The 'sort columns' default behavior

It seems the new sort columns remove the word "The" by default in a title listing. I'm curious to know if this action can be removed.
Also, since it is apparently possible to pre-program sort column behavior, is it possible to always reverse to lastname, firstname in the sort composer column?

I just thought since iTunes now comes pre-programmed to alphabetize without the "The" first, it might be possible to revert it to original behavior.
I don't know if it's something that can be reverted, short of going back to a previous version of iTunes or finding something (a script?) to strip the entries in the Sort Name field for those songs.
Looking at the tracks in my Library, it seems that at the point of updating, iTunes went through and stripped the initial 'The' from all the song titles and placed that in the Sort Name field. Tracks that don't start with 'The' and maybe similar articles like 'A' (I can't think of any in my library to check) do not have anything in the Sort Name field, and are thus sorted normally by the full title.
The behavior of the program hasn't changed, but the song data that it operates on has.
WRT iPod and contacts- last name and first name are two different fields in the contact information- the same switch is possible in AddressBook. But (and this is a BIG but) if, when entering the contact into AddressBook, you enter the full name into one field-either First Name or Last Name- you cannot change the order.
What the iPod is doing is the same as you clicking another column heading in iTunes.

I have set the column width like this:
in style.css:
/** Column Settings **/
af|column::header-text
background-color:#F0EDE1;
color:#000000;
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
border-color: #B5B5B5;
WIDTH: 120px;
af|column::sortable-header-text
background-color:#F0EDE1;
color:#000000;
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
border-color: #B5B5B5;
WIDTH: 120px;
and in jsp page,write like this:
<af:panelBox text="test" width="1000" background="dark" >
<af:table emptyText="" value="#{ftOverview.listOfTransefersVect}" var="transfers" width="100%" banding="row" bandingInterval="1">
<af:column sortable="true" sortProperty="transactionId" headerText="#{resources['ft_overview.ref']}" formatType="text" width="39"
noWrap="true">
<af:outputText value="#{transfers.transactionId}" escape="false"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
</af:panelBox>
but it seems doesn't work well.

Changing Sort column

I have a report that has different groups and is sorted by a particular column.
I would like to be able to create an additional layout (in the trailer section) that executes the same query (in fact if it just uses the same data) but ordered by different column.
How can this be done?
I realise the lexical parameters could be used - how to do this via a trigger?
Is there another way.simplier that would not involve rerunning the same basic query.
The sort columns are in the detail and not group by columns.
Thanks in advance for any help and direction

I don't think that you can do this just by using one query. I mean same data twice but with different orders.
In that case you need another query and second report layout within same report. You already know, what is the sort order for query one and query two, so in that case you don't need lexical parameters (if you go by this way).
Another option is, run this report twice from JSP by passing sort column name to lexical parameter. It will create two PDFs but your report will have only one query.
Third and best option is, on JSP ask user on which column he/she wants to sort and pass this column to lexical parameter in report.
In your case, you don't need to set value for lexical parameter in form triggers. You can pass directly to lexical parameter from JSP.
May be someone else can give better solution.

How do I set the CoreTable sort column in the managed bean?

I have a CoreTable with two columns, first name and company, from the managed bean in a session scope, how do I set the company column to be the default/selected sort order?
Or is that done by binding the af:column to a CoreColumn object in the managed bean, which method would I use?
<af:column sortProperty="company" sortable="true">
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="#{common.labelCompany}"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{row.company}"/>
</af:column>
Thanks,

Yes, I know, "sortable", see, I even used it in my example. I don't want to disable default sorting.
What I'm asking is how to have more than one sortProperty. When the user clicks the column heading, I want to sort by "myFirstProperty" AND "mySecondProperty". The sortProperty only seems to allow one sort property.
One possibility seems to be to programatically add items to the List of SortCriterion objects as in your example, but where would I put this code so that it is executed when the user clicks the column heading, but before the table is sorted.

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 .
Br,
Vijay.

Each time I click the "Open a New Tab" button, how do I make FF open to my homepage and why isn't this default behavior?

Firefox does not default to your homepage when you manually open a new tab. It should do so.
Is there a way to make FF do this? Is it an addon? If so, should this not be default behavior and just be incorporated into the browser?

# Type ''about:config'' in Firefox's location bar
# Find ''browser.newtab.url''
# Double click on it
# Paste your homepage link into the text box
# Click ''Ok''

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
Finale 2007: $500
Sibelius 4: $500
Jam Packs: $400
Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
PowerBook: $1700
Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
Logic Pro 7: Oy!
As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column)

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column) in NUMBERS

Numbers sorting follows a database model in which each row is a 'record' rather than a collection of unrelated data items. When a table is sorted, the integrity of the individual records (rows) is maintained.
If you need to sort a single column, that column (or its data) must be separated from the rest of the table.
That can be done using copy/paste (as described above by Wayne), or by taking the column to be sorted out of the table, dropping it on the sheet to form a new, single column table, doing the sort, then returning the column to the original table.
The 3 1/2 step process takes longer to describe than to do.

Barry

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

What should the"default behavior" be for WiFi network connections?

I Have been able to at least temporarily fix the plethora of problems encountered after downloading Mountain Lion to my 2009 17" MBP just ten days ago. Thanks to the time and effort of so many posters that are much more savvy than me, I successfully executed the steps suggested in many of the posts and with good results. It surely beats running down to the Apple store and being told that I am the only one with a problem.
Okay, I've realized that I don't really know what the default behavior of the WiFi network connection should be?
Specifically:
Should the Wi-Fi drop down in Network always be" looking for networks", even though I am obviously on my Network?
Should the Wi-Fi be connected at all times even when your computer is in sleep mode- or deep sleep mode? There have been so many problems with Wi-Fi dropping off,slow or hanging loads, etc.
I unchecked "ask to join networks, in Network preferences thinking it might stop looking for networks when it doesn't need to because I'm already on mine. I do see my neighbors (four neighbors) in the drop down in Network.
How do you get into Time Capsule's settings, to check speeds, especially ping? What should the ideal settings be?
How do you know if your DHCP license is renewed? I've heard that feature isn't working and may be the culprit to some of the Wi-Fi problems.
I'll look forward to your help in understanding more about this. I've been in the support area a lot lately, I've read plenty of definitions, and explanations of the different options to choose from in Apple's support area, but nowhere have I seen anything that explains what the default behavior should be or perform like.
Thanks, as always.

Generally, you don't want to tweak the wifi settings. It pretty much takes care of itself. The caveat to that is, of course, if you're experiencing problems.
The 'looking for networks' behaviour only happens when you log in, wake the mac from sleep OR when you click on the wifi icon. You clicking on it tells the mac "I want to see what networks are available" - so it does a scan for you to check to see if any new networks have appeared since you last clicked on it (or woke/logged in). In short, if you don't want it to look for new networks, don't click on the icon!
Unchecking the 'ask to join networks' option only applies when your mac detects a new network (such as when it wakes) that you haven't already authorised; it'll ask you to confirm whether you want to join it or not. Otherwise, if the network is open it'll join automatically. You should keep this selected if you travel around with your Mac. It's a good idea to know what network you're on before you start plugging in passwords or typing other things into the mac.
There is a utility that you can use for ping and traceroute called 'Network Utility'. Click on the Spotlight icon in the top right of your screen and type "Network' and you should see it at the top of the list. Hit 'return' to open it.
DHCP licences are normally renewed automatically by your router every 24 hours. Again, there's no reason to be messing about with that unless you're experiencing problems.
If you're experiencing wifi dropout, let us know, and we'll make some suggestions, but if you're not, you're best leaving your mac to manage the background processes. It knows what it's doing!

How to display the sorting arrows in the table column header

Hi
I am doing a sorting for some columns from the click of the table column headers, In Developer studio, we are able to view the up and down arrows, I need that also to be made visible at run time, so that the user knows that there exists sorting based on that particular column. Is there any other way of doing it ? I cant place more than one control on the header or wrap the text to two lines..also. please clarify. thanks

I assume you are using NW 04.
The table column header contains a IWDCaption element which may display an icon and a text. See property IWDCaption.imageSource.
The table tutorial might also be helpful.

SPGridView - sorting Dates doesn't work properly & how to display the title column as link?

Hi,
I've got a SPGridView that is being filled with data from several lists. Some of them are a date-field and a title-field. I already added sorting, paging and filtering options and at first look they seem to work fine. But now I noticed that sorting dates
doesn't work as expected. If I select ascending sorting, the result is something like this:
01.08.2014
02.08.2014
17.07.2014
18.07.2014
23.07.2014
If I select descending sorting, the result is this:
23.07.2014
18.07.2014
17.07.2014
02.08.2014
01.08.2014
This isn't what I want obviously.
I just added the EventReceiver for the sorting like it is shown in several tutorials:
(The date field is a BoundField.)
grid.Sorting += new GridViewSortEventHandler(grid_Sorting);
private void grid_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
if (ViewState["FilterExpression"] != null)
gridDS.FilterExpression = (string)ViewState["FilterExpression"];
And my second problem is how to add a link to the title column. In my grid I'm displaying tasks from different lists and I want to link the title to the related task. I stumbled accross HyperLinkFields and tried this:
HyperLinkField hyperLinkField = new HyperLinkField();
hyperLinkField.DataTextField = "Titel";
hyperLinkField.DataNavigateUrlFields = new string[] { "Titel" };
hyperLinkField.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "{0}";
hyperLinkField.HeaderText = "Titel";
hyperLinkField.SortExpression = "Titel";
grid.Columns.Add(hyperLinkField);
The resulting link is something like ...sites/MySite/_catalogs/masterpage/A1-V1-2 where "A1-V1-2" is the name of the task and also shown in the title field.
The actual link should look more like ...sites/MySite/Lists/mytasklistname/DispForm.aspx?ID=.... or something like that to display the task details. How could I achieve that?
Thanks in advance

Create calculated column.
Insert following formula -

Set "data type returned from this formula is" to integer.
As a result on list view you will see the title with link to your url.
UPD: It seems that URL field is not valid for calculated column, as workaround you can copy url value in a receiver into the another text field, which is not shown on the view.

Does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column.

Hello
I am new to winforms.
I have a listview. I want it to toggle the sorting of the records of the listview when the columns are clicked
Please guide me as to how to do the same.
The code that I have attached does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column. I have to click a different column ten the previous column
The code is attached below

Every time through the ColumnClick event handler, you are creating a new sorter. This means that any values set in the sorter from the previous click are not saved.
Try this.
private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
// Only create a new sorter if we don't have one already.
if(listView1.ListViewItemSorter == null)
ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
// And so on with the rest of your code.
