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.

I have after much stress gotten my comments history field to appear on a form.
The following code gives me what I needed
Code:
=ColumnHistory([RecordSource],"LastUpdateBy","[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0))
I have only one simple thing left, that is perplexing to say the least.
Some comment fields will be many short notes, spread over time.
My desire is to change the sort order of the results so the most recent (rather than the initial) comment is at the top.

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

I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.

WinXPPro Sp3
Access 2007
After some research I thought I had found a neat way to SELECT records from a table based on an 'IN' clause and sort them in the same order as the values for the 'IN' clause... i.e.
Code:
SELECT Unique_No, Table_Name, List_Order FROM My_Table
WHERE Table_Name = 'Titles'
AND List_Order IN (3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2)
ORDER BY INSTR('3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2', List_Order)
Unfortunately, this returns list_order 5 just after 15 and list_order 2 just after 12, thus
List_Order
3
1
15
5
4
12
2
7

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.

I have a form with a subform. I want the records on the subform to be in alphabetical order of first name. At the moment, they appear in the order the records were entered.
I have opened up the subform itself in design view and specified the record order. If I then switch to form view for this, the records correctly display in alphabetical order.
However, when this form is displayed as the subform, the ordering reverts to the original order of record entry.
How can I change this?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi,
I just made a form for order entry which has a subform with order details where each line is a product number with quantity, extended price, etc...
The problem is that when I add a product in the subform, I add it in the new record which is at the bottom of the form. I can add many product like that it works no problem , just adding them to the bottom of the list.
But, when I close the main form and reopen it, the records are now liste is the opposite direction, meaning that the last product i added is now the first row of the subform...So the subform is now populated backwards with the latest record being the first one...
What can I do for the subform to always list the products in the same order I originally input them?....
Thanks,
Hugues

Hi everyone. I need help on this one
I have a form with a subform. The subform is basically the sale history of the item on the main form (The main form shows a record and then the subform reports its history). This all works fantastic, except that on the subform, every time a new record is entered, it goes to the bottom of the previous one, so after a while, if I want to enter more history into the subform, I have to scroll down through all the older ones to get to the more recent ones.
How can I do it so that in the subform the most recent entry is always at the top and each time a new record is entered, the older ones move down one. This way the most recent records are always on display and older ones move down as they become less important. Likewise, the empty record used to enter data is also at the top!
Thanks!!

I have developed a database but have had difficulty with sorting data within subform of a main form. The subform displays the related tasks that correspond with main form that has been selected. Within the main form I have also created a text field that defines a particular sorting sequence of the tasks found within the subform which is titled Task Sequence. What I would like to do, is use the Task Sequence field to sort the order of tasks within subform. I have tried: IIf([ID] Is Null, 0, Val([Task Sequence])) within the Advanced filter/sort but either it shows only the first task defined in the Task Sequence or it wants to filter the main form and not the subform.

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.

Supposed I have the following tables:
TableMonthlyReport consists of the following fields:
*IDStore
*Year
*Month
*IDCatalog
*IDItem
Quantity
TableGoods:
*IDCatalog
*IDItem
ItemName
IDSupplier
The asterisks indicates the index keys. While TableMonthlyReport has 2 links of relationship with the TableGoods on IDCatalog and IDItem.
I have a data entry front end for monthly report. I have no problem to have the record source for this purpose.
I just need that the sort order of the item (in the front end) in a way that they could be managed differently on different period. For example, in March to April 2007 I want the items shown in the following order: A B C D ... While in May to August 2007 I want the items shown as B D A C ....
I tried to create an order table just like this:
TableGoodsOrder:
*IDCatalog
*IDItem
*ValidStart
ValidEnd
OrderItem
It is linked with the TableGoods on IDCatalog and IDItem.
The first order list (March - April 2007) will have the ValidStart of 703 and ValidEnd of 704. While the next order list will have the ValidStart of 705 and 708. The last 2 digits stand for the month, while the first digit is to indicate year.
The SQL query for the record source works but I can not enter any value. So, the idea of having a special table for sort order is not OK.
Can anybody give me a clue for the solution?

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.:)

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.

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.

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?
