Sorting columns in editor.

Hi,
I haven't found anything written so far on sorting columns by clicking on the column header in the data tab of the editor. I find that particular operation fro sorting very useful.
Thanks.
JC

if you are looking at a result set from some SQL, then there is no sort buttons, functions, etc.. excpet for you to change the SQL. Be nice to be able to click on the data grid headers though, eh?
If you are browsing table data via the DATA tab in th etables tabs, then you will see 'Sort...'. Click it to define your sort. You get to this by clicking on a table name. Be nice to be able to click on the data grid headers though for simple one attribute sorting, eh?

A simple question about wrong sorting with multiple sort columns in Excel 2010

Hi, everyone! I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to explain.
So I post it here because I don't know if there is another more relevant forum...
I have a data sheet with the students' scores for the course.
All the data were generated with the randbetween function,
and pasted with the values.
To rank the students by their performance,
I did the sort with the column "total score" as the first sort-column
and "final term" as the second.
The weird thing to me is that the order of the data seems problematic.
That is, all the rows are sorted correctly with the first sort-column.
But for the rows with the same values of the first sort-column,
there are some rows whose values of the second sort-column are out of order.
(please look at the data file at
www_dot_kuaipan_dot_cn/file/id_67204268108546068_dot_htm
Please change the "_dot_" to the real literal dot.
Especially the rows with 56.7 as the first sort-column value
and some other values near the tail of the list.)
I tried to manually input and sort the same values of both columns
in a near-by region. The result was correct.
When some friend copied all the data to paste in Notepad,
and reload them in excel. The problem disappears.
Some friend also tried to wrap a round function at the values of the 1st sort-column,
the sorting order became correct!
But they could not explain why either.
How confusing! I even tried to swap the first and secod sort-column;
the output was right.
All the data were generated by randbetween function and pasted with values.
Where could all the special characters, if any, come?
Can anyone give me an explanation? I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Sort is not in proper order
Sounds as if the data includes spaces or hidden characters that are affecting the sort.
That is indicated by the fact that manually entering the data resolves the problem.

How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report

hello,
How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report ? For example something like "fsp_sort_1_desc" - if the user sorts by the first column ?
I cannot use the :REQUEST for this, sometimes the current sort column is not in the :REQUEST, but it is still active.
I thought it was posssible by using
APEX_UTIL.GET_PREFERENCE (
p_preference IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_user IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT V('USER'))
RETURN VARCHAR2;
function, but I don't really know which preference should I pass as parameter.
looking in WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$, i saw preferences_names like FSP4000_P527_R6281510839654570_SORT , I'm not sure how this name is formed.
I'm using generic columns for that complex report (which has a flexible number of columns shown), and the idea is that sometimes I have to overwrite that sort column, in case the user chose the version of the report with fewer columns than the previous one.
Can I get (using API) a list of all preferences set for some user ?
Thank you,

seems that it is FSP<app_number>P<pagenumber>R<regionnumber>_SORT.
is there anyplace where I can get these kind of things documented ?
Thank you.

Problem in specifing the intial sorting column of a report

hi
we have a report based on a table with 6 columns in our home page .we display all the six columns as sortable.
we also need to sort the contents of the report by 4th column by default when ever the user logs in ,but what happens is ,report gets sorted automatically depening upon the previous sorting column selected
is there any way of telling htmldb to sort the report by 4th column ..
many thanks
S.Jawahar

hi ,
this infotype has a interesting solution . In my case it was for US country .
We select the veteran status and this is field P0077-VETST which is stored in DB table .
Now based on this value and the molga of that pernr we need to look at the T5UVT table for the combinations avaliable for MOLGA AND VETST .
Based on the config's of this table the screen values are getting populated .
It dosent allow any combinations and the picked values are passed to the screen for fields Q0077-VETS1 VETS2 VETS3 VETS4 .

Locking and sorting columns

This is what I am trying to do:
Lock the information in column A so it always stays there (1st, 2nd , 3rd, etc.)
Sort Column C (total winnings) in descending order and keep the coresponding participants (column B ) with the amount.
Create a value in Column D (4 behind Leader) that shows the difference between C3 and C4, C3 and c5, etc.
The amounts and names are filled from another sheet and change weekly. I can sort based on total winnings and the names follow. I can also create a formula to show the difference between the Leader and the next place participant however when I do a sort based on Total Winnings after the new values each week the Place and $Behind Leader always shift up and down. The information in Column A seems "locked" to the information in Columns B and C. The refernce in Column D is always Chris's amount and I want it to be refenced to the 1st place Participant.
I hope I've explained this.
Thanks - James

Hi j&s,
Numbers uses a data base model that treats each row of a table as a single record. You can sort all or selected rows on the values in one or more column(s), but the whole row moves to maintain the integrity of each record.
If you want some columns to be excluded from a sort, you need to remove those columns (or their data) from the table. Jerry has offered a way to do that for the rankings, but that solution will not resolve the issue of the 'leader board' cells acting badly in a sort.
Here's an alternate. The first view is of the table(s) (with the participants in alphabetical order), just after the current totals had been entered.
At this point, the Leader board, which pulls names and totals from the first three body rows of the data table, shows the correct cells, but these don't include the correct information.
Note that column A does show the correct placing for each participant.
The second view shows the same table(s) after the data table has bee sorted. The sort may be descending on column C (Totals) or ascending on column A (Place).
Place is calculated from the Total values, using this formula:
A2: =RANK(C2,C,largest-is-high)
Fill down into the rest of the cells in column A. Any empty rows should be removed from the bottom of the table, or have zeros entered into their total column cells.
The Leader board table has two formulas:
A2: =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,1)
Fill down to A4.
This returns the name of the participant in the top body cell of column B of the data table.
B2 contains the word "Leader"
B3: =IF((OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,1,2)-OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,2))>0,OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,1,2)-OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,2),"Leader")
Fill down to B4
The root of this formula is OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,1,2)-OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,2)
This returns the total value from the first and second body cells in the total column, and subtracts the second from the first.
The rest of the formula is an IF statement tohandle the occasions where there's a two or three-way tie for the lead. (image below) If the result is greater than zero, the subtraction is repeated and the result returned to the cell (B3); if the result is zero, the word :Leader: is returned to this cell.
Placing the calculation in a separate table and using OFFSET, with a base cell (Data::A1) that is in a row defined as a Header row makes this table and its formulas immune from sorting of the Data table.
Here's the tie, which arose when i added another 11 particpants to check sorting of the Place column:

Barry

Sorting within sorted columns?

Is it possible to sort columns by say artist & say track names all at one time? If so how is this done?
Thanks in advance

Yes, it is.
Use the Songs view, and turn on the Column Browser. Then select the artist you're interested in and finally click on the Name column so the arrow points upwards - as shown below:
<picture>
While the artist is highlighted, the additional (greyed out) selection of "All Genres" and "All Albums" ensures that every song by The Beach Boys is shown, even if they are from different genres.
This doesn't work for artists who only appear on compilation albums though. There is a way to see them, but it's a bit more involved.
To do this, use the Songs view, and turn on the Column Browser. (Oddly, the shortcut for the Column Browser - CTRL+SHIFT+B - isnt working in iTunes 11.1.3.8, so click on the View/Column Browser/Show Column Broswer if you have the same problem. CTRL+B will turn on the menu bar at the top (with View on it).

Sort column in advanceddatagrid

Hi, i have an interesting question - how to sort column id
datagrid, like i clicked on a header. I use AdvancedDataGrid and
HierarchialData

Yes, it works for HierarchicalCollectionView, but works for
only first level of the tree. Like I sort an XMLListCollection,
comparefunction handles only full elements of the first level. I
need also to sort children nodes of the thee (customer wants).
I have done it for XMLListCollection which is the source of
HierarchialData but it's too many letters =)) and i need sort it
and refresh HierarchialData after every change. Advanced datagrid
makes it automatically by pressing on a header.
Here is the code:
quote:
public static function
sortXMLListCollection(xml:XMLListCollection,dataField:String):XMLListCollection
var sorting:Sort=new Sort();
sorting.fields=[new SortField(dataField)];
xml.sort=sorting;
xml.refresh();
for each(var item:XML in xml)
XMLUtils.sortXMLNode(item,sorting);
return xml;
public static function
sortXMLNode(node:XML,sorting:Sort):XML
var tempXML:XMLListCollection=new XMLListCollection(node.*);
tempXML.sort=sorting;
tempXML.refresh();
XMLUtils.clearNode(node);
XMLUtils.appendXMLListInXML(node,tempXML.copy());
for each(var item:XML in node.*)
XMLUtils.sortXMLNode(item,sorting);
return node;
public static function
appendXMLListInXML(xml:XML,xmlList:XMLList):XML
for each(var appendXML:XML in xmlList)
xml.appendChild(appendXML)
return xml;
public static function clearNode(xml:XML):XML
for(var i:int=new
XMLListCollection(xml.*).length-1;i>=0;i--)
delete xml.*
return xml;

00904 error when sorting columns that require double quotes

We have used an ETL tool to import an XML file into Oracle 10g. The column names are mixed case and unfortunately have to remain mixed case because we have a "column" and a "Column" name with different info in them. So when we migrate it in, the field names have be enclosed in double quotes in all SQL operations. The problem in SQL Developer 1.5.1 (Win XP SP2, Oracle 10G) though is that if I try to sort on a column by double clicking the column header, we get an ORA-00904 error COLUMN does not exist. So it looks like it is trying to do an ORDER BY without putting the column name in double quotes. Has anybody else had issues with this and is there a fix for it?

Sorting Columns in Number 09

Hi,
i found no way to sort columns in Numbers 09 - i can only sort rows.
I can only rearrange columns with dragging but not automatically sort.
I think this should be a standard funktion like in other Programs like Open Office - but i'm searching and searching and doesn't find this function in Numbers?
Has anybody an idea how I can sort columns in Numbers 09?

Michael,
You're correct, there is no way in Numbers to sort columns. It's something that you need to keep in mind as you design your layout. My copy of Excel, Office 2004 for Mac, doesn't seem to allow sorting by columns either. Sort by column content, yes; sort by row content, no.
The Numbers way is the conventional way. The only solution that i can think of, beyond the manual re-ordering of columns that you mention, would be to transpose the entire table such that your rows turn into columns and columns into rows. Then you can sort by column and if you wish, transpose back to where you started.
