Sort Table By Date

Aug 6, 2007

I have a Table that is used to collect data from client�s phone calls. There is a field for the Client�s name and another for the date the client called (There are a whole lot more fields, but for simplicities sake let�s focus on these two). I have sorted the table on date and indexed the date field. I need to add a �RECORD NO.� field in order to get some queries to run correctly. This field will be autonumber. I would like to have the RECORD NO. field to run in conjunction with the date, that is RECORD. NO. 1 would be the earliest date in the table and the last RECORD NO. would be the most recent date that a client called in. I have verified that the table is sorted by date, but when I add the RECORD NO. field the table reverts to sorting alphabetically by client�s name. The client�s name field is not indexed. I can�t figure out why it is doing this. Any ideas or suggestions as to how to correct this?
Thanks.

Queries :: Possible To Sort A Table Drop Down Box By Date Within A Query?

Oct 3, 2013

Is it possible to sort a natural table drop down by date from within a query? What im doing:

1. making a query that has certain results displayed
2. within the query you can select one of the field boxes and it has a list of all the items in that table.
3. is it possible to sort this natural table listing from within the query. I have attached a screenshot. Same thing happens with the client ID listing from within the query. Want to know if it is possible or not to sort those. I cant see how.

Reports :: Report Won't Sort By Date When Query Contains Date Formatting

Jun 21, 2013

A few months ago I created a report that displays the results of a long union query comprising a dozen or so individual queries, each containing an expression that yields a date (or sometimes date and time). I set the report to group by query and then sort by the date expression. Now for some reason that I can't fathom the report has always only ever offered me the option to sort the date "A to Z", I infer it thinks the date is text, but this misunderstanding has never actually stopped it sorting by date perfectly well. It worked. No problems.

However I have recently added formatting to some of the queries so that they just display date, not date and time e.g. Format([dateandtime],"dd/mm/yyyy"), and now the sort by date in the report no longer works. None of the sorting or grouping options have changed, but it now sorts just by the "dd" component of the date - so it thinks 21st June is later than 20th July. why?

Sort Date

Dec 13, 2007

Hey all, I looked throught a couple of threads for sorting, but could not find exactly what I need.

Basically, I have a list of dates:

10-Aug-07
20-Oct-07
13-Nov-07
etc...

and when I try and sort these dates from earliest to latest, it only reads the number and not the month, like:

10-Aug-07
13-Nov-07
20-Oct-07
etc...

How would I make it sort by date and month?

Thanks,
RR

Date Sort

Jun 14, 2007

Hello,

Quick question,

I am bringing in two fields into a table which looks like this:

Field 1 Field 2
A 2006-07-25
A 2006-08-21
A 2006-09-21
A 2006-10-21

This is how it's sorted and do not forget that field 2 is a text field.

Now i made two different queries pulling in both Field 1 and Field 2, however in one query i'm pulling in First of Field 2 and in the second query Last of Field 2. For some reason, i'm getting 2006-10-21 as a first and 2006-07-25 as last.

Can anyone explain that?

Thank you!

Sort By Latest Date With Mutiple IDs

Feb 9, 2006

I'm trying to sort dates by the latest date when the query returns multiple IDs with different results. Ex.
ID1 1/1/2006
1/8/2006
ID2 1/2/2006
1/9/2006

In this example I would want ID1 with the date of 1/8/2006 and ID2 with the date of 1/9/2006 since they are the latest date. I will have many IDs that I need to run a query on that will all return the latest date. TIA

Sort By A Calculated Date In A Query

Apr 1, 2008

I have a calculated date field in a query...if I try and sort by this field I get a data type mismatch.

[CONTREFF] is a date field in a table, [TERM] is a number field in a table. I am trying to calculate the year the contract expires in the "EndTerm" field. The calculation works fine, but I can't sort it.

EndTerm: DateSerial(Year([CONTREFF])+[TERM],Month([CONTREFF]),Day([CONTREFF]))

Please Help!!! Thank you ...

Strange Date Sort Problem

Jul 12, 2005

I have a form that allows the user to specify, among other things, date ranges for data to be displayed in a subform (in a form, not datasheet).

In the subform, the user can click any column heading to sort the records by record number, employee name, department, etc. The Click event calls a function:
Private Sub lblReviewDate_Click()
Call SortForm(Me, "ReviewDate")
End Sub

Here's the function module code:
Function SortForm(frm As Form, ByVal sOrderBy As String) As Boolean
'Sort form column headings OrderBy to the string. Reverse if already set.
If Len(sOrderBy) > 0 Then
' Reverse the order if already sorted this way.
If frm.OrderByOn And (frm.OrderBy = sOrderBy) Then
sOrderBy = sOrderBy & " DESC"
End If
frm.OrderBy = sOrderBy
frm.OrderByOn = True
SortForm = True
End If
End Function
This works great - except on date fields, which are set to the medium date format as DD-Mmm-YY. I end up with a sort list that looks like this:
21-Apr-05
24-Jun-05
29-Jun-05
11-Jul-05
05-Apr-05
07-Jun-05
A sort in the reverse direction is equally messed up. Can someone advise what to do about this?

Many thanks
Christine

Sort Subform Records By Date

Dec 31, 2007

I created my first RDB input form and it works fine. In the subform new records are created at the bottom row. The subform has a date field. The main and sub forms are based on tables.

When I open the input form I would like to see the subform records sorted by the date field but I don't know where to look for help on that. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I am including my form in design layout just in case it will help.

Sort Date Formatted As Year And Week

Dec 7, 2004

I have a table with sales by day. I want to display the data in a graph summarised by week but the period spans several years. If I format the date thus Format(MyField,"yyyy ww") then Access sorts the results thus 2003 1, 2003 10, 2003 11 but it should be 2003 1, 2003 2, 2003 4 etc.

How can I get Access to sort in ascending order correctly on the formatted date?

Thanks

Sort By Date With Blank Dates At Bottom?

Sep 7, 2006

Hi

I have created a query which sorts store information by potential opening dates...however, some of the stores are so new there are no potential opening dates as yet.

I would like the stores with blank opening dates to appear at the bottom but when sorting by ascending (which is what I need) these blank dates appear at the top... is there any way around this?
thanks

Forms :: Date Sort Order - Newest To Oldest

Dec 17, 2013

I have a combobox (cbo_FileNames) that is unbound and gets fed on activate from a folder

Code:
Set SourceFolder = FSO.GetFolder("c:GundogManagerBackUp")

My problem is that the file names are as follows:

GundogManagerBackUp 02_12_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 03_12_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 07_08_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 16_11_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 17_12_13.xls

As you can see it consists of the name and a date of the backup. When it populates the combobox I want it to go in date order I newest to oldest. At the moment its going of the first number.

Forms :: Sort Mainform Based On Earliest Date On Subform?

Dec 13, 2013

I have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)

The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.

How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?

I have a query that I want to sort based on a table. (SS BELOW) I want the OS in qry2FINAL to be sorted based on Trn-OSstops table. So the OS column of the query should be sorted as which is the order shown in the table. I tried linking the 2 tables in my query but I had no clue what to do from there. Any help?MV6HP108PT337HP113 (sometimes there is an extra field, but can I make it show up last?)http://i10.tinypic.com/68hkwhe.gifEdit: I looked at my SS and it might be confusing.

Run A Macro To Sort A Table In Access 2003

Nov 7, 2006

Ok,

I have a table that has new data added into it through forms, and i want the data to be sorted when a new record is added.

The person that the database is for is new to Access and therefore is not 100% competant at it.

I wanted to add a button onto the forms that would run a macro that would sort the data. Is there a macro in Access that can do this?

Cheers,

Can I Do A Sort Within A Sort On Combo Boxes?

Oct 16, 2006

Hi all,

I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.

It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
