar disable if column "My Icon" is clicked?
gt_sort      TYPE lvc_t_sort.
    CALL METHOD grid1->set_table_for_first_display
         EXPORTING i_structure_name = 'IT'
                   is_layout        = gs_layout
                   is_print         = gs_print
         CHANGING it_outtab        = it
                   it_fieldcatalog = gt_fcat
                   it_sort = gt_sort
Thank you,
Tatyana.

Got a solution for ya, but you have to handle it thru coding.   So you will need to handle an event from your ALV grid.
First thing is that you need a local class as your event handler, copy and paste this code. Here we are using the name ALV_GRID for your alv object
data: alv_grid       type ref to cl_gui_alv_grid.
*       CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION
class lcl_event_receiver definition.
public section.
    methods handle_user_command
      for event before_user_command of cl_gui_alv_grid
      importing e_ucomm.
private section.
endclass.
*       CLASS lCL_EVENT_RECEIVER IMPLEMENTATION
class lcl_event_receiver implementation.
method handle_user_command.
    data: icols type lvc_t_col,
          xcols like line of icols.
* Get the currently selected column
    call method alv_grid->get_selected_columns
       importing
         et_index_columns = icols.
    read table icols into xcols index 1.
* If the selected column is not one that should be sorted
    check xcols-fieldname = 'MATNR'.    "<-- Whatever columns that you don't want to allow sorting on.
* Now check the function code, if sort ascending or descending, then give message
    check e_ucomm = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_sort_asc
      or e_ucomm = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_sort_dsc.
    message i001(00) with 'Can not sort on this column'.
* Now set the UCOMM as if the user didn't click anything.
    call method alv_grid->set_user_command( space ).
endmethod.
endclass.
data: event_receiver type ref to lcl_event_receiver.
Also, you will need to set the event hanlder after calling the SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY.
call method alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
      changing
           it_outtab       = i_alv[]
           it_fieldcatalog = ifc[].
* Set the handler for ALV grid
create object event_receiver.
set handler event_receiver->handle_user_command for alv_grid.
Just tested this, and works quite well.

Song purchases do not show up in the artist column but they do show up in the song column. What gives?

When you purchase songs, I have several artists that do not appear in the artist column. The songs appear in the song column, but they are not grouped in the artist column. What gives?

Make sure these tracks are not marked as part of a compilation in iTunes from under the Info tab of the Get Info window that can be accessed by right->clicking on a track.

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

Front Row not authenticated but iTunes is?

I've got a Mac Mini that is pulling it's library from my Mac G4. I have it so that an alias of the library file on my Mac Mini is pointing to the Library file on my G4 (which holds all my music on a software RAID array) through the network. This was working fine for about a month. Then I did a software update on my Mac Mini (which is hooked up to my stereo and TV), and now ALL my tunes (including MP3s) cannot be played through Front Row. It tells me that I have to quit Front Row, load iTunes and authenticate the song through iTunes. But iTunes doesn't have any problem playing the music! Most of these files (95%) are MP3s anyway with no DRM!!! So, I am totally confused. Any ideas?
Again, I can play the songs without any problems by using iTunes. But if I try using Front Row (much more convenient with the remote and all!!), then I get this annoying error which forces me to quit and go straight through iTunes. Both systems have the latest OS updates.
MDD G4 + Intel Duo Core Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7) Flux Capacitor installed in both

I've pretty similar problem. I've a music library in Buffalo TeraStation. TeraStation is mounted and visible to Mac Mini, which is hooked to my stereo.
Most of the music was originally in the WMA Lossless. Recently I've converted them to Apple Lossless. Some music is also in lossy AAC and MP3. All music plays well with iTunes, but not with Front Row. Odd enough, I can authorize songs from iTunes one by one. They will play then with Front Row, but Front Row will forgot it later.
The primary reason to buy Mac Mini was to create a neat interface for my music collection through Mini/Front Row/Remote Controller, so I'm obviously very keen on finding a solution as well.

Mapping is done ....but it is not inserting any rows

hi,
Mapping is validated successfully.
We will deploy the code in the backend by generating the code.
When the package is created and executed It.It shows me procedure completed succesfully...But it will not insert any rows.
I am unable to find the reason for it.Please help me in solving this.
Thanks,
kiran

what is your owb version
how many rows are there in source
what is your filter criteria and are any rows returned through simple sql but using that filter criteria.
what is the loading type of your target table
the ebst way is to debug the map and find out, i wouldnt recomment using backend code to debug as the ebst option since debug facility is availabe in owb, if that doesnt work then probably you can try using the package code.

Select column, but group rows inside that column first

Hi,
I have a scenario where I want to show data from a column, but the column has multiple entries of the 'same' entry.
id company
1 burger_king
2 mcdonalds
3 mcdonalds_east
4 diary_queen
5 mcdonalds_west
I want to be able to show all companies but group the mcdonalds companies.
Any suggestions on how to do that?
Thanks.

Here's a funky way (if I haven't misread the requirement):
SQL> -- generating sample data:
SQL> with t as (
2 select 1 id, 'burger_king' company from dual union
3 select 2, 'mcdonalds' from dual union
4 select 3, 'mcdonalds_east' from dual union
5 select 4, 'diary_queen' from dual union
6 select 5, 'mcdonalds_west' from dual
7 )
8 --
9 -- actual query:
10 --
11 select id
12 ,     company
13 from ( select id
14          ,      company
15          ,      row_number() over (partition by soundex(company) order by id) rn
16          from   t
17        )
18 where rn = 1;
        ID COMPANY
         1 burger_king
         4 diary_queen
         2 mcdonalds
3 rows selected.
