Sorting and filtering by select-multi person or group field in the list in SharePoint 2013

Hi everybody,
In SharePoint 2013, I have defined a column as "Person or Group" field, which you allow for multiple selections. when I try to sort/filter it by this field in the list. The field doesn't show up in the dropdown. If I changed "Allow multiple
selections" option to "No" by clicking the column name to edit it in "List Settings", the field can show up sort in the dropdown.
How about support sorting and filter by select-multiple "Person or Group" field in sharepoint 2013?
BTW, in SharePoint 2010, it can support this issue no matter what the "Allow multiple selections" option the request is.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Jodie

Hi Jodie,
Can you please give this as a try.
To fix the Filter Issue on Assigned To Column. We need to run the following scripts.
The field which allows more than one values or which allows multiple selections. The multi-valued fileds are non-sortable,
non-filterable. Multi-valued fields cannot be indexed
$web=Get-SPWeb
$list=$web.Lists[] $field=$list.Fields[ColumnName] $strSchema=$field.SchemaXml $str=Schema$strSchema.Replace("Sortable=`"FALSE`"","Sortable=`"true`"")
$field.SchemaXml = $strSchema

Thanks for your reply, I have tried to run the scripts, but it still cannot work. The following is my scripts:
$web=Get-SPWeb 'http://cst-server-01'
$list=$.web.Lists["Product Request"]
$field=$list.Fields["Applicant"]
$strSchema=$field.SchemaXml
$str=Schema$strSchema.Replace("Sortable='"FALSE'"", "Sortable='"True'"")
$field.SchemaXml = $strSchema

Problem with sorting and filtering of table

Hello,
using VC 7.1 SP5 I have created [this|http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2460/screenshotsr0.png] model. The webservice returns a collection of structured elements. The table is meant to display values of top-level attributes. This works as expected.
However, the table cannot be sorted or filtered. What is the reason for this? How can I fix that?
I tried to store the result of the web service in a data bridge. That did not succeed.
Best regards
Alexander

Hi Natty,
How are you trying to sort it?
I want to be able to sort the table by clicking on the table column headers. Furthermore, I want be able to filter the table by using the built-in table feature. However, table sorting and filtering seem to be disabled for this particular table, whereas other tables in my model provide the desired features.
Best regards
Alexander

Split Grid, loose sorting and filtering

Is this the intended behavior? I would rather have my sorting, and filtering retained when using the split knobs.

While it is not intended, it is a side effect of splitting. When you split the data grid you have 2 full grids which don't know anything of each other. So in the top you can use 1 filter while in the bottom use another and then compare data between the two.

How to modify person or group field value with new value

Hi
I have person or group field having property Person Only.
Thsi firls already have one value. Now I want to update it but this code to update value is not working.
string myName = @"ABC\myname";
web.EnsureUser(myName);
SPUser myUser = web.SiteUsers[myName];
SPFieldUserValue myNamevlaue = new SPFieldUserValue(web, myUser.ID, myUser.LoginName);
oSplistItem["My_x0020_User"] = myNamevalue;
oSplistItem.Update();
I am getting myNamevalue correct in the veriable. But why its not updating in the list?
is there any issue in the above code?
Do I need to delete previous value and then update new value in this field? How?

Hi,
The format of the user value in people/Group field must be
ID;#Name, you can use the following code snippets to update the people/group field.
string loginName = "ABC\\myname";
SPUser user = web.SiteUsers[loginName];
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("ListName");
if (list == null)
Console.WriteLine("list is not exist!");
return;
SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(3);
item["My_x0020_User"] = user.ID.ToString() + ";#" + user.Name;
item.Update();

Jason

How to add users from person or group field in a sharepoint list to sharepoint group

Hi,
How to add users(single or multiple) from person or group field in a sharepoint list to sharepoint group programmatically?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
AA.

Hello,
Use SPGroup.AddUser() method to add user in group. I have just written sample code in notepad so it is not tested:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using(SPSite Site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
Using(SPWeb Web = Site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists["ListName"];
SPQuery query=new SPQuery ();
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title' /><Value Type='Text'>Test</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(query);
if(items.Count > 0)
foreach(SPListItem item in items)
//Get USers from person or group column
SPFieldUser userField = (SPFieldUser)item.Fields.GetField("Users");
SPFieldUserValueCollection userFieldValueCollection = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)userField.GetFieldValue(item["Users"].ToString());
SPGroup spGroup = spSite.RootWeb.Groups[groupName];//group name
if (users.Count != 0)
bool isUserInGroup = false;
foreach (SPFieldUserValue user in users)
foreach (SPUser item in spGroup.Users)
string itemUserName = item.LoginName;
string UserName = user.User.LoginName;
if (itemUserName == UserName)
isUserInGroup = true;
break;
if (!isUserInGroup)
spGroup.AddUser(user.User);
The above code will query list item and then get users from "Users" column. Now it will check whetehr user is already in group not, if not then add user in group.

HT1310 I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up.

I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up. I can choose which startup up disk when I'm already booted up from settings --> Startup Disk but how do I know if my Macintosh HD internal drive disk fails I'll be able to boot from my supposedly bootable backup drive?
What am I missing? I have the latest Mountain Lion, could this be bug in that new Op System?
Does the startup drive list (before bootup) only show up if the Macintosh HD is not bootable (crashed or broken)?
Dave

Replugging my keyboard into my front USB2 slot was half the solution. I had my keyboard plugged into a KVM switch which goes into the back. The other half was that I needed to unplug my backup firewire hard drive from the front port to a chained drive with the source hooked into the back of the Mac Pro. Not sure if it was the cable or the firewire slot that gummed up the hardware startup hard drive selection diaglog.
I also tried resetting the NVRAM and only got one Mac startup sound. That didn't seem to do it but then again it could of been a necessary condition as well.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Person or Group colum in the SharePoint list retrieves empty value for Mobile phone property

Person or Group colum in the SharePoint list retrieves empty Mobile phone for some users although thoses users have Mobile Phone values in the User Proifles. This happens only for some users. For some users it shows Mobile phone for
some days and after some days it dess not show Mobile Phone though Mobile Phone entries are in the User Profiles for those users.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Narayana,
According to your description, my understanding is that the person or group column retrieved an empty value for Mobile phone in SharePoint 2010.
Please go to the hidden User Information List using
http://<SiteCollectionUrl>/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx , check the value of Mobile phone.
Please go to CA->Monitoring->Review job definitions, scroll to User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization
and
User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization, make sure they work well.
In addition, please take a look at :

I hope this helps.

If I am browsing on site such as Ebay or any shopping site, and click on an item, when I return to the search page I am once again at the top of the page and have to search down for where I was in the list of items.

If I am browsing on site such as Ebay or any shopping site and click on an item, when I return to the search page I am once again at the top of the page and have to search down for where I was in the list of items. This is not only on Ebay it is everywhere I search. Firefox goes back to the top of the page . It is annoying to have to figure out exactly where I was if I left the page and then returned. This is a hinderance when using Firefox. I have considered uninstalling it because of the inconvenience of 're-searching' after already doing a search. Firefox used to take me right back to where I was if I left a page, but that feature is not working now. I am not sure how to change this in the settings.
