Sort/Order By for Request lists, other LOVs

There are many LOVs in the eBusiness Suite that are seemingly unsorted and have no logic to how they are displayed. Is there a way to force these LOVs to order alphabetically or any other way to arrange them? I realize that custom LOVs can be done this way by just adding an order by to the query that pulls the values but I have seen no place to change non-custom ones. I'm specifically looking for a way to sort the available request list (View->Requests->Submit New Request->Single Request->First field in the form
Thanks in advance!

Requests are already sorted by Application name, Report Name .. I do not think there is a way to change this order.
Maybe someone in this thread can help in this.

Error: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect

When processing a measure group with a distinct count measure in it, i get the following error:
"The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect."
I have no idea what this means - any ideas?

I had the same problem and your fix worked. In more detail, the problematic field was contract_no. I added a named calculation to the table in the Data Source View with the formula CHECKSUM(contract_no). Then I created the distinct count measure on that named calculation. And, lo and behold, the errors disappeared!
Thank you to Frank.

Sort order help for date string in crosstab

Hello All,
I need to calculate the number of calls for service for the last 13 months. Display the number in the report footer by month and year in a grid similar to a crosstab and in ascending date sort order.
Example:
May 2008    1,400
Jun 2008     1,287
Jul 2008      1,290
all months through last full month
May 2009    1,385
I can calculate the number of calls per month and display the month and year by converting the month and year to text. However, I cannot seem to find a way to sort the month and year without some kind of on-going manual intervention. I need to make the report maintenance free for monthly scheduled e-mail distribution in business objects enterprise. Specified order does not work since the column headers will change each month. It needs a sort order formula, but I am not sure how can this be done inside a cross tab?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Wendy Douglass

Hi,
I have a similar cross tab in my report. but only problem is grouping is done based on a parameter GroupBy, which has Day, Week, Month values.
if user selects day or week, cross tab should display column in dd/mm/yy format, if its month, MMM-yy format.
I have created a date formula , GroupBy = Day then Opendate
                                                   GroupBy = Week then opendate -dayofweek(opendate)+1
                                                   GroupBy = date(year(opendate),month(opendate),1)
and used this date formula as column in cross tab. I tried to format using custom date style...but its not working in cross tab.
if I use totext to format the date formula, data will not be in sorted order...ex, its showing jul-99 before jun-99
can anyone help?
Thanks in Advance,
Jyothi

Sort/order contexts in universe List View Mode

Is there a way to sort or order contexts in universe List View Mode?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no way to order the contexts in universe list view mode.
If you want to have a specific order I suggest that you prefix all contexts by a number such as "1 - context name1", "2 - context name2", etc.

IOS5 Playlist Sort Order Issue (not smart list just normal playlist)

So i cant figure out why my music wont sort thwy way i wanted to in each of my playlist. Before IOS5 i can sort my songs in my playlist to what ever i wanted and not it just stuck at oldest song added to newest song added.. i want it the other way around...
What happen apple? it was fine in the last OS... am i missing something here.
I would like the ability to sort my music any which way i want to!

Ugh.. This is driving me crazy! Yes, the adding of the rule "playlist is music" fixes this issue when you're syching an ipad or iphone, etc. BUT, that very rule causes iTunes Match to fail! So for any of my devices I have iTunes match enabled for...which is all of them now, my playlists are all jumbled. Here's an example of how weird this issue is:
On my iPad I can see my playlists. When I click on the playlist the music order seems random. I have to select a track to play. Once I've done that, I can click on the picture of the album up at the top where it lists how far into the track you are, etc. and that changes the screen to a full sized picture of the album. At the bottom of THIS screen is another playlist icon (bottom right of the screen). If I tap THAT item, suddenly my playlist is listed CORRECTLY. I can then select the first track of the playlist and tracks will play in the proper order after that.
This is absolutely insane and so opposite of Apple's "it's simple" and "it just works" mantra that it's not even funny. To play my smart playlists in order on my iPad or iphone with iTunes Match enabled, I have to select a playlist, get a track playing, change the display to show the album cover, tap the playlist icon at the bottom of THAT new display, and THEN I can select the first track in my playlist and everything is good. Something needs to be done about this. It's been an issue since iTunes Match was activated. BTW, iTunes Match won't synch smart playlists with the "playlist is music" rule selected because it says that 'playlists that reference other playlists' cannot by synched. It was crazy to have to add that rule to begin with but I could live with it. Now, there's simply no apparent way to fix the issue.

Hi Guru's..
Due to some problem in interface, NEU messages are not triggered..So I need to get the list of PO's for which NEU messages are not got triggered...so by getting the list of PO's I can go manually and re-trigger the message again.
The NEU message includes Orders and Order change messages..Tro NAST tabel I can get the list of PO's which has NEU messages, but I need vice versa.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Hi Ayyalas,
sorry if im not clear....my question is not to re-trigger the message in ME9F
Say for eg. for one day 22/2/2012 - there might be lot of PO's with different Doc.types around 6K PO's created..
I need to pick the PO's which do not have NEU messages from that 6K PO's.
1. I need list of PO's which do not have NEU messages for new PO's created today.
2. I need list of PO's which has been created past, but under gone changes - NEU change messages.
Thanks.

Calendar List View Sort Order

If I have two appointments set to the same time and length on the calendar, the sort order on the "month" view is sorted based on the title (this is great and what I am looking for). If I go to the "day" view or the "list" view the sort order appears to be random. I have tried to figure out what the sort order is for the list view and the day view but no luck.
I am using a second calendar in Outlook for tasks and setting all items to the same time and length. I can then create a task list that syncs to the iphone. Just can't get the sorting figured out.

Hi,
I have the same issue since one week ago (iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.2).
Only 2 calendars on my Exchange mailbox are synced. Items show correctly on the day and month view, but in list view (which I use most), some of them appear under a wrong date. Annoying !
After restart and/or remove/add of calendars, list view takes a long time to 'load'. switching to day view and the back to list makes it appear (but unfortunately with the same problem).
Greetz,
Philip

Custom Sort Order in Dropdown list of translate values

Peoplesoft sorts the dropdown translate values in ascending order by default. I wanted to change the sort order. For example:
The translate values in alphabetic order are:
Andrea
Baluch
Others
Shumi
I want this "Others" as the last value. So the drop down should display like this:
Andrea
Baluch
Shumi
Others

From a document I had created ...
This odd behavior of PeopleTools however can be overridden by implementing a few lines of JavaScript and PeopleCode.
The approach is quite simple and summarized briefly as below:
1.     Concatenate the value-description pairs of the dropdown list into a single string separated by a pipe “|” as delimiter (in case other delimiter is used the script shown below in Step 4 has
to be accordingly modified) in the sequence in which it should be displayed on the page.
2.     While concatenating, make sure to place the value first and then the description, these being separated by the delimiter. Example: “01|”|”January”|”02|”February” …and so on.
3.     Pass this string as a parameter to an HTML definition through a GetHtmlText function. This HTML definition in turn will a have a JavaScript logic to resolve this delimited string into
meaningful value-description pairs and use them to override the intended dropdown list.
Below are the steps in detail:
Step 1:
Find out the html element-id for the dropdown field from the html source-code of the PeopleSoft page from the browser. In HTML, the tag for a dropdown field is <select> </select>
The element-id is set by the id attribute of the <select> tag. This id would be used in Step 5.
Step 2:
Add a field of type Long Character to any work record that you may be using on your page for buttons, hyperlinks, etc.
Step 3:
Add an HTML-Area to the page (preferably alongside the dropdown field which needs need to be sorted). In the properties of the HTML-Area, assign the Record-field used in Step 2 above.
Step 4:
Create a HTML definition from the app-designer and add the below JavaScript code to it and save the definition.
<script>
var j=0;
var str=new String('%bind(:2)');
ar1=str.split("|");
var fld = document.getElementById("%bind(:1)");
fld.options.length = 0;
fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option('', '');
while (j<ar1.length)
          fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option(ar1[j+1], ar1[j]);
                j=j+2;
</script>
Step 5:
Write peoplecode on an appropriate event to generate the concatenated string of value-descriptions delimited by a pipe “|”. A pseudocode for the same is shown below. Here the HTML id for the dropdown field and the value-description string are passed as parameters to the JavaScript shown in Step 4; and JavaScript thus created after substitution of the Bind values is assigned to the value of Record.Field used in Step 2 & 3. The location of the below peoplecode may vary depending on the when the dropdown list needs to be sorted.
Local string &strDropdownValues;
&strDropdownValues = "1|" | "January|" | "2|" | "February|" | "3|" | "March|" | "4|" | "April|" | "5|" | "May|" | "6|" | "June";
<Record.Field>.Value = GetHTMLText(<HTML.DPS_DROPDOWN_HTML>, "<DROPDOWN_ID>", &strDropdownValues);

How to keep sort order in Shuttle item's source and destination boxes?

I have defined a shuttle item on a page and the list of values in the source box is populated by a SQL with sort order specified. In the Settings of the shuttle item, Show Controls value is set to Moving Only instead of All. When a user moves selected values from the source box to the destination box or vice versa, the list of values does not maintain the original sort order. For example, if I have 26 values A through Z, a user can put value Z before A in the destination box. And when a user move A from the destination box to the source box, A is the last item in the source box. The reset button clears everything in the destination box and resets the source box to the original sorted list. This is not the solution that I am looking for. I would like to see the items in the source and destination boxes to maintain their original sort order all the time.
Is it possible?

How to change Finder View Arrange Date Created sort order

When yoo go to a list of photos in a file under Finder, they can be sorted in different ways, but the most common one for me is by Date Created. That's all good, but they come out with the latest date first on the list and the earliest at the bottom. I prefer the opposite to be ideal, but I can find no way or information on how to reverse the sort order. Any help out there? Thanks.

Hi, Richard -
Look for a small triangle in the column's title bar/button. Click on that triangle - it should switch from pointing down to pointing up (or vice versa), indicated the sort order has been reversed.

Sort Order in Column Browser iTunes 10

Several versions back, the sort order was numbers first and then letters. In other words, sorted in ascii sort order. For some reason, iTunes decided to change this. Will you please put an option in iTunes to change it to ascii sort order. Thank you so much.

First give the list a "kick" by sorting by some other fields, closing and reopening iTunes, and then sorting again by Artist.
Also look at the Sorting tab and make sure the tracks do not have data that could be interfering with the Sort Artist, namely Sort Album Artist.
If neither of those helps, you have probably discovered a bug in 9.1, which you can report here:

Message sort order

I want to change the default message sort order so messages are listed by most recent first, instead of oldest first in the mailbox.
I've been reading about modifying the message list here:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6010-10/uicst.htm#13511
and just want to confirm that if I modify the meSortOrder variable in the main.js file, will that change the default message list for all existing mailboxes displayed in webmail?
Also, does anyone know for sure whether the variable to list the newest messages first is meSortOrder=last or meSortOrder=L ???
My system specs:
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 Patch 1 (built Jun 6 2002)
libimta.so 5.1 Patch 1 (built 06:07:28, Jun 6 2002)
HP-UX wwcc B.11.00 A 9000/879 674411361 two-user license
Thank you - Forrest

Yes, thank you Jay - and I am working towards that now - in part due to the information you shared.
But the question I am faced with will remain, can I change the default webmail message display from "oldest first" to "oldest last" on the system level. And at this time, I'm not sure if a newer version will change that default.
So, from what I've read, in part from this Messenger Express customization guide:
http://docs-pdf.sun.com/816-5986-10/816-5986-10.pdf
you need to change the SortOrder variable to 'last' in the main.js.
From my tests, this does not work. There seem to be preset variables options, and 'last' is not one of them. However, there are two more variables that look like they could affect this change: 'sorting' and 'orgSort'. Does anyone know how to change this setting to have the newest messages displayed first?
Thank you,
Forrest

Sort Order on Iphone not the same as on Itunes

Hi, after one of the recent Itunes updates I noticed the sorted order on my play lists is no the same on the phone.
I like to sort by date modified so that my pod casts are in the proper order on the phone. I can work around this by manually picking the next podcast, but still the problem remains and is a software issue which should be fixed.
So, anyone else notice this?
Thanks,
Mike

Yeh I've noticed the same thing, ever since this new iTunes update.
Clearly in iTunes I have my songs sorted in alphabetical order but when I sync to my iTouch the same playlist in the iTouch sorts in a random order.
My smart playlists in iTunes are sorted in alphabetical order, when I sync to my iTouch, all the songs muddle. Whereas normal playlist will sort in the order as I tell them to in iTunes, which follows up on the iTouch.
Weird :S

Sort order of Imessages and SMS

In previous IOS versions, when you deleted a Imessage or an SMS, the sort order of message automatically changed to last date. In IOS 8.1 the sort order
doesn´t do this, which means that if you delete a message send today and the one before that was sent yesterday, the message is not moved "down" my list and counted as from yesterday it still stays as if it was sent today.
Could you please fix this.
Thx (Apple 6 User)

The issue isn't really the T in The Beach Boys. The issue is the inconsistency between the sort in Finder, the playlist sort in the side bar, and the sort within Music.
1) If you make a smart playlist The Beach Boys, it will be sorted in the side bar under T, not under B.
2) If you make a smart playlist 409 (containing The Beach Boys' song 409), it will be sorted at the top before the letter A. In Music, it will be at the bottom, after the letter Z.
While this behavior may be of long standing, it is still inconsistent. I think we should be given an option as to how we want to sort numbers and punctuation marks. I assume that the american english sort order is not imposed on other language versions of iTunes. It shouldn't be difficult to allow the sort to match the locale of the computer, so that iTunes sorts match Finder sorts.
P.S. Most of my files are wave files from old records and tapes. I chose to name The Beach Boys The Beach Boys and The Beatles Beatles, i.e., I chose to put one under T and one under B. Only The Band, The Beach Boys, The Who, and The Soul Stirrers were worthy of the extra The, to be sorted under the T's where I wanted them to be (sorry Beatles).
