Queries :: Dynamic Cross Tab Query - Column Sort By Corresponding ID

Apr 23, 2015

I have a dynamic cross tab query - thus the column headings will change each time it is run.

At present the column headings are displayed in alphabetical order - how can I change this so they are based on a different order - eg by the descriptions corresponding ID

Problem With Sort Order

Feb 11, 2007

Hi all, I am new to this site and I am hoping that I might be able to get some help with my database which records address information of people reqesting a brochure or making a hotel booking. The problem that I am having is that the addresses are sorting in post code order, I have selected remove filter/sort and this does not do anything. I would like the records to stay in the order that they are entered at I also use this for a merge with a brochure/deposit letter and it is much simpler if I can merge a block of entries.

Many thanks in advance Pat.

Sort Order Problem

Dec 6, 2005

I have a table in MS Access with records including dates. The dates are date/time data type and formatted as short dates. They display properly in the table.

However, when I run a query (SQL shown below), it sorts the dates strangely.

Any ideas??

SELECT DISTINCTROW Format$(tblChat.dtDate,'Short Date') AS ChatDate, Sum(tblChat.TCT) AS SumOfTCT, Sum(tblChat.NC) AS SumOfNC
FROM tblChat
GROUP BY Format$(tblChat.dtDate,'Short Date')
ORDER BY Format$(tblChat.dtDate,'Short Date');

Here�s an example of the sort order in the query.

10/31/2005
11/1/2005
11/10/2005
11/11/2005
11/12/2005
11/14/2005
11/15/2005
11/16/2005
11/17/2005
11/18/2005
11/2/2005
11/21/2005
11/22/2005
11/23/2005

Sort Order Question

Nov 3, 2006

Is there a way to sort dates using "Decending" but have blank dates stay on top?

I have a listbox based on a qurery that displays all pending and completed jobs. The query sorts (Ascending) the "Job Complete" date. This conveniently puts all of the pending jobs with null values at the top of the list. The bad part is that this puts recently completed jobs at the very bottom of a (thankfully) long list. Is there a way around this?
Thank you!

Specific Sort Order

Mar 2, 2005

Okay, here's my new dilema. I'm in the military and rank is one of the fields in my DB. The only issue I'm having is that I would like to sort by seniority, not alphabetically. For Example, I've listed a few ranks below in the correct order from greatest to least. Is there some way that doesn't involve a page of code to achieve this? Thanks.

Colonel
Lt. Colonel
Major
Captain
1st Lt.
2nd Lt.

Need Weird Sort Order

Mar 14, 2005

I have a query that fills a report that I have in an Access 2000 database. This report needs to be sorted by the following:

Code:ORDER BY tblPrimaryDept.PDName, tblSubDept.SDName, tblKeyStrategy.KSID, tblKeyInitiative.KIID, tblKeyDeliverable.KDID, tblSubDeliverable.TargetDate, tblQuarters.QID;

It's working fine, but .... (There's always a but)

tblKeyStrategy.KSID can be null, so therefore, it is sorted by null records, then ascending order tblKeyStrategy.KSID. What they client wants is it to be sorted by tblKeyStrategy.KSID first, then the null value ones.

ie:
So as it stands it currently does this:

Finance
Finance
Finance 1
Finance 2

Now they want it to do this:

Finance 1
Finance 2
Finance
Finance

Is there any way this can be done? I've been looking, but haven't seen anything regarding this.

Thanks for any assistance you can give me on this.

Access Changes Sort Order On Paste

Mar 7, 2008

Hi all,

I'm quite new to access, and have a pretty straightforward problem (I hope):

I have a table with 300 records in 10 columns. I want to:
1. filter the data based on column A (gives me 150 visible records)
2. Copy from an excel spreadsheet which exactly matches the access table (single column only, 150 rows)
3. Paste into a new column I created in the access table

Unfortunately, when I hit paste in access, it loses the filter and pastes the data into the complete dataset (i.e. into the wrong records).

I've no idea why access won't keep the filter I set. I also tried numbering the records and sorting them based on this new column. Again, Access lost the sort order before pasting the data.

Help!

I really need to be able to paste my excel data into the table in access!

Can anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Sort (order) Data On Forms

Apr 12, 2005

Hello,

This is related to "Old_value, new_value" thread I posted yestarday (Module&VBA).

I have a problem i missed yestarday. The code it's vorking great, but it allways takes the showed new_value and makes it old_value for the new record, and this is a problem, because the showed record is not the last for that customer.
So, I was thinking that if I make a new Autonumber field in my table, I could sort descending the values and this way the input form will allways show me the last entered data for that person.
As I noticed from a long time ago, if I sort a table that allready has a form, the form won't show the records sorted. Why? It's necessary to make the form again? I tried to order the data on the form from Properties window ->Data->Order by, but the ordering is Ascending and I need it Descending!
Can enybody help me?

Thanx,
Attila

Customize The Sort Order Of A Combo Box

Dec 7, 2005

i have a combo box on a payment form which shows existing permit #s. i'd like to make the sort order show the most recently added permit first. i clicked on the build button next to RowSource on the data tab of the properties of the combo box which opens the query my combo box is based on. there are only 3 sort order options...ascending, descending, & not sorted. can this be done?

the permits form has a button to open the payments form (payments can also be opened alone too - ie. if somone applies for a permit today but pays for it tomorrow...). usually this will not be the case but that is why i have to keep it either combo or list.

all help is appreciated.:)

Sep 15, 2006

I need to manage a list of, in this case "medications", with this list the most common "meds" are on the top of the list. there will be at times new "meds" added that should be at the top of the list. I want to create a unbound box that will let me drag the "meds" up or down in the list. The best emample i know of is the way you can set the "Tab" fields on a form to move the tabs stops.

Saving Sort Order In A Form

Apr 29, 2008

I am working with Access 2003 and want to save the sort order in a subform. The new sort order would be different from that of the underlying table. The Order By property has been set but isn't working the way I expected. I have tried replacing the underlying table with a query but that hasn't worked out either. I don't want to change the order of the table because other programs that access it would be affected.

I've been reading about an Order By On switch that might do the trick but apparently it's not contained in Access 2003. There must be some other way to skin this cat!

Thanks in advance.

Queries :: Specific Sort Order

Sep 13, 2013

I have a query that is returning running conditions for a machine over multiple shifts. the table is set up like this

Code:
date shift parameter condition
09/13/13 1 front 500
09/13/13 1 middle 450
09/13/13 1 back 475
09/13/13 2 front 510
09/13/13 2 middle 460
09/13/13 2 back 490

this is just a small example. there are about 24 different parameters reported on in a shift..I want the query to sort by date ascending, shift ascending, and then by parameter in a specific custom that i define. I want it ordered "front, middle, back" for each shift. Again this is just an example, there would be 24 parameters I want in a specific order. Then do I need to define the sort order again for the report based on this query?

Sort Order With Null Values

Aug 22, 2012

I have a Form which presents the results from a query. Upon clicking the header of each column of data the records are sorted A-Z and Z-A using the code below. This works fine when all records have data in the relevant field but not when several records have a value of null. It appears that when null values are present the "If Me.OrderBy = "property" & " DESC"" always evaluates as not true, even though all the null values are on top and all the filled in values are in appropriate order.

A second issue is one of my fields is not sorting properly at all. I have two date fields, one sorts the other does not. The one that sorts is a user entered date (8/22/2012) which defaults to "9/9/9999" if the user does not enter a different value. The other date field which does not sort properly at all is a calculated date field which chooses the earlier of two possible dates (both associated with the same record) using

IIf([Senior Mortgage Maturity]>[Mezz Maturity],[Mezz Maturity],[Senior Mortgage Maturity])

This code is repeated for each of the six fields with the relevant field name in place of 'property'.

Private Sub Property_Label_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Me.OrderByOn = True
If Me.OrderBy Like "Property" Then
Me.OrderBy = "property" & " DESC"
Else
Me.OrderBy = "property"
End If
End Sub

Exporting Data With A Custom Sort Order

Jun 7, 2007

Hi,

I have a Form which contains a datasheet and I have some code which allows users to custom sort this datasheet. Another table based on this datasheet is then exported as a csv file.
However, the data is obviously not exported in the same order as the datasheet and it is quite critical for the application to be a sucess that it is exported in the custom order chosen by the user.

I have done some re-search, searching groups, forums etc and found the solution of having a 'sort column' in the table the datasheet relates to, I can then use this in the query that exports the data. My only problem with this is I had to manually fill in this sort column in the datasheet, once I had decided upon my final sort order. Is there anyway to fill this column automatically based on a row's position in a datasheet?

Many thanks in advance

Subform Records Change Sort Order

May 8, 2005

I have a subform embedded in a mainform which contains loan payment details over a number of months. The record starts with the payment period number ie 1,2,3 etc. The problem is that every now and again the subform changes the display order of the records so that I get 4,5,6,1,2,3.

When I look at the underlying table the order is OK as is the non embedded sub form. I cannot see any reason for the change and it only happens randomly (apparently).

The numbers are not autonumbering but manually input.
Hope someone can help please.

Autonumber Interfering With Sort Order In Report...?

Nov 16, 2005

Need help pls

I'm designing a report that should be sorted by field A, B, C, D, or a combination of BD or CD.

Problem is (it seems) the report ignores the sort order and lists the results in ascending order of the autonumber field - 1,2,3,4,5 etc.

The reports run off queries and the queries work fine - they sort the fields in the proper order.

Is the autonumbering somehow interfering with the sort order in the report?

HELP!!!

General :: Updating Sort Order Of Records

Nov 10, 2014

I have a table with entries describing a sequence of Tasks (tblTask)

tskID TaskDescription
10 Clean Room
12 Wash Dishes
etc

I have second table called Steps (tblSteps) that is related to tblTask via the field "StepNumber" which is a concatenation of [tskID] & "." & [StepOrder]
So if we look at washing dishes as a task then the steps are as follows:

StepID, StepDescription, StepOrder, StepNumber
202 Put plug in the sink , 1, 12.1
512 Turn on tap, 2, 12.2
205 Put in detergent, 3, 12.3
210 Place dishes in sink, 4, 12.4
435 Turn off tap, 5, 12.5
etc

If I decide delete the third step I get the following:-

StepID, StepDescription, StepOrder, StepNumber
202 Put plug in the sink, 1, 12.1
512 Turn on tap, 2, 12.2
210 Place dishes in sink, 4, 12.4
435 Turn off tap, 5, 12.5

Is there a simple way renumbering the StepOrder entries when one step is totally removed to give me the following?

StepID, StepDescription, StepOrder, StepNumber
202 Put plug in the sink, 1, 12.1
512 Turn on tap, 2, 12.2
210 Place dishes in sink, 3, 12.3
435 Turn off tap, 4, 12.4

General :: Sort Order For Topmost One-to-many Relationship

Dec 6, 2013

I am currently studying Robert Jennings book entitled Using Microsoft Access 2007 Special Edition. In reading about specifying of the sort order and top value limits established by inner joins (pg 455), the author makes this statement.Access displays query result sets in the order of the index on the primary key field of the table that represents the one side of the top most one-to-many relationship of query tables.An example of a query with Orders, Order Details, and Products tables displays rows in productID (the primary key field in the Products table) sequence. He says that it does so because the Products table has a one-to-many relationship with the Order Details table and indirectly with the Orders table. I do not understand why the Products one-to-many relationship with the Order Details table is ranked as the top most relationship in that the Orders table also has a one-to-many relationship (OrderID is the primary key field) with the Order Details table and an indirect relationship with the Products table. The Order Details table has two primary keys (ProductID and OrderID). My attempts to change the sequence in which the table relationships were formed as well as the location of the tables in the database had no effect on the result.

Queries :: Sort By User Input Order

Apr 30, 2013

I have a simple form with a text box, I enter a series of part numbers separated by newlines, and then I use the following code to query for each of the separate part numbers:

Code:
Dim strSql As String
Dim part_nums() As String
Dim num As Variant
Dim multivar As Boolean
multivar = False

[Code] ,......

This all works perfectly, but what I need to do is have the query return the records in the same order I entered the part numbers. They are automatically returned in alphabetical order by item_no, and when I enter 15+ part numbers it becomes slightly difficult to search through them all on the form to find the one I am looking for. It would be a lot easier if they were output in the same order that I type them in. Is there any way to make this happen?

Two Combo Selection Boxes: Sort Order Problem

Jun 22, 2005

I have a form that house two record selection combo boxes, one for Customer Name and one for the Tracking number.

Both work as intended and return the correct record.

The problem is with the sort- I used a query for the source. That query will allow either the tracking number to be the sorted order OR the Customer name to be the sorted order.

I need code to make the sort order in the combo boxes on the fly, depending on which combo box the user selects.

Will you tell me how you would handle this?

Thanks, in advance-
