Custom Sorting With IF Statement
May 12, 2014 IIF statement. The weird thing is I can perfectly do what I want to in the design view of my query editor but when I try to do it in the report expression builder can't get it.I'm trying to do a custom sort where Tier 1 is sorted alphabetically and tier 2 is custom sort. The way it goes is where the name of tier 2 = the name of tier 1, sort this first, then do ascending.
Example:
Mavericks (tier 1)
Mavericks (tier 1)
Clippers (tier 2)
Lakers (tier2)
Wizards (Tier 2)
my sql code is:
ORDER BY tbl_baselinesystems.APPNAME, IIf(tbl_exchanges.OriginNode=tbl_baselinesystems.A PPNAME,0,1), tbl_exchanges.OriginNode;
When I put either IIf(tbl_exchanges.OriginNode=tbl_baselinesystems.A PPNAME,0,1) or IIf(tbl_exchanges.OriginNode=tbl_baselinesystems.A PPNAME,0, IIf(tbl_exchanges.OriginNode=tbl_baselinesystems.A PPNAME,1)) into expression builder neither work.
Is there a way for me to sort in an expression using regular sql.
Tables :: Autonumber Sorting Out In Order
Sep 2, 2013I am creating a database for cases. I want to set autonumber into sequence, Let say if there are data numbering 1,2,3,4,5. If I delete no.2, The data will rearrange in oreder from 1,2,3,4. While If I add a new value it would be the no.5.
Instead of data value autonumber 1,2,3,4,5 as I deleted no.2 and add new records. The data has become 1,3,4,5,6.

Mar 10, 2006Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
Sorting?
Jun 14, 2007Hi Everyone,
Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.
Many thanks for any help.

Sorting Out By Dob
Jan 1, 2008I am doing a database containing names, dates of birth, dates of death etc of my ancestors. Does anyone know the best way of displaying it so I can sort them out by age of death? For example, I want to see someone for example who died aged 70 years and 6 months to be a place above someone who died aged 70 years and 4 months.

Jun 26, 2007In Quebec there are a lot of place names beginning with "Saint-" or "Sainte-".
When I do an ascending sort on the table itself, these type of names don't seem to follow the expected pattern.
For the names Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie I should see this order:
Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie, Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse.
Instead, I get Sainte-Marthe, Saint-Ephrem, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Eulalie.
The names are spelled exactly as I have them in the table with hyphens and diacritic marks.
Any ideas why there seems to be a problem sorting "Saint-" from "Sainte-?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAccess Sorting
Oct 4, 2005I have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.
One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.
Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?
Question About Sorting
Jan 11, 2006I have a table with an alphanumeric field I want to sort on. If I sort the usual ascending way, data that is numeric is sorted before data that is alpha.
Is there a way to have the alpha data sorted ascending come out ahead of the numeric data srted ascending?
Ex:
Currently,
1
2
3
A
B
c
Desired:
A
B
C
1
2
3
Thanks in advance to all who reply!!!
Sorting Numerically
Jan 25, 2006i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!

Sorting Addresses
Feb 28, 2007How can I sort string addresses so as to get the correct number order? I know that strings sort on each character, which causes the problem. I have tried some things (with VAL and Len), but was not completely successful. I do not want to enter an address number as 0630, when I want 630.
Why does this not work:IIf(Len(Str(Val([address]))=3),"0" & [address],[address])? Address has 3 and 4 numbers only.
Help With Sorting A Query?
Aug 9, 2007I have a job database where I sort jobs by upcoming, inactive, closed and active. Each has a corresponding number 1-4 respectively. The main table I update the jobs in is the JOB TABLE. I print a weekly report for our weekly meeting but I only want the active jobs in the report. My question is: how do I perform a sort function in the query, so I will have only the active jobs in the database table show in the query? Thanks in advance! If more info is needed I wil post additonal.

Sorting By Ignoring × And +
Jan 27, 2007I have a table of plant names such as
×Mahoberberis
+Crataegomespilus
Iris
Scilla
Hebe
Geranium
Acorus
Note that the multiplication and plus signs are part of the names.
If I sort the table (A-Z) I get
+Crataegomespilus
×Mahoberberis
Acorus
Geranium
Hebe
Iris
Scilla
What I would like to see is
Acorus
+Crataegomespilus
Geranium
Hebe
Iris
×Mahoberberis
Scilla
I am not a programmer so need to be led by the hand, but can anyone see a way of achieving this which I could copy? My simple mind tells me that I have somehow to suppress the × and + during the sort. But how?
Non-Alphanumerics And Sorting.
Mar 2, 2007I had been using previous versions of Access, and just recently "upgraded" to 2007. I used the search function, and didn't see exactly what I was looking for, so hopefully I don't get flamed too bad if I missed an obvious thread, but here's my situation:
In the previous versions of Access that I used I would get a sort order like this:
R-256
R-276
R-500
R2325
R2598
now I get the following
R2325
R-256
R2598
R-276
R-500
This is a primary key in my table, so stripping the field it apart, sorting, and reassembling is not really an option. I jumped from Office97 to 2007 with this particular database, so I am not sure when the non-alphanumerics were ignored when it came to sorting, but is there a way to get the hypens to be recognized when it comes to sorting?
Thank you.
Table Without Sorting
Jan 1, 2008Hi,
I'm using DAO in C++ to write data in MS Access table. I found that MS Access will automatically sort those records in ascending order based on the primary key. I need to leave those records based on the write sequence, can I do that?
Thank you in advance:)
Sorting Sequence
Jan 21, 2008Hi there,
Not sure whether I am in the right forum. It is Table, Form and Query.
Have a table which index to sort on 4 fields - Proj, SubProj, Team, SubTeam.
1. I used this Table on a form, the data seems to be in random sequence instead of above.
2. Then I tried to sort it in a query which showed up fine ( as required) in the actual running of the query. However when I used this query in a form, the data doesn't sort as expected.
3. With above 1 and 2, I have also tried the Order Of in the Form properties which still do not do the trick.
can anyone shed somelight on this please.
BTW, After I first created the form, I just rename the record source in form property. Don't know whether this make any differences in the above result.
Sorting A Many To Many Relationship
Jun 3, 2005I have a table structure with many to many relationships. I want to create a query that shows all the contacts and they're related costcenters without repeating the contacts name with every costcenter.
For Example:
Joe Black ES-100-0690
.............ES-110-0149
Jane Smith ES-120-0149
...............ES-115-0690
Etc..
Instead of:
Joe Black ES-100-0690
Joe Black ES-110-0149
Jane Smith ES-120-0149
Jane Smith ES-115-0690
Etc..
Anyone can show mw how this is done?
Thanks!
Reports Not Sorting
Aug 2, 2005I have a form that the user can select a report using options through 'group options'. These then open up the report using specific queries. One report many queries.
The queries are the same except for the filter criteria.
I created 1 query then copied the rest and adjusted the criteria. I am sorting on a numerical value.
All the queries sort fine in preview but not in the report except for 1.
If I copy this query and alter the filter criteria it solves the problem.
I want to know what am I missing.
All this is done using VBA.
Cheers
Gordon :confused:
