Sorting Records

Mar 11, 2005

I'm new to this but I am currently working on a DB for work. We are tracking employees that are trained by using an "X" in a Field to signify that they are in the process of being trained. Once they are trained they will enter the date it was completed. I need a query that will give me the number of "X"s and the number of dates. Currently it only gives me the total for all "X"s and dates. Is it possible to split the fields in a query and further receive the percentage of each including how many employees do not have any "X"s of dates? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope that this make sense.

Sorting Records In A Lookup

Jan 23, 2008

Hi all,

Pretty straight forward question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on the net. I have a table with a text field that's values are pulled from another table via the Lookup Wizard. Everything works fine, and I now have a drop-down box that displays all of the fields I have set up with the Lookup Wizard.

But, how do I sort the records that appear in that drop-down? They are not ordered in the same way that the table they are pulled from is, nor do they seem to be ordered based on any one column.

Any help is much appreciated.

Sorting Records In A Query

Nov 9, 2005

I am having a problem sorting records in a query. I have about 5, 000 entries in a table and when I build my query based on certain fields, the numbers in certain columns are not in order although I use the sorting feature. ( e.g.) I have 5 columns with numbering data contained in the columns, and I have it set up to sort in ascending order, which it did, but I noticed that the Volume # column sorts the Volume numbers differently (see example below):

V. 1
V. 10
V. 11
V. 12
then it goes back to
V. 2
V. 3
V. 4
V. 5
V. 6
V. 7
V. 8
V. 9

It looks like it sorts anything with a 1 first then the rest later. How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Sorting Records After The Last Space

Hello all,

I have a field in a database that has people's full name (e.g. Jane B. Doe). I would like to sort by their last name. Can I build a query that looks at everything after the last space in their name? Thanks in advance.

Sorting Records In A Report

Jul 30, 2005

Is there a way to Sort records in a report by a Report total? I have a report that is created by a crosstab query that sums orders by Billing Client but the query also has a billing client qroup which can contain many Billing Clients. Since the report total (Counts) are by Billing Client I do not have the actually totals per client group in the query to sort by. I know how to do this in Crystal Reports by the report would needs to mulpiple workstation, which have the crystal reports engine but not the actually designer (In other works I don't know the code to print a crystal report from Access with only the crystal reports engine on the workstation).

Sorting Of Records In Text Box In Form

Dec 7, 2004

I have a text box called tboWorkstream on a form. I can scroll through the records using the navigation bar at the bottom. However, I want the records to be sorted by the Workstream Column, not the Workstream ID column (which is the primary key.)

Is there a way to do this?

I know you can list the way you want in a combo, but not sure how you do this in a bound textbox.

Thanks

Forms :: Sorting Records In A Combo With Code?

Apr 25, 2014

Can you have a saved (unsorted) query as a row source for a combo and then add some code to enable the combo to sort the list?

Reason is, I want three combos to use the same query for finding records in different ways, but need the query to be saved, not a query built by the query builder that access takes you into from the row source on the combo data tab?

I only need the data listed in each of the combos to be sorted by one column in each of the combos.

Have seen something about bubble sorting, but not sure if this is OTT or even could be applied to this?

FYI, this is not a cascading situation.

Sorting A Table, Apply The Sorting To A Form

Mar 10, 2006

Hi 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?

Hi 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

I 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.

Sorting

Jun 26, 2007

In 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-?

Access Sorting

Oct 4, 2005

I 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?

Ex:

Currently,

3
A
B
c

Desired:

A
B
C
1
2
3


Thanks in advance to all who reply!!!

Sorting Numerically

Jan 25, 2006

i 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, 2007

How 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.

Sorting By Ignoring × And +

Jan 27, 2007

I 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?
