Sort Order on Membership Web part

Hi,
We are using 'Membership' web part on one of the pages on our publishing site to show the team sites links for a user where a user has been added into the 'Members' sharepoint group for each team sites.
On MySite under Membership tabs same links are shown for the respective user but they are sortable where as in the 'Membership' web part there is no option of sorting the links. Pelase see the screen shot below:
Is there any way to modify this webpart to add alphabatical order?
Regards,
Kashif

Hi,
As there is no such OOTB feature in the Memberships Web Part can meet your requirement, a workaround is using JavaScript to reorganize the order of links after the page loaded.
The links below about sorting DOM objects for your reference:

  • My Membership Web Part Cannot be use for My Site

    Hi All,
    I want to use my membership web part in side my site to display community/team/project site that my site owner belongs to. However when i add my membership webpart into sharepoint 2013 mysite, the web part appear HIDDEN.
    Does sharepoint 2013 no longer support my membership web part usage inside mysite? do anyone know the work around?

    Membership webpart basically unsupported(some extent) and being replaced by new feature i.e site followed by.
    i think its better idea to remove it, because i am sure it cause alot of issue.
    check this kb, this for 365 but true for 2013.

  • Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

    Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
    [Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
    Here's my experience:
    1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
    Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
    You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
    If it asks for a password, use---
    user:earthling
    pass: draf1 )
    "preserve all metadata" is checked.
    I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
    2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
    3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
    Thanks for your help!!

    BTW, here's the related issues I found:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
    ...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....
    =Don't have line breaks, nor "and" nor &...
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bff9de1/0
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

    OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
    1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
    2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
    3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
    ([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
    4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
    5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
    Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

  • Content Search Web Part - Sorting not working

    I recently tried the new Content Search Web Part for which i see tremendous potential. I wanted to use it to show a certain type of pages and that was not a problem (i added a url as the source where i got the pages from). I mapped the correct fields so
    that it showed image, title and modified date. I then tried the advanced mode and told it to sort by the modified date, however any way I tried to apply this sort it just would not save my settings and reverted back to the default sorting. Is there anything
    else you need to do to get Sorting to work?
    /Anders

    I hadn't tried looking with REST, but that's a good suggestion.
    In the interim, I found this on TechNet:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj679902.aspx#BKMK_MapCPtoRefinableMP<o:p></o:p>
    When you search for a crawled property, you may find two crawled properties
    that represent the same content. For example, a site column of type Text named
    Color will during crawl discover two crawled properties: ows_Color and
    ows_q_TEXT_Color. Crawled properties that begin with either ows_r<four
    letter code>, ows_q<four letter code>, or ows_taxId are automatically
    created crawled properties. When you select a crawled property to map to a
    refinable managed property, make sure that you don't map the automatically
    created crawled property. Instead, always map the crawled property that begins
    with ows_.
    So clearly (as clearly as the doc makes it) I need to use ows_ArticleStartDate. I've made sure that crawled property is the one I'm using, but I'm still not seeing any effect.
    As for the sorting model, that only seems to be relevant for Rank sorting, right?

  • Sort order in web filter window

    Hi All,
    Is there a way of specifying the sort order of a characteristic in the web (v3.5) filter windows?   When you try to filter on specific values of a characteristic, the window returned displays the characteristics ordered by key rather than by text which is not helpful to the users.   Can I change this ordering by any means to be related to the characteristic's text instead some how?
    Regards,
    Graeme Seggie.

    Thanks Olivier.
    The sorting property was already set to be based on text and this is reflected in the results of the query displayed.  However the filter box does not seem to behave likewise.  Also, limiting to text only doesn't change the sort order, it is still ordered by the hidden key unfortunately.
    Graeme.

  • CUCM 9.1.1 ucmuser web sort order of controlled device profiles

    Hi !
    Anyone has an idea, how the web interface for the users (ucmuser) does sort the controlled em device profiles ?
    Or even better how to change the displayed sort order ?
    Changing the order of controlled device profiles in the user configuration in ccmadmin does not change anything in ucmuser.
    And the controlled device profiles in ucmuser seem to have no recognizable order at all, but the order keeps being the same,
    regardless any changes we make in ccmadmin.
    Thanks
    Ralph

    Hi.
    You can export all UDP.
    Edit it with Excel
    filter only entries with empty user
    Upload the modified file as UDP- UDP Delete Custom File
    Select delete device profile from BAT menu

  • Visio Web Access web part connection order

    I have a Visio Web Access webpart that is currently connected to 3 different query filter webparts.  Here is what the query filter webparts are doing
     - #1 - This is passing in the page name to the "Web Drawing Url and Page Name" connection
     - #2 - This is passing in the shape name to the "Shapes to Highlight" connection
     - #3 - This is passing in the shape name to the "Shape to View" connection
    #2 and #3 pull from the same query string variable because I want to highlight AND center/zoom on a selected shape.  Everything works fine if I am already on the default page for the drawing but if I need to have it show a different page the highlighting
    works but the center/zoom functionality does not work.  
    I assume this occurs because it is doing the zoom/center before it changes drawings.  I tried changing the order in which I made the connections so that the center/zoom would come last but that did not work.   
    How can I make it so that it will do the center/zoom on pages that are not the default?

    I have 3 query string filter web parts and they are all connected to the Visio Web Access web part through the browser.  There is no problem in setting up the connections.  The problem is that trying to change pages, highlight a shape, and zoom
    in/center on a shape in the same page load does not always perform as expected.  Here is a more elaborate description of what I'm doing:
    I have two query strings, "OfficeFloor" and "Employee" which are being passed into the web page.  The query string web part for "Web
    Drawing Url and Page Name" grabs the page name from "OfficeFloor" because each of my pages in the Visio drawing represents a floor plan ("1st Floor", "2nd Floor", etc.).  The query string web parts for "Shapes
    to Highlight" and "Shape to View" BOTH pull from "Employee" because each shape in the Visio drawing represents
    where an employee sits.  So an example request for the page would be "http://www.website.com/EmployeeFinder.aspx?OfficeFloor=3rdFloor&Employee=BobSmith" which would ideally make the Visio Web Access web part go to the page for the 3rd floor and then
    zoom/center and highlight where Bob Smith sits.
    If the "3rd Floor" page is the default page for the Visio web access then it works fine and it zooms in, centers on, and highlights the "Bob Smith" shape.  However, if the "3rd Floor" page is not the default then it will only highlight
    the "Bob Smith" shape and NOT zoom in/ center on it.  

  • Content Query Web Part - Sort Libraries by Name

    Hello,
    I created a Content Query Web Part that lists all Libraries under the current site (preferably it would be better to list only the Libraries on the current site but I couldn't manage to do it). However, the libraries are not sorted in any way.
    The query is the following:
    Path:{Site.URL}* contentclass:STS_List_DocumentLibrary  -Title:Assets  -Title:Templates 
    Whatever I select on the Sorting tab nothing happens, the results are displayed still in the same way, please see attached screenshot.
    PS: I also want to do the same things to lists the subsites - which I also couldn't do to list only one level *Below* the current site - any tips appreciated.
    path:"https://sharepointsite.com/sites/Test/Acquisitions/"  contentclass:STS_Web  Title<>Acquisitions

    Hi,
    Did you use the content search web part?
    I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment, it works well without any issue.
    Did you set the sort by Title in the SORTING section?
    I set the query just like yours:Path:{Site.URL}* contentclass:STS_List_DocumentLibrary  Title:docs  -Title:incoming 
    Then set the sort by Title in the sorting section.
    You can check whether you have configured the SORTING option, then check whether it works.
    Note: By default, the Title property is not enabled the sort option, you can configure it in
    Central Administration->Manage Service Application->Search Service Application->Search Schma

  • In our web site the product sort order under our categories are random with Firefox but IE, Chrome is alright, any ideas?

    The sort order of products under our categories on our web site is random with Firefox, but the categories with products are in the correct order with IE, Chrome, etc. This incorrect order with Firefox occurs on various computers, i.e. Windows 7, XP, etc. and is not consistent. To make matters worse, sometimes it is random with Firefox and then returns to being correctly sorted but IE, Chrome, etc. are always in the correct order.

    Works fine here for me, even after refreshing.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Duplicate groups in Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

    Hello,
    I'm facing one weird issue in CQWP. I've a document library in SharePoint 2010 site where I have 2 columns - Title and Document Type. The column 'Document Type' is a Single line of Text column and mandatory. Users have entered bunch of documents in this
    library by populating the metadata.
    On one wiki page I have a CQWP where I'm showing the documents of this library grouped by 'Document Type'. The problem I am facing is that some documents are showing in different columns even though their 'Document Type' value is exactly same. Please see
    below screenshot:
    You can see that the documents under 'Industry Group Publications' are showing in 3 different columns, why?
    My CQWP settings are:
    Presentation: Number of columns to be shown: 5 (I've changed it to 3 also, but the same result)
    Group items by: Document Type and sort order is Ascending (I've tried changing sort order as well, same result)
    Limit number of items to display: This checkbox is unchecked (unlimited)
    It's not just one case. I've seen this issue on other sites as well where same 'Group by' column value is being shown in different column rather than under same column while values are EXACTLY same.
    Has anybody else faced this issue? What's the reason and solution to this problem?
    Thanks in advance!
    --Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment. I created a content query web part displaying one library documents. The library has two columns, title and document type. However, document type is a single text column you need to manually write content
    into.
    I set the web part to group items by document type and left other settings to be by default. It worked as expected. I’d like to know if there is any difference from your situation, especially for the document type column so I can reproduce the issue from
    my side.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2010 - Searching for a commentBox web part

    Hello!
    Im sort of new to Sharepoint and i have been working with it in two weeks now. Im currently an full controll user on the site my company is using and im also using Sharepoint Designer. The site is running on Sharepoint Foundation 2010
    I have been digging for sometime after a web part that enables users to leave a message on the home page. I want the same fuction as i get when i create a BlogSite (there you can create posts and comments).
    My first thought was to find a Web Part which will allow me to do this, but i was sort of wrong. I found some examples like this: social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/newthread?category=sharepoint&forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    Im still trying to make that work but so far no luck.
    So i was wondering if there is a better way to create a function that will allow users to create posts/comments etc?
    Thanks for any help!

  • Any way to Restore Last Manual Sort Order or Prevent from being Overwritten accidentally?

         Help!
         I'm constantly accidentally overwriting painstakingly created manual sort ordering (sometimes hours but more often months of accumulated work) in folders with files numbering up to 1,000, when i, however breifly, switch to another sort ordering (size, date modified etc) to check something, immediately forget that i'm in another sort order, and, unthinkingly (actually i guess i'm thinking of a lot of other things) drag a file to another position, this immediately destroys any past manual sorting i've established, overwriting it with this new inadvertent manual ordering.
         I've tried CommandZ (edit undo) but that only undoes my last rating or labeling, i've rushed to force quit Bridge through the activity montior hoping i will catch it before its overwritten, but obviously i am not as fast as a computer, and i don't think this has ever worked.
    Is there any way or any script someone has written to formally save a manual sort order? Is there anything i've missed to attempt restoring it? Has anyone, repeatedly foiled by this, written something that would give a warning and require confirmation say for instance, if i tried to drag or move a file while in another sort ordering (this seems like something that should have existed the minute the opportunity was given to create manual organization). Would anyone be willing to?
         Seriously, me forgetting almost every time isn't going to change and, more vexingly, it's even happened when i didn't mean to move anything but fumbled momentarily while in another sort order. I think most people might forget because (in the context of computing) we are conditioned to expect a warning if something we have just created is about to be written over or discarded, and since there is no option to formally save a manual ordering we have just created.
         Also, if this was in the real world, moving a single file would not reshuffle everything on your desk. If i had the option to formally save a manual organization i would NOT forget to do this and would use it, as i've wished for one every time spent a while rearranging files. Knowing how easily all the hours (much less months and years of cumulative work) of organizational work can be accidentally lost makes working within Bridge unpleasantly anxious.
          I'm literally willing to do anything including installing some sketchy 3rd-part scripts (though honestly i have no idea what that means or how to do it). I extentively use and rely heavily upon this function so this is a fairly serious Achille's heel. It's like watching your incredibly important meticulously constructed house of cards collapse with a careless but innocent sigh, or like having the equivelent of a not even charming cat dance across your keyboard during a live concert, etc etc....
         Also it is not usually appropriate, given the context, to batch rename everything to preserve a manual ordering w sequence numbers, etc. Often the filenames are considerably (but necessarily, to connote important differences) long already, and when i have to rearrange things in the future would have to do that each time, etc, etc, making for even more unwieldly filenames that didn't have any substantive information at the beginning. I'm looking for a way to make this function (manual sort ordering), well, more functional, secure and stable, the workarounds i've considered cause too many additonal problems.
         Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer, and as this is my first attempt to use the forums as i live on a boat with no regular net access, would appreciate any forum etiquette corrections, and advance apologies for any misspellings, dyslexic and spellcheck does not seem to work in this interface. next time will edit in external wordprocessing program beforehand,
              li'l mc szpf
         PS i'm on a 27" mac w CS4 Design Premium, w up to the minute OS (10.6.8) and Adobe software updates installed recently (i do not often move the monster but this week was housesitting w net access, so she has had all recommended shots and vaccinations....)
         PPS I know most of y'all might be running the newest and the latest of everything, but, i'm fairly certain this is still a problem in recent versions as this has happened to me at school where all the macs are running cs5. Though if it's been addressed somehow in cs6 would update entire suite just to fix this one problem in Bridge. I've tried many searches and found nothing relevant or wouldn't bother the considerable expertise and resources of an official forum, was extremely hesitant to ask (feared getting snapped at for unwittingly broaching forum etiquette) but it is truly the bane of my considerable Bridge existence, so was willing to risk the imaginary censure and opprobrium....

    That is a good question, to do this requires two functions and a restart of Bridge all done automagically
    Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
    This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
    PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
    MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
    Start Bridge
    PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
    Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
    At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
    Close and restart Bridge.
    Accept the new script.
    To use:
    Tools - Backup Manual Sort
    This will backup the hidden manual sort file .BridgeSort to .BridgeSortSave
    Tools - Restore Manual Sort
    This will copy the .BridgeSortSave back to .BridgeSort and will close and restart Bridge so that the manual sort is restored.
    if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
    var backUpManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Backup Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "backupms" );
    var RestoreManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Restore Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "restorems" );
    backUpManSort.onSelect = function () {
    var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
    var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
    if(fileSave.exists) fileSave.remove();
    fileSort.copy(fileSave);
    fileSave.hidden=true;
    RestoreManSort.onSelect = function () {
    var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
    var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
    if(!fileSave.exists){
    alert("No backup file exists");
    return;
    app.document.sorts = [{ type:"string",name:"document-kind", reverse:false }];
    if(fileSort.exists) fileSort.remove();
    fileSave.copy(fileSort);
    fileSort.hidden=true;
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
    app.documents[0].close();
    app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
    Hope this works for you.

  • Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

    Hello,
    When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
    This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
    The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
    My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
    ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
    UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
    LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
    ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
    newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
    newListItem["Title"] = title;
    newListItem.Update();
    clientContext.Load(myList);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    The code in the webpart is this:
    SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
    Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
    {"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
    {"Title", txtTitle.Text}
    SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
    int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
    DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
    ds.Item["Title"] = title
    ds.Item.Update();
    why is the sort order wrong?
    if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
    <OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
    if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
    i don't get it....

    Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:
    Uploading documents using object model - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms454491(v=office.14).aspx
    Uploading documents using web services -
    http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html
    If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
    be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:
    <Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>

  • XSLT List View Web Part Error when Using Group By

    I have a Tasks List created a tasks list in SharePoint.  The Tasks (normal OOTB template) list works fine in the normal view, however, I have created an XSLT ListView Web Part that points to this tasks list.  When I set the web part to display
    a view with a "Group By" rule, it returns an error:
    "Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT:

    The list has just over 1000 items and the threshold is set to 5000, I have tried indexing the column that I am "grouping by" just in case and that has not worked.  
    Has anyone experienced this issue before?  If so, what steps can be done to display the XSLT List View Web Part properly?

    Thank you for the response.  I tried the above link and it didn't seem to solve the issue; in fact, when I clicked on Common Control Tasks there wasn't any Data View Tasks such Filter and Sort & Group.  
    Perhaps some more information would shed light on a solution. I created a list template including content of the task list in question. I  was able to display the new list in an XSLT List View Web part with grouping enabled.  However, I noticed that
    the "Related Content" column was completely empty (it was there, it just had no data in each row).  What is the source of this Related Content? I know it is a system column that appears when Workflows generate the item in the list but could it be the
    reason for the Web part being unable to display with groupings?
