Word-by-word sort order in indexes

Hi again,
I need to change the sort order in my indexes from letter-by-letter to word-by word.
According to the help file,
1. Choose View > Reference Pages, and display the reference page that contains the special text flow for the index.
2. Add a space at the beginning of the IgnoreChars paragraph in the special text flow of the index. (The space cannot be at the end of the paragraph.)
The *IgnoreCharsIOM paragraph in the IOM flow contains "-_–—[»–«»". Try as I might, I cannot add a space at the beginning. If I add a space after the initial dash, then put a dash afterwards, and then get rid of the first dash (to move the space to the beginning) the space gets removed.
I presume I'm misunderstanding the instructions.... Can anyone help?
Thanks
KF

Portuguise sort order in Index

There are one Grouptitle (Â) in the index in FrameMaker, that is do not work properly, when I generate the Index automatically. What I do wrong?

graphisoft,
I assume you have to remove "<$alphabetics>" from your SortOrder paragraph. AFAIK it is either <$alphabetics> or you give the sort order manually. I am confused by the "*Éé*" in your sort order. I assume that each letter is supposed to appear only once within a sort order.

Index sort order with underscore (_)

Hi.
According to the documentation, the default sort order for indexes is <$symbols><$numbers><$alphabetics> with hyphens, nonbreaking hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes ignored by default. Nothing about underscores, so they should be sorted on first, right? But they are not in my document. Example:
PaymentModule_Order_Head
PaymentModule_OrderPayment_Capture
PaymentModule_Order_Tabs
What I want to see is:
PaymentModule_Order_Head
PaymentModule_Order_Tabs
PaymentModule_OrderPayment_Capture
Is there an easy way to fix this so underscores have precedence over alphabetics? I've tried rearranging the building blocks every which way but nothing seems to work.

> ... going through thousands of index entries and adding the sort order text.
That could be scripted, using dedicated Frame scripting tools, or, with MIF, ordinary text processing tools. Someone may even have done it already.
In MIF, it would "merely" be a matter of first batch converting all:
<MTypeName `Index'>
<MText `what appears in Index'>
pairs to:
<MTypeName `Index'>
<MText `what appears in Index[M00what appears in Index]'>
then hand edit only the Markers of the outliers to change the arbitrary "M00" prefix to whatever is needed to optimize the sort rank.

You have documentation for FrameMaker?
Why wasn't I told about this?

Russian and English combined Index Group Title and sort order

How should I create the combined index Group Title and sort order in Russian and Greek documentations?

The final product one Russian manual which contains some English Index marker ...
And what is the problem?
You can control the sorting by placing a [...] tag in the Marker Text, such as:
[Сплайн] Spline
The term(s) in the brackets are used only for sort. What appears in the Index is the following text.
Or you can just edit the Marker Text.
But it sounds like there might be more than one question here, re: Group Titles.

How to find distinct words in Oracle Text index

We have a requirement to fetch all distinct words in the CLOB field for all records

DR$<Index Name>$I table stores exactly such information. Is it ok to use this table in queries?
Are there any disadvantages in using it?
Help is very much appreciated.

the disadv -
with every sync index the contents will change.
with every release the structure may change without any prior information - your application may go bad.
It is not advisable to use them in your applications. For your own investigation etc you can always use its contents.

Float word byte order?

I'm attempting to build the "cairo" library for FlasCC. The "./configure" step is hitting an issue - it's trying to determine what the float word byte order is (I'm not sure, by the way, whether this is terribly critical for actually compiling the library...) In any case, the method they are using isn't working with FlasCC.
Can perhaps a FlasCC developer chime in and let me know what the float word byte order is (little- or big-endian)?
Thanks!

FlasCC is little endian.

Site Index Tree (SIP) portlet / sort order of entries

How can I change the (alphabetical) sort order in the site index portlet to something else?
Thanks,
Frank

Unfortunatelly, it does not work.
What happens instead?
Let's check some background information:
What version of Frame, on what operating system ?
(there's some chance of Unicode issues here)
This document is a book ?
The body files of this book were created in the same version of Frame you are using to update it ?
This book has an separate index file xyzzyIX.fm ?
This file is generated (book menu, Edit > Update Book) ?
The content and formatting of this index is correct other than sort order ?

Sorting Order for SAP Tables in DB2 database

Dear Experts -
ISSUE: When an ABAP program selects data from the DB into an internal
table, it is changing the way the data is sorted. In other words, the
internal table data is in a different sort order than what is in the
DB. It is not working this way in all other non-production systems
(DEV, QAS, SAX, etc).
Temporary solution for the programs that have been identified as
impacted: Use the ABAP Command 'sort' on the internal table.
Permanent solution needed : Since it is impossible to identify all
of the programs that will be impacted, we need PRD to work like DEV,
QAS, SAX, etc. when selecting data into internal tables. The data
should be in the same order as it is in the DB (sorted by the key).
ADDITIONAL INFO: DB2 storage disks crashed a day before. H/W team recovered everything. We are facing this only after the recovery.
Thanks,
Dinesh

can you please check in your code if the sql that is being sent has an order by clause .
Please let us know the SQL statements that is basically used to fill up the internal table.
When data is fetched from the database, it is not sorted always. Probably you had a clustered index on the tables and the clustering is not there now.

Accessing the records in ascending order using index hint

I am getting a problem in selecting the rows using the index hint which in i want to query in the ascending order.
for eg.
select /*+ index(temp_itr_header,tmp_itrhdr_1#IDX2) */ person_id
from temp_itr_header

Oracle knows that it doesn't have to resort data if it accessed individual rows from an index with the same sort order. In other words, adding the ORDER BY clause need not cause Oracle to do any extra work. Adding the ORDER BY does guarantee that the results will be sorted and will tend to cause Oracle to use the index, assuming it can avoid the sort that way. If you don't have an ORDER BY, Oracle is free to return rows in whatever order it would like regardless of your hint.
If you want to use the index hint, the syntax is
SELECT /*+ INDEX(temp_itr_header <<index name>>) */Note that you do not want to have a comma in your hint. Of course, if your statistics are accurate, you shouldn't need to resort to a hint here-- the CBO should pick the most efficient path.

Sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin)

FrameMaker 10 (Windows)
It seems that if I specify the sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin) on the reference page,
index entries that start with "i" and "v" are not shown under their corresponding group titles.
(I assume that this may be due to the fact that pinyin words never start with these letters.)
If I have an entry that starts with an English word like "IP," it appears under the "J" group.
I want the entry to appear under the "I" group. How can I do this?
I have the IX reference page set up as follows:
GroupTitlesIX paragraph
Symbols[\];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;
SortOrderIX paragraph
<$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$pinyin>
I've also tried:
SortOrderIX paragraph
<$symbols><$numerics><$pinyin>
Thanks in advance.
Tak Osato

I sort of found a workaround, but it may lead to other problems, so use it at your own risk.
It also requires a bit of work.
The idea is to use the sort order for Japanese by specifying the following in the IX reference page.
Symbols[\ ];数字[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;あ;い;う;え;お;か;き;く;け;こ;さ;し;す;せ;そ ;た;ち;つ;て;と;な;に;ぬ;ね;の;は;ひ;ふ;へ;ほ;ま;み;む;め;も;や;ゆ;よ;ら;り;る;れ;ろ;わ;ん;[　]
<$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$kana>
Then, you need to capitalize the first letter in the bracket used for sorting for every index entry.
Example:
Instead of
画面[hua4mian4]
specify
画面[Hua4mian4]
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to do a search and replace on all index entries to capitalize the first letter...

WHERE clause affects sort order???

Hi,
I'm playing around with linguistic sorting and comparing and was using the examples from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch5lingsort.htm#g1018324
So I have the three entries Große, große and Grosse in my table (the sample data from the manual)
To test these features, I did
alter session set nls_comp = Linguistic;
alter session set nls_sort = XGerman_CI; and ran the following select statement:
SELECT name
FROM words
ORDER BY 1;The rows are then returned in the following order:
Große
große
Grosse
which is exactly what I expect.
When I run
SELECT name
FROM words
WHERE name = 'Grosse'; it returns all three rows which is expected as well.
When I add the ORDER BY (which is the same ORDER BY as in the first step):
SELECT name
FROM words
WHERE name = 'Grosse'
ORDER BY 1; the rows are returned in the following order
Große
Grosse
große
which is different to the order without the WHERE clause (and wrong)
The question is: why does the WHERE clause affect the ordering?

I'm not sure why you think the third sort order is incorrect. In English, the capitals will sort before the lower case leaving both "G" values before the "g". I don't know where the special ... German? ... character will appear but assume that ORDER BY is sorting correctly. If not you need to contact Oracle and open a support ticket.
WHERE clauses will affect how data comes back by influencing index use, but some of what they do will be random. The only way to be sure data will be returned in a certain order is to use an ORDER BY clause.
In particular, in 10g the parallel query option is notorious for returnding data in random order. Where in 9i an indexed lookup would tend to return data in an imaginary sorted order the same query using PQO in 10g often returns data in random order.

DRM: Use of Sort Order property?

Hi,
There is a property by the name Sort Order and is a local, hidden and system defined property. Would like to know the use of this property and the usage of the property in DRM.

Hello experts,
Is there a way to disable node sorting order or in other word enable sorting in any order the user wants? There is no one particular rule that can be applied. I tried to create a derived Sort property and assigned it a value/formula of just 0 or 1. When I dragged a node around and tried to drop it as a sibling somewhere else higher up in the tree under the same parent, I got this message: "1: The server returned an error processing CopyNodes: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."
Thank you!
