Sort Statement
Hi,
In my custom program, I have issued a SORT command on my internal table.
SORT it_itab by hkont prctr gsber waers.
After the SORT command, the relative sequence of entries in the internal table having the same set of values for the fields mentioned in the SORT command, is different in ECC 6.0 when compared with 4.6C results.
Has anybody faced a similar situation?
Is there a functionality difference in SORT in ECC 6.0?
Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Binu
Hi,
For sort statement, there is no difference between 4.6C and ECC6.0.
You can debug your program, before and after sorting the internal table, you can check whether the internal table changes the sequence.
Or you can put your code here to make us more clear what happened.
Thanks and regards,
Chris Gu

Hi Gurus,
I have this problem, I am trying to sort a internal table with the syntax after endselect statement and before read table statement
SORT ITAB_SBOOK BY NAME
name is a field in the table of type CHAR length 25 in actual table and here is how i am declaring name
in internal table
name LIKE stravelag-name
but the sort statement is not executing properly, names are being printed on the screen but they are not
being formated.
can some one tell me whare am i wrong ?
thanks.

Edited by: Suhas Saha on Dec 25, 2011 7:55 PMHi
as per my knowledge there is slight diff between type and like keywords
type key refer the data type of a field where as like key refer the reference of existing internal table in this just refer the data types not content(data)
example:
types:BEGIN OF ty_itab,
matnr type mara-matnr,
matkl type mara-matkl,
mbrsh type mara-mbrsh,
ersda type mara-ersda,
END OF ty_itab.
data:itab type STANDARD TABLE OF ty_itab.
data:wa_itab type ty_itab.
we want to create one more internal table with the existing structure at this time we will go through the like keyword.
jtab like itab occurs 10.
and also check the following code.
REPORT sort.
types:BEGIN OF ty_itab,
matnr type mara-matnr,
matkl type mara-matkl,
mbrsh type mara-mbrsh,
ersda type mara-ersda,
END OF ty_itab.
data:itab type STANDARD TABLE OF ty_itab.
data:wa_itab type ty_itab.
select matnr matkl mbrsh ersda from mara into wa_itab.
APPEND wa_itab to itab.
ENDSELECT.
SORT itab by mbrsh.
write:/ 'matno',' mat group','industry sector','created on'.
loop at itab into wa_itab.
write:/ wa_itab-matnr,wa_itab-matkl,wa_itab-mbrsh,wa_itab-ersda.
endloop.

SORT statement is not working!
Hi frdz,
Below SORT statement is not working. Can any one explain me why this is happening.
SORT i_bseg ASCENDING BY belnr bukrs
DESCENDING kunnr.
I have table content as below.
BELNR BUKRS KUNNR
0016000000|CROP |
0016000000|CROP |0008910168
Before and after the sort content order is same.
I want to sort the content like below.
0016000000|CROP |0008910168
0016000000|CROP |
Is there any thing wrong with the sort statement???
i_bseg is defined as TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF
Sort criteria must not change i. e ascending by belnr and bukrs and descending by kunnr.
Thanks,
Vinod.hi vinod,
this is because on your statement, you are sorting BUKRS in descending order and KUNNR in ASCENDING order.
please take note that the sort order should come after the sorted field. if no order is given, the default which is ASCENDING will be used.
do your sorting like this
SORT i_bseg BY belnr bukrs kunnr DESCENDING.

hello friends
please tell me if i apply sort condition in sorted table what will happen
whether it show some kind of error or it run or anything else.
thanks...nothing happens but the code gets executed...
unnecessarily sort statement should not be used in programs if there is no read of data... -
App Store does not retain sort state when returning from viewing an individual app to the full list of apps. If the full list spans more than one page, the page you were on is also not retained.
I have no idea if this is a bug, a feature (or lack thereof), or an oddity on my computer. Since I can't find any other way to request a feature or post feedback to Apple, I'm putting this here.
If by some chance this is an issue with my computer only or I'm missing some preference somewhere (ha!) I'd appreciate any help provided by the community.
-sYes, it is indeed VERY frustrating that the App Stores don't return you to where you left off browsing if you stop to click on an app to read more about it. Once you're done reading about an app that interests you, you're dumped right back at the beginning. So, just to get back where you were, you may have to plow through ten pages of apps. I get so fed up with being whisked back to page 1 all the time that I just give up and leave the App Store in disgust. I hate wasting my time paging backnthrough all the apps I've alread covered. ALSO, when looking over GENIUS recommendations on the App Store, why is it that even when I click on NOT INTERESTED for a given app, the app just stays there? It's like my clicking NOT INTERESTED has no effect whatsover. What's the problem with the App Store?

How to persist af:table column sort state within a session?
Hi,
I have an af:table in my page with the columns sortable="true". So when click on the header of any column, we can sort the column. Our users have a requirement that after they do the sort by clicking one of the column headers in the af:table, then they navigate to another page in our application and then come back to this page, they want to see the same sort order of data. How can we persist the sorting state in af:table?
Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks
-MinaHi,
I am not sure this is doable because the underling data collection may be changed on other views. You can use a sort listener and intercept the sort order selected by a user to persist it in the session or else where (keep in mind that using the panelCollection component you could also have a sort order that spans multiple columns). When you navigate back to the view you then have the information to order the data accordingly.

How to Remove Sort State in Table after display it in Table
Hi
I use the method below to sort the columns before displaying to the user and it works okay
FieldKey testKey = new FieldKey("testField");
FieldKeySortCriteria testCriteria = new FieldKeySortCriteria(portCodeKey, true);
this.getRowRecord1().addSort(testCriteria);the problem is in every rows i have edit button where user can edit and update particular row.
the problem occurs whenever user change the value for particular field that is being sorted the row will jump randomly according to the sort rules.
My Question is , how can we remove or disabled sorting as soon user see the result so it wont be jumping around if user changed the value of particular field that is being sorted.
i dont find any removeSort() function in Rowgroup
is there another way??
Thanksi tried to put
rowGroup.clearSort() in my Destroy() Method but is not disabling the current state of my rowgroup
what it does is the moment i click edit button for particular row
that row will jump to some other page ( because i did pagination on my table ) because the sort has been cleared .
How do i clear and use the current state of my rowgroup after it has been displayed. -

Possible bug using count in sort statement
I think there may be a bug in using count as the means to sort nodes. Below is an example of what I am describing. It appears that when the sort is performed the number of nodes is accurately calculated for each item. I printed the values out and hand counted the elements in the xml to ensure this to be the case. What appears to happen is the count value is treated as a string and not an integer, so the comparison is lexical string compare and not integer compare as would be expected. So 2 ends up being greater then 10. Has anyone else come across this?
<xsl:template name="Sort" >
<xsl:apply-templates select="//item">
<xsl:sort order="descending" select="count(.//Skill[contains(@name,$SKILLS/@name)])"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>Never mind. I am a total tard and forgot to set the data-type to number

Is sort an expensive statement
Hi Experts,
Is it good practice to use sort statement before ,
Select for all entries statment.
Before select for all entries statement we are checking about if not Itab[] is initial.
Is sort an expensive statement.
Thanks in Advance
Irfan HussainHi Irfan
you have sort the internal table on the same field in which your for all entries condition is then it will improve your performance.
for ex.
sort itab by vbeln.
select * inot table itab1 from vbap for all entries in itab where vbeln eq itab-vbeln.

JTable sorting - problem when adding elements (complete code inside)
I�m writing this email with reference to a recent posting here but this time with the code example. (I apologize for the duplicated posting � this time it will be with the code)
Problem: when adding more elements to the JTable (sorted) the exception: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
Example: If the elements in the table are 10 and then the user requests for 8 � the table will produce the correct result. However, if the user will ask for 11 items (>10) the exception will be thrown.
The program: The program below (compiles and running). A JTable is constructed with 3 items, when you click the button - the return result should be 4 items - this will generate the error, WHY?
I would highly appreciate your thoughts why this is happening and most importantly � how to fix it.
Thanks a lot

}The table listens to the TableModel for changes. Changing the table by adding/removing
rows or columns has no affect on its table model. If you make changes to the table model
the table will be notified by its TableModelListener and change its view. So tell
MyTableModel about the change of data:
public class TableSorterDemo implements ActionListener
MyTableModel tableModel;
public TableSorterDemo()
defaultListModel = new DefaultListModel();
init1();
tableModel = new MyTableModel(defaultListModel);
TableSorter sorter = new TableSorter(tableModel);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
if (ae.getSource()==clickMe)
defaultListModel.removeAllElements();
init2();
tableModel.fireTableStructureChanged();

Upgrade -- Sort sequence difference in ECC 6.0 and 4.7
Hello friends,
We are in an upgrade project where the upgrade is from 4.7 version to ECC 6.0 version.
We are facing few problems on sort when testing our Z developments.
Suppose the internal table in the program has fields A, B and C.
We are using the sort statement --> sort itab by A.
In 4.7, the sort statement sorts the internal table first by A and there is no specific sequence followed for B or C.
Whereas in ECC 6.0, the sort happens by A followed by B and C.
So, the final result is, for the user, the output appears different, although the data is the same.
Please let me know how can we make the output in ECC 6.0 appear as in 4.7.
Thanks & Regards
SwapnilHello Swapnil,
Check for the SORT keyword in transaction abapdocu. You may see the changes made to the functionality in the newer versions.
Thank You,

Order by preffered over sorting.
Hi All,
SELECT ITAB ORDER BY preferred over SORT ITAB
which one is more preferable??
For example I have the selection query:
SELECT matnr
werks
charg
clabs FROM mchb INTO TABLE i_mchb
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_qals
WHERE matnr = i_qals-matnr
AND werks = i_qals-werk
AND charg = i_qals-charg.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
SORT i_mchb BY matnr
werks
charg.
If I want to implement the same by using Orderby in the select query instead of seperate SORT,
what should the query be like?
and which is preferable and why?
Thanks,
Debrup.Hi,
Instead of Order BY in select statement Sort is preffered. Order by consumes the Database time.
Preferebly the Sort statement is better. -
Sort Order option disabled when using OBIEE analysis?
Hi everyone
I've build a BIP report using the online layout editor. My data model is based on an existing OBIEE analysis. When I go into the data model and go into the properties of a column, the Sort Order option is somehow defaulted to "No Ordering" and the dropdown menu is actually disabled, so I can't change anything. Is this normal/expected functionality or am I missing something somewhere?
ThanksI don't think it is possible. Here are the sort statements in this program.
<u>Without Serialization</u>
sort t_idoc_control_r
by sndprn sndprt sndpfc mestyp
mescod mesfct test serial.
<u>With Serialization</u>
sort t_idoc_control_s
by sndprt sndprn obj_type chnum chcou.
In neither of them, the document number is used. There is no guarantee that they will be processed in the document number order, even if serialization is used.
