Sort Order Driven By Other Field In PowerView on a Relational Source

Hi,
Is there a way to sort an attribute in a chart by a different attribute that is not shown in the chart on a relational source (as e.g. possible with a PowerPivot table source where you can specify to use a different field as sort order)? I achieve the desired
result as per below:
but I of course don't want to show the sort order attribute in the chart.
Thanks for your help!
Martin

Hi Martin,
Do you mean you want to sort the chart by a attribute that not shown in the chart and not in the datasource, right?
Could you please descript the requirements more clearly.

Sort Order: Case insensitive... move NULL to end of list

Hello All,
I am trying to sort a set a values, and NULL is a possible value. In the report I am displaying the NULL as EMPTY (I cannot leave that as NULL). I was wondering if there is a way to display this 'EMPTY' value as the last element in the list.
I tried to append various ASCII characters in front of it, but nothing seems to work. Even is if enclose it in parenthesis, is does alphabetical sort.
Is there a work around ?
Thanks for your time !

Nemi, Deborah,
According to SAP Note 1200528 - Web Intelligence does not utilize special characters when sorting, this 'issue' is by design and not by design.
The following is a copy-paste from the note:
Symptom
When attempting to sort a Web Intelligence document on a particular column, special characters such as "-" or "." are not respected. For example, add the following into a database and then create a Web Intelligence report.
a-Austria
a-Austrailia
a-Belgium
a B-Argentina
a B-Brazil
a B-Egypt
When you sort this data in Web Intelligence it appears as:
a-Austria
a-Austrailia
a B-Argentina
a B-Brazil
a B-Egypt
a-Belgium
Cause
This behavior is by design. For Enterprise XI Release 2, the Lexicographical order of the International components of Unicode has been implemented. This order sorts with respect to the language set for a data source. This means that if we modify the sort order for English, other languages that we support will also have changes in their sort order. In this case we must do our best to respect all the languages that we support.
For more information please go to http://icu.sourceforge.net/
Resolution
To work around this behavior, complete one of the following:
Workaround 1:
Create a formula on the field such as
"=Replace([Col001];"-";" ")"
This will replace the - with a space although for this example the sort will be in the same "wrong" order, it will look much nicer.
- or-
Workaround 2:
Create a custom sort:
1. Select the section cell or table cells you want to sort.
2. Click the down arrow next to the Apply/Remove Sort button on the Report toolbar then select Custom... from the drop-down list.
Best,
Srinivas

Are the database tables stored in a sorted order?

Hi-
Are the records in a databse table stored in a sorted order based on key fields??
Thanks.
Ramesh.

A,
Unfortunately, this is not a clearly or fully explained concept in the BC400 class.
As stated in the course text, the ITAB will have the "order" of the DB table.
This may or may not be in actual key order. It depends on whether or not the primary key index is ALWAYS kept up to date / ordered by your DBAs.
This is rarely done as it is very "expensive" to the system... vitually impossible to be truthful.
Because of this, you can never GUARANTEE in a Production system that all records are stored in a primary key order. To guarantee ordering, you must FORCE the system to order the result set through:
ORDER BY
or
SORT after the database retrieval is completed and the result set is returned to the App server

Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?

please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it! Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums. If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added. Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new. iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

Photo sort order is wrong on my ipad

The sort order is fine on my mac mini, but it's not on my ipad ipod touch or my iphone, the photos don't have the correct sequence, they're all messed up...

Sort order where? What verson of iPhoto are you running on your Mac? I understand that the sort order on a phone or iPad is strictly date related and in iPhoto's albums they can be manually, by title, etc.

This is open source, bro. You can't make anybody do anything, but you might encourage some admin to ban you if you willfully break rules. If you can't break open the source and fix the problem yourself (which is surely the most speedy solution!), you're better off following community procedures and being as helpful as possible. Otherwise you'll just be excluded and ignored.

Site Index Tree (SIP) portlet / sort order of entries

How can I change the (alphabetical) sort order in the site index portlet to something else?
Thanks,
Frank

Unfortunatelly, it does not work.
What happens instead?
Let's check some background information:
What version of Frame, on what operating system ?
(there's some chance of Unicode issues here)
This document is a book ?
The body files of this book were created in the same version of Frame you are using to update it ?
This book has an separate index file xyzzyIX.fm ?
This file is generated (book menu, Edit > Update Book) ?
The content and formatting of this index is correct other than sort order ?

Portuguise sort order in Index

There are one Grouptitle (Â) in the index in FrameMaker, that is do not work properly, when I generate the Index automatically. What I do wrong?

graphisoft,
I assume you have to remove "<$alphabetics>" from your SortOrder paragraph. AFAIK it is either <$alphabetics> or you give the sort order manually. I am confused by the "*Éé*" in your sort order. I assume that each letter is supposed to appear only once within a sort order.

DRM: Use of Sort Order property?

Hi,
There is a property by the name Sort Order and is a local, hidden and system defined property. Would like to know the use of this property and the usage of the property in DRM.

Hello experts,
Is there a way to disable node sorting order or in other word enable sorting in any order the user wants? There is no one particular rule that can be applied. I tried to create a derived Sort property and assigned it a value/formula of just 0 or 1. When I dragged a node around and tried to drop it as a sibling somewhere else higher up in the tree under the same parent, I got this message: "1: The server returned an error processing CopyNodes: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."
Thank you!

Any way to set the sort order other than in the query?

The report has an OrderBy parameter so the user can select which field is used for sorting. The query has an OrderBy clause referencing the parameter. The problem is that it doesn't always pay any attention to the parameter. (Since it appears to be intermittent my suspicion is that it really never pays any attention to it but that sometimes whatever actually is determining the order gives the same results.)
The problem is that putting an OrderBy clause in a query is the only way I know of to determine the output order of a report. Is there any other way?
Thanks.

Unfortunately Break Order doesn't seem to be controlling the sort order. I found that the value was set on numerous fields but I've changed them all to None & it still isn't displaying in the order specified by the OrderBy parameter.
Note that this is a 'form layout' report with one page/record so it doesn't really have columns-but the pages are supposed to be printed in the order chosen by the user from a list of values. It doesn't seem to matter what's selected from that list though, the output appears in the same order as if no Order By clause is specified.
Can you think of anything else that would cause the report to ignore the order by clause?
thanks.

Change the sort order (ascending/descending) based on parameter field

I have created a formula on a subreport to change sorting based on variables.
select {?Pm-@Sorting}
case "property_type_desc ASC" :
{owned_property.property_type_desc}
case "property_type_desc DESC" :
{owned_property.property_type_desc}
default:
({owned_property.property_type_cd}; )
how can I change the sort order ascending and descending using the formula??
Thanks, Jessica

Try this
1. Create a parameter with 2 default values in the picklist: Descending and Ascending.
NOTE:
In Crystal Reports version 5 or 6, it is not possible to have a pick a parameter value from a list. The user must enter a specific value, guided by the prompting text. For example : To Sort in Ascending order type A, to sort in Descending order type D.
u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Parameter', then click 'New'.
u2022 Type the name and prompting text for the parameter in the corresponding boxes.
u2022 In the 'Type' box, click 'String'.
u2022 Click 'Set Default'.
u2022 In the 'Value to add' box, type 'Descending' then click '>' to move it to the 'Default Values' list.
u2022 Repeat the above step for 'Ascending'.
u2022 Click 'OK', then click 'OK' again to return to the report.
2. Create 2 formulas based on the field you want to change the sort direction on:
u2022 On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Formula', then click 'New'.
u2022 Create this formula:
@Asc
If {?Parameter} = "Ascending" then
u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor. This brings you back to the Formula tab of the Insert Fields dialog box.
u2022 Click 'New' and create this formula:
@Des
If {?Parameter} = "Descending" then
u2022 Save this formula and close the Formula Editor.
u2022 Click 'Close' to return to the report.
4. Sort the report based on these two formulas.
u2022 On the 'Report' menu, click 'Sort Records'.
u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Asc} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Ascending'.
u2022 In the 'Report Fields' list, click {@Des} and move it to the 'Sort Fields' list.
u2022 Under 'Sort Direction', click 'Descending'.
u2022 Click 'OK' to return to the report.
Once you preview the report you will be prompted to select a parameter value, which will determine how the report is sorted.

Raghavendra

Updating Sort Order on a field?

Hi
i have a customer table. i am displaying them in sorted
order. but now i have added 1 field call SortID.
now when ever if i add a new entry ...i want to sort it and i
want to assign the sorted it for that.
ex:
aaaa > 1
bbb > 2
ccc > 3
if i add aaa1 ..then its sort has to become 2 and goes
one....
how to update this...using and update command....
thx in adv.

Your method is likely doomed to failure, and you will
probably end up spending an inordinate amount of resources
attempting to "re-sort" your data. Like Dan is implying, if you can
determine what the sort order is from information in the other
columns of the table, why on earth do you need a SortID column?

Defining sort order using parameter fields

Post Author: vandersee
CA Forum: General
I've created a report, the contents of which is sorted depending on a parameter selected (method used is as described in the help topic entitled "Defining sort order using parameter fields". Is it possible to vary the Sort Direction (ascending/descending) using parameters also, so that if I choose to sort by field A it will be ascending, but descending if I choose to sort by field B?

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: General
You can create a Parameter {?Sort Order} make it a string, and add items A to Z and Z to A and a formula and sort the group using the formula.
Group Expert, select the group, select options, check use a formula as group sort order
if {?Sort Order} = "A to Z" then crAscendingOrder else crDescendingOrder
And your group will sort based on what is selected in the parameter.

I tryed to sort my pictures with buying Apps and following suggestion from apple, but without any success. In my opinion, the real solution is for Apple to offer us a choice of the photo sort order in ITunes. My preference would be filename, perhaps with options to choose the Date Taken attribute, file timestamp or date modified filestamp.

Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.
