Sorting by multpple fields

Why can't I sort by multiple columns at any one time:
e.g. 1. by artist (abc)
2. date
3.date added...
Why only one sort method at a time??

I am afraid this is a user group, we don't know Apple's inner thoughts. But you can post suggestion on their feedback form:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Have you discovered that you can click on the text "Album" in the header row to toggle between sorting by Album/Album by Artist and Album by year? If not that may help a bit.

Is it possible to sort by multiple fields?

Is it possible to sort the music library by multiple fields in a prioritised order? For example, I would like to sort by the following columns, in the following order:
Album Artist
Album
Track Number
for some reason I can't seem to do this, sorting by Album artist alone is not working for me, as some CD's I've imported have featured artists and this breaksup the listing order.
Thanks

Thanks Thomas
Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me, cover flow still shows multiple instances of the same artwork for various groups of tracks from the same album.
The thing I don't understand is why sorting by the "sort album artist" field does not group all the tracks from an album together.
My specific example (I still can't get a screenshot posted):
I have two Gwen Stefani albums, both ripped from CD (not imported from the itunes store). both albums have a majority of track where Gwen is the only artist and two or three track with featured artists. I have filled the "album artist" and "sort album artist" tags to all read Gwen Stefani, however, if I sort by either of these columns (in cover flow mode), what I get is this:
all the tracks from one ablum where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then all the tracks from the other album where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then (in alphabetical order by featured artist) the remaining tracks from both albums - ie, the albums are mixed up
for each group of track I see an cover flow art work.
I should say that I have turned off the compilation tag on all of my albums because this ends up saving the file in a compilation folder, not in the artist folder on my hard drive - but it doesn't make a difference either way to the way I see the files sorted in itunes.
It's really frustrating!

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

Collections.sort() - sort on multiple fields?

I have a collection of objects in a List that I need to be able to sort on each field individually. For example, the data in the List is eventually displayed on a table in a web page. The user is able to click on a column header and the table is to be refreshed with the list contents sorted by that column (asc/desc).
I would rather not re-query the DB for this list (it's pretty static and already saved in memory). So if I use the Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator() { ...} ) method, is it possible for me to pass the field/direction of the sort into the Comparator? Or, do I have to define individual Comparators for every field that the user can sort by and surround it all by an ugly switch statement?

Honestly I think that a re-query to the DB is the best approach. Remember that any decent DB engine will cache queries so it will really only have to re-perform the sort algorithm.
Commercial databases are very fast and almost never the source of a performance bottleneck.
I realize this isn't the answer you want, but in my experience it is the best solution, if you really can't stand to re-query then as mentioned creating your own comparator is the way to go.

What is needed for sorting on two fields in a table control

Hi Everybody
I am going to certification in a couple of days. I need some help and was hopeing that you guys could help.
What is needed for sorting on two fields in a table control?
     One sorted table and two processing blocks
     Two standard tables and one processing blocks
     Two standard tables and two processing
Which one is corret??
//Script

Hi Kimallan
I am not sure what is meant by a "processing block". However, it seems the question wants the original table order to be preserved. If so; as far as I understood the problem we need:
itab_proxy[] = itab_main[] .
"two standard tables"
SORT itab_proxy BY field1 field2 .
If we have a sorted table, then it is always sorted by its keys. So, the question seems to become obsolete for that option.
Hope I've understood correct...

Is it possible to do sorting on multiple field inside a GROUP

Hi
I am wondering if it is possible to do a multiple sorting on multiple column/fields?
When I right click on Change Group on the report
on the "Change Group Options" window, it only has one field which allow you to sort in ascending/ descending order.
I notice that it also has another checkbox which called Use a formula as Group Sort order, I am not quite sure how to use it to sort multifield/column.
E.g.
I have a table which has 5 fields
I would like to sort it by TotalSpend, TotalEarned, Department, ...etc
I would be grateful, if you can show me how to do a group sorting for multi column/fields
Thanks in advance.

To Sastry,
Thanks for your information, unfortunately, I am using Crystal report XI.
To Sandra,
<<Yes, go into the Group expert and select them in the order in which you want them sorted>>
Do you mean create different group to do the sorting?
Could you show me how to create a formula which allow crystal report to do the sorting on multi-field.
Thanks in advance.

Sorting of a field in view cluster

Hi All,
Is there any way to sort a field in main screen of view cluster.
SE54->Edit view cluster->Test. I want to sort a field in main screen, after pressing test.
Is there any event for this?
I know the events which get called after pressing test, but tables TOTAL and EXTRACT are blank in these events so I can't sort them.
Pointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Seema

hi
In your method there would be a parameter ie ON_TOGGLE where you can write the name of your event .
Whenever your checkbox will be clicked that event wil be called.
You can write your code in that event itself.

Group Sort on formula field

I am using CR Professional 11.5 on Windows XP/Progress platform.
I have a formula field that calculates the GM% on the Employee Group Footer level and want to sort the employees in descending order by GM%. I have gone in circles trying to calculate this field differently in order to be able to perform a Group Sort but this GM% cannot be summarized, which would allow me to use the Group Sort Expert.
The fact that GM% is used in businesses world-wide each and every day makes this unbelievable that it should prove to be this difficult. Is there something that I am missing as a newbie to CR design?
Any help provided is greatly appreciated!

That's so awesome! If only I knew how to use sql commands! Everytime I try to create one it has errors that I dont' understand. Do you know of a site for sql syntax that might help me to do this? I have looked and can't find what I need to make this happen.
So what I need to do is to use 'Formula Workshop' and create a new SQL Expression Field? Using the formula above, how would this look in SQL?
Thank you so much for your help...I am so grateful!!! I have been working on this for months and keep hitting this snag. I first started out using a cross-table and got confused because you can't summarize the GM% so I then changed the summary to 'weighted average of GM% with Tech/Rev' so that helped, but the Total per Employee has been keeping me stumped.
Thanks again.

IPhone Music Sorting - Album year field

Hi
I originally posted the below in the iPhone section, but I think it may be more appropriate here.
I have a selection of radio shows and podcasts that I want to sort into a certain order on my iPhone, but no matter what I do in iTunes I cannot get them to display correctly. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Split the 'songs' into 'albums', with one album for each series/ group of podcasts.
2. Made sure that all of the 'songs' are correctly labelled in the 'info' tab. The following is the same for all songs:
     - Artist
     - Album Artist
     - All other fields are blank (with the exception of 'Year' which I will come on to later)
3. Changed the 'Album Sort' field on the 'Sorting' tab so that the albums are sorted in chronological order and the actual title of the 'album' is ignored. e.g.:
     - XFM Series 1 (from 2001) is labelled as 'A' in the 'Album Sort' field
     - XFM Series 2 (from 2002) is labelled as 'B'
     - XFM Series 3 (from 2003) is labelled as 'C'
     - XFM Series 4 (from 2004) is labelled as 'D'
     - Radio 2 shows (from 2005) are labelled as 'E'
Doing the above gets the albums to display perfectly in iTunes, with them being sorted in chronological order as dictated by the 'Album Sort' field.
I then synced the albums onto my iPhone and expected all to be well, but instead found that when I went to the 'Artists' tab they were listed in reverse chronological order (newest album first). So to fix this I went into iTunes and tried the following:
1. Went into the 'info' tab for all albums and set the year to 2001 for all. As the year is the same for all it should now sort by 'Album Sort' in theory. That didn't work though so I tried...
2. Set the years in reverse order for each album, so that the latest series 'Radio 2 shows' was labelled as 2001, and the oldest album 'XFM Series 1' was labelled as 2005.
That still didn't work, but even more strangely when I view the album on the iPhone a different year is being displayed under the title, e.g.:
XFM Series 3
12 Songs, 686 mins
2006
I have checked that album in iTunes and 2006 is not contained anywhere on the album or song info tabs. I have tried to add a different year in the year field, and also delete the year field, but no matter what I do 2006 continues to be displayed.
Where is this year being held within the file and how can I change it? I checked the ID3 tags for a song from that album in VLC and could not see 2006 referenced anywhere.
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

Group sort using 2 fields

Is there any way that I can have two fields as a group sort in order that the first group sort field will repeat when the second field changes?
Thanks.
Leah

One possibility would be to create a calculated item (ItemA||ItemB), and use that as a hidden group sort. Not sure about your platform, but in Desktop, you need to specify the item as a 'group' sort, then change it to 'hidden'. You would still display your original items, but don't sort on them.

Sort By Header Field

Dear experts,
When i try to understand sort how exactly its working i got this below.
SORT [ASCENDING|DESCENDING] [AS TEXT] [STABLE]
... BY <fi> [ASCENDING|DESCENDING] [AS TEXT]...
Ends the creation of the extract dataset of a program and, at the same time, sorts its records. Without the BY option, the system sorts the dataset by the key specified in the HEADER field group. You can define a different sort key by using the BY addition. The other additions specify whether you want to sort in ascending or descending order, and whether strings should be sorted alphabetically.
Without the BY option, the system sorts the dataset by the key specified in the HEADER field group.
How to define header with Key?
Regards,
Kiruthika.

You can use the SORT option for Plant field if you only need the Sorting in ascending order .
In case you also want to have something like : Title : Plant 1 ( description plant 1 ) -. you have to manually insert a line in the ALV for every new plant.
