Sort Rows by Color?

I have color coded some of the rows for a project I'm working on and would love to sort all the 'colored' rows together. Is there a way to sort by the color that I've chosen to fill each row with?
When I had only two colors I was using a workaround. I added a check-box column and had one color = a check mark. That allowed me to sort the checkbox column. Now I have four colors and this doesn't work any more.
Any ideas?

Quick & dirty solution:
Add a column with the header marked 'color'
Then use numeric or text entries: Red, Blue, Green, Black, 1, 2, 3, 4 ... a, b, c, d, or whatever for your color codes in that column.
Then sort by the 'color' column.
Now mark the 'color' column as hidden.

CC,
You probably had something in mind when you applied the colors to the text. It's always best to record the conditions directly rather than to indicate them indirectly by by use of color.
You can use Conditional Formatting to do some color coding based on the condition. You might even find that it's easier to let the conditional format tool than to assign the colors manually.

Sort rows by fill color?

Is it possible in Numbers to sort rows based on the row fill color? There are only 2 colors the rows have as background (fill), and it would save time to sort based on the highlighted row. Any ideas?
Thank you-

I agree with jerrold.
I will certainly not ask Apple for such a feature.
Here is a script which may give you an efficient response.
property columnOffset : 2
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set {rName, tName, sName, dName} to my getSelection()
if (character 2 of rName) as text > "9" then
set columnLetter to text 1 thru 2 of rName
else
set columnLetter to character 1 of rName
end if
set twoNames to my decoupe(rName, ":")
set {colNum1, rowNum1} to my decipher(item 1 of twoNames)
set columnToSort to colNum1 + columnOffset
tell document dName to tell sheet sName to tell table tName
set myColor to background color of (get properties of range rName)
set nbRows to count rows
repeat with r from 1 to 14 --nbRows
set val to background color of (get properties of range (columnLetter & r & ":" & columnLetter & r))
set val to (val is myColor)
set value of cell r of column columnToSort to val
end repeat
end tell
end tell
--=====
on getSelection()
local mySelectedRanges, sheetRanges, thisRange, _, myRange, myTable, mySheet, myDoc, mySelection
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1
set mySelectedRanges to selection range of every table of every sheet
repeat with sheetRanges in mySelectedRanges
repeat with thisRange in sheetRanges
if contents of thisRange is not missing value then
try
--return thisRange --poorly formed result
thisRange as text
on error errMsg number errNum
set {_, myRange, _, myTable, _, mySheet, _, myDoc} to my decoupe(errMsg, quote)
--set mySelection to (a reference to (range rn of table tn of sheet sn))
return {myRange, myTable, mySheet, myDoc}
end try
end if -- contents…
end repeat -- thisRange
end repeat -- sheetRanges
end tell -- document 1
end tell -- application
return {missing value, missing value, missing value, missing value}
end getSelection
--=====
on decipher(n)
local letters, colNum, rowNum
set letters to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
if (character 2 of n) as text > "9" then
set colNum to (offset of (character 1 of n) in letters) * 64 + (offset of (character 2 of n) in letters)
set rowNum to (text 3 thru -1 of n) as integer
else
set colNum to offset of (character 1 of n) in letters
set rowNum to (text 2 thru -1 of n) as integer
end if
return {colNum, rowNum}
end decipher
--=====
on decoupe(t, d)
local l
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to d
set l to text items of t
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return l
end decoupe
--=====
Select a cell with the color to use in the sort.
Run the script.
It will fill the column whose offset from the selected one is defined by the property 'columnOffset'
If the background of the cell in the source column is the searched one the value will be 1
if the background is not this one, the value will be 0.
So it will be easy to use a condition.

Sort and fill color SSRS

I have one report i want to sort the year as well as month change the background color row wise.
like
2011    january          red
            february    red
          march             green
2010
           january            red
           february             green
           march              pink
According to the color column text color name   the row background color has to be change.

Hi,
Once you rendered the data in the Tablix. You can do Group by Year and Sort by year & Month. Hope you have done like that only as per the screenshot i understood. Since the month is in characters if you sort the month it will come like this only. So
we can write a Case statement to identify the months in number (if January then assign 1, Feb then assign 2 like that) and have this number in a separate column as month_order. While sortiing give "Sort by Year,month_order". This will satisfies your sorting
issue i guess.
And color the row u did't give in detail so i understood like alternative row. U can use the below expression in the row background color property "=IIf(RowNumber(Nothing)
Mod 2 = 0,
"Silver",
"Transparent")"
Thanks & Regards,

Change row's color in report painter

Hi all!!!
anybody knows how change row's color in report painter,
for example
number   name        | money
   7020   payments1 | 100.00
   7021   payments2 | 200.00
    summary            | 300.00
change color of row "7020   payments1" and "7020   payments1"
Regards!!!

Hi,
For it, first place the cursor on the row and choose Formatting > Row. In the next dialog box, select a color (for totals, subtotals, inserted rows, or for emphasis). The system assigns a color based on the selection you make here.

Displaying Alternate row as colored in Cross tab

Hi,
I have a report where I need to display alternate rows as colored.
There is some data in detail section followed by a cross tab in the report header section.
While I am able to display alternate rows as colored in Detail secction for displaying alternate colored rows in Cross tab data I need some help.
Data in cross tab is like this
              history geography
Tammy   90          60
Sid         80          50
Julia       70        40
In cross tab for displaying alternate colored rows ie for alternate student names I am using two formulas
- for displaying row values I am using this one
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar d;
d := iif(d=100,255,100);
color(255,255,d);
For displaying alternate colored inner cells ie marks I am using this formula
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar c;
c := iif(c =255,100,255);
color(255,255,c)
I got these formulas after doing Googling
My cross tab is present in report footer and in the generated report it comes separeated in two pages.
In the first page data for Tammy and Sid is displayed while Julia is displayed on next page.
Now the Tammy is coming as yellow colored and as expected Sid is coming as white colored. However Julia which is on next page is coming as white , but logically it should have come as yellow. On the other hand my column data ie marks column is coming fine. Data for tammy and sid is coming as alternately colored and data is Julia on the next page is coming as yellow(as data for Sid is in white)
I am not able to understand why this is happening and what is the correct way to do alternate row coloring in cross tabs

Where is your variable c being reset.
If in page header or group header and you have repaet group header on new page then c will be reset on each page.
If In groupheader try adding this to reset formula
if not inrepeatedgroupheader then

JTable - row focus color

I wrote a program which will change the color of each row.
odd row background color will be white
even row background color will be gray.
My doubt is?
if i move the mouse on the any row, that row should have a different background color (dark of row background)

I tried with DefaultTableCellRenderer, but it is not

AdvancedDataGrid Row background color

Hope someone can help, I wish to highlight an entire row or rows that match a value. I assumed the stylefunction would get me there but I have not found the style refering to the row background color.
Any help please.
Thank You

The solution I found was to extend the data grid class, add override to the draw background and add a rowcolorfunction. When using item renderers you must use the style function with the alternatingItemColors so the renderer gets the color correct and not opaque.
Thanks looking saisri2k2.

Sorting rows by choosen column.

What kind of Array(Map, or any other data structure) should I use, if i want sort all rows by values in j-th column.
Suppose i need to store data like this:
Name | Surname | Telephone
---------| ---------------|--------------
Dawid| Olaf | 3422353
Jack | Ugly | 7872347
Mike | Opis | 38483848
And now i want sort all rows by Surname.
Is there any covenient data structure to make such things ?

Why you asking for ?
I'm simply not familiarize with data structures in java and i thought that there is data structure in java like array, with possibility of sorting rows by choosen column.
I think the only way to do that is use sortAllRowsBy(DefaultTableModel model, int colIndex, boolean ascending).

MS Query...cannot write sorted rows error

I have an MS Query report crated and it was working well until i tried to remove a Criteria Filter within the query. I get an error "Cannot Write Sorted Row". If I acknowledge the error, the change to the criteria is not saved and it reverts to
the original setting. I had several columns sorted, of which i deleted the SQL code for sort thinking that may help. I also tried to delete the Criteria Filter via the wizard and directly in SQL but that did not help.
Any suggestions of what may be the issue?

This is a Power Query forum and so it's unlikely you'll find MS Query experts here. That being said, did you try using Power Query for your scenario?

Sort rows in JTable except the last row

Hi All,
I have a JTable, which contains columns with numbers. The last row contains column sums.
I want to be able to sort rows, but the last row with sums must remain motionless.
Does anyone know the solution of this problem?
Thanks in advance.

These two posts are my example. It works pretty good but there is one significant niggle - when moving a column the 'total' table does not move smoothly but it does move. I look forward to 'camickr' reducing this to about 1 line.

Changed the layout of the inner panel so that the secondary table is now in the CENTER. This stops the secondary table becoming detached from the primary when one expands the frame beyond the prefferred size.

IDCS3 - Sort Rows in a Table

Hello...is it possible to sort rows of text alphabetically in a table created in ID? Can't find any reference to that in Help.
Thanks!
Lisa

Sounds like your easiest solution is to use the ORDER BY clause in your SQL statement:
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_orderby.asp
If that won't do the trick, this might help:

Row background color in dataTable control based on criteria

It is relatively straightforward to give a pattern of color to rows in a dataTable control, for instance to alternate colors from white to gray.
However, I have not yet figured how the row background color could be decided based on data fields associated with each row. For instance, I would like to set the row background color based on the value of a boolean attribute associated with the row, e.g. white if value is false and gray if it is true.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Martin

of the text, but not the whole cell. I need to find a
way to change the span at the row level (on the <tr>
tag). ANy ways to do this?
MartinThis is a question of how to let the renderer adjust its behaviour depending on the current state of the model. My renderer changes the background for the selected row by changing the style class:
        writer.startElement("tr", table);
          if (table.getRowSelector())
               if (table.isAtSelectedRow())
                    writer.writeAttribute("class", "selectedRow", null);
etc.(of course, to be able to do this you must write your own renderer)

Is it possible to give an added row a Color.

Hello I read data of a txtfile and than place the data in a jtable.
I know how to give a selected row an other color but my question is:
Is it possible to give an added row a Color.
I make the new row this way
moddellist.addRow(new Object[]{data,""});
Now I want this added row red is this possible.
I don't know what the rowIndex or Cell number is.

The colour of a cell in a JTable is assigned by a TableCellRenderer. If you look at how that works, all it knows is the object in the cell, the table, the row and column number, and whether the cell is selected or focussed. It doesn't care when things happened.
So if you want your TableCellRenderer to colour your cells based on something that isn't in that list, then you have to modify the design of your object, the one in the cell, so that it contains information the cell renderer can use to decide what colour to render it.
Based on your description I can't say much more than that, because it's hardly a complete description of how the colour scheme is supposed to work.
And by the way the people in the Swing forum are better at answering Swing questions.
