Sorting Field In Table?
Oct 24, 2012
I have a table that i would like to sort the records in one field Ascending.
I would like for the field to be updated after the record is entered so that the records in the field are all ways in a alphanumerical order.
I have put [SSB-CW].Square in the Order BY properties of the table. The Table is called SSB-CW and the field to sort is called Square. As i enter the records they stay in the order entered. When the table has been closed and then re-opened the records are sorted.
Do i need to design a form and set the lost focus property with the SQL [SSB-CW].Square.

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)

I have a report that has a field (4) whose data is in the form of NO.1.1.2, NO.2.1.1, NO.1.12.3, etc. It is not allowing me to have the report display with those in order, sorting this field is not offered. My report is being grouped by Fields 1, 2, and 3, no sorting. How can the data then displayed in Field 4 be in order of those numbers. Sorry I don't know more about Access and I'm having to do this without support. Thank you

i have a date field where about 80% of the data is entered in the format dd/mm/yyyy but the rest may be year only since the exact date is not known. Therefore, it does not have an input mask or a format set. Is it still possible to sort on that field? (As i write this i realise it is probably a dumb question but always worth a shot!)

I have a text field in a table that contains an alphanumeric code. i.e.
DEL998
DEL999
DEL1000
DEL1001
SUN998
SUN999
SUN1000
SUN1001
SUN1002
etc.
I want to run a query to find the highest number for a particular alpha code. In the example for DEL I would want the query to return DEL1001.
I have created a select query that asks for the alpha code, selects all codes starting with that code, sorts them in decending order and only displays the first record.
The problem is that because the field is a text field the numeric is not sorted like a number. So in the DEL case the query returns DEL999.
Any ideas on how I can get a result of DEL1001??
Thanks for your help

I have this form for data entry. I want to sort a field in a certain way which is neither ascending nor descending. The items in this field should be ordered as say, C, A, D, B. What I want is a custom order. How can we do it?
The field I am referring to is not on this form, but in the underlying table.
I am thinking of a VB code to achieve this purpose, where I can define the order. But not sure how to do it.

Hi,
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:)

I have a field on a table that is a DateTime format and it needs to be that way. I am trying to query that table for all the dates to use in a combobox but I only wat the date not the time. The problem is when I format the field to just date I can't sort it anymore as a date and I can't group them. I still get multiple lines in my combobox because there multiple times for the same day. what is the proper way in a query to extract just the date from a field and still sort it as date ie 1/12/2015 is greater than 12/15/2014?

I have a subform which tracks all the notes our personnel have entered in a specific project (which is the main form).
The issue is that I want the most current note to show in the subform when the project is "opened up". The underlying query for the subform has the [DATE] field sorted on "Descending".

Hello,
I have a project table that I track the progress of each job in by entering dates when certain portions are done. What I would like to do is when I fill in the "Project Completed" or "Cancelled" columns, to have that record automatically filtered out of the table. I still want to be able to turn off the filter at the end of the year to see all the projects we did, but I don't want this project cluttering up my table once it is finished or cancelled. Right now, I copy and move these completed projects to a separate table, but others say this is confusing and they can't figure out which table to use.
I input everything in the table format and don't have any forms that I use.
Thanks for any help.
Matt

hello,
I have a combo box that looks at a table with an SQL statement. In the form, the combo box shows the headers of the resulting table. Is there any way that the user can click on any header (let's say 'LastName' or 'Date' ) so the drop down list would be sorted by that header that the user clicks on??
Thank you very much

Below is an example of my table "Pricedata" include 03 fields:
Stock Name ___Price________Status Date
A________________10________ __1/6/2008_
A________________11___________1/7/2008_
A________________12___________1/8/2008__
B________________22___________1/6/2008_
B________________25___________1/7/2008_
B________________29___________1/8/2008__
C________________2____________1/6/2008_
C________________2____________1/7/2008__
C________________3____________1/8/2008_
D________________56___________1/6/2008_
D________________45___________1/7/2008_
D________________27___________1/8/2008__
I want to create a query like this: can calcualte the price change and % price change in certain period, and then sort in % change.
This result should be like the table below:
StockName Change in three days % Change in 03 days
C 1 50%
B 7 31.8%
A 2 20%
D -29 -51.78%
Thanks all,

I do not want the look up table for my combo box to sort the data so that the drop down will show the data the the order I enter it. The table automatically sorts the data even with the Remove Sort feature. I added another column with numbers and sorted it to put my data in order which works in the table but the drop down still sorts it alphabetically which I assume is because my number column is not the bound column.

I have a database of purchase orders
Many of the purchase orders have a revision No against them, eg:-
Purchase Order No / Line No / Revision No / Value
1001 / 001 / 00 / £50
1001 / 001 / 01 / £100
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
I am trying to find a way to write a query that will show me the actual value of the final revised value of each Purchase order line ie: the answer to above is
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
Could anyone please help?

I've been building a small app for some friends. At present, they enter "records" line by line into a word processor, then use (archaic, IMHO) macros to produce the desired printouts. They wanted the new data entry UI to mimic that process.
Ok, so I've adopted the datasheet form as the principal entry vehicle. Based on the initial info they gave me, there were two convenient fields to sort on, so I used them in the OrderBy clause of the query which serves as the form's recordsource. I also developed the code to maintain the sort order after they inserted or deleted a record.
Now it turns out they don't require an entry into those fields, and in fact there's no logical field at all on which to order by.
So the question is: how to approach this? From my reading, I can't use the primary key or an autonumbered field, since the former won't necessarily reflect the desired incrementation and the latter only triggers for a new record, not an insertion (is this correct?).
My thought is to add a simple numerical field (which will be hidden from the user) with sequential values. I can do the OrderBy on it, and add code to adjust those values whenever a record is deleted or inserted. (That will require looping through the recordset from the point where the deletion or insertion occurred.)
For instance, is there some way to add a calculated field to the recordsource for this purpose?

I have a table of about 250 items that are sorted based on two fields. I created a query of the table and hide one of the fields because it is only there for sorting purposes to group the data.
For example, I have a "Type" field. In the type field, I differentiate the items with different categories, such as "Materials", "Safety", etc. My next field is "subtype" which assists the "Type" field being sorted properly for my needs. In the "Materials" category, all of the items are either "Fencing", "Plastic", "Wire", or "Miscellaneous". I am sorting the "type" and "subtype" fields in ascending order so that all the "materials" are grouped together, and all of the "fencing, "plastic", etc are grouped together within the materials field.
I am creating a printable report and I do not want the "subtype" field to be on the report, but I need the "subtype" field's sort to be affecting my data so it is grouped properly. I'm having difficulty, is there a way to hide fields in reports?

I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?

I have managed to sort out the data to be used in the final table. However, I am having trouble transferring the data from each of their own tables into the final table.
Each time I run my code I receive "run-time error 3021: No current record."
It seems that only my timestamp is being added properly, but the error pops up and highlights the first "rstInsert.Edit" of my code. I'm suspecting that my function is running too fast, such that it did not have time to read that the table has already been populated by the timestamp in the AddNew code
Code:
Private Sub Command9_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstTimestamp As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAcknowledgement As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAgent As DAO.Recordset
[Code] ....

I'm trying to group data in a report from single table using grouping and sorting and I want the percentile of every record over group total. I'm using a query to fetch data from table, however I'm unable to get percentage of every single record over group total.
I want to display the report as attached image in single report. I'm unable to get data in "Perc" field. It's populating wrong values.

We have a database that we use to track the tablets in our organization, a combination of Apple, Android, and Windows.
We label them with a hostname depending on their branding. Example below.:
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE03
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID03
WINDOWS01
WINDOWS02
In the database we use the field name HOSTNAME for these entries. When sorting the field, due to it being a text field, we get the traditional sort of
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE11
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID11
ANDROID110
We would like to have them show up as
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE11
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID11
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID110
What is the best way to tackle this?

I am creating a database to keep up with the expenses for my art business. I have a table for Vendors with a field (Mileage) for one-way mileage that I enter manually (EX: 11.8 miles). Then I have a calculated field that basically just multiplies the Mileage field times two to get total mileage to and from my house to vendor location. (Total Miles) {The reason I want to do this this way right now is because I didn't keep up with my mileage this year and I am having to look up the distance from my home to each location)
Then I have a "supplies" table where I show the date, the vendor, the item, cost, etc, and I want to add a Total Mileage field based on the calculated Total Miles field in the Vendors table that will automatically populate based on the vendor of each transaction. I just can't remember how to make this work and I know just enough SQL to be dangerous.
