Sorting And Grouping Question By Allowing Users To Select The Sorting Field
Feb 11, 2007
I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

Is there a way to conditionally turn off a group? where would that be?
I dont want it to group and sort the data in anyway?
is there a way to force the grouping order (not as ascending/descending but your own stated order without doing that in the proc it calls? Thanks!

SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.

I have an interesting challenge. Imagine I own a pizza restaurant and I have delivery drivers (4). I also have a fixed number of delivery Routes for my restaurant and these routes have varying number of households on the them. I want to sort and assign the routes as evenly as I can to the drivers.
My route data my look like this:
[RouteID]_[RouteName]_[HouseHolds]___[DriverID]
-----------------------------------------------------
1________Route01_____700__________0
2________Route02_____210__________0
3________Route03_____111__________0
4________Route04_____452__________0
5________Route05_____236__________0
6________Route06_____111__________0
7________Route07_____300__________0
8________Route08_____421__________0
9________Route09_____1200_________0
10_______Route10______525_________0
Drivers:
-------------------------
1 - Bob
2 - John
3 - Ricky Bobby
4 - Batman
What I'm TRYING to is write a Stored Proc to loop though the records (routes) and assign them to the drivers as evenly as possible based on households (staying with whole integers).
I've tried a couple of different concepts but keep hitting 'writers block'.

I've got a report built and I'm trying to figure out how sorting and grouping works. I can group the report by Patient, Albumin and it groups as I would expect.
Patient Date Albumin
Adams, John 01/28/2007 4.1
Adams, John 12/30/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/15/2007 3.2
Barker, Mark 01/18/2007 4.3
Barker, Mark 01/22/2007 4.1
Barker, Mark 01/05/2007 3.9
However, when I try to group by Albumin, Patient, it just sorts by Albumin.
Patient Date Albumin
Barker, Mark 01/18/2007 4.3
Adams, John 01/28/2007 4.1
Barker, Mark 01/22/2007 4.1
Adams, John 12/30/2007 3.9
Barker, Mark 01/05/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/15/2007 3.2
What I'm looking for is this:
Patient Date Albumin
Barker, Mark 01/18/2007 4.3
Barker, Mark 01/22/2007 4.1
Barker, Mark 01/05/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/28/2007 4.1
Adams, John 12/30/2007 3.9
Adams, John 01/15/2007 3.2
Is this something that can be done with grouping and sorting?
Thanks,
Chad

Hi, I've created a website usiing asp.net and all the data are stored in sql front. All the item are sorted in ascending order except one record. The correct order should be MP61, MP100, MP200, but this record is retrieved as MP100, MP200, MP61. If the coding is wrong, all the order displayed is not in ascending order. We have hundreds of items, but why it happens to this particular record? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible
Thanks!

This is feeling very hard for me, but is surely very easy for many of you.
I have 2 Tables. "Events" and "Meals". Both have a columns named "EventDate" and "EventTime". I need to be able to compile a list of both and sort by event date and time. For example, a Meal @ 5:30 would place itself between a 4:00 Event, and a 6:30 Event.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Pending deadline doom :(
Thanks,

The file of about 30,000 records contains an address field where addresses are entered in the following form:
128 NW 8 ST
3444 SW 19 AVE
32 SE 122 TERR
12604 SW 148 PL
Then there are anomalies such as
123 E BLVD
(I can ignore the anomalies until the main challenge is overcome.)
The challenge is that I have been asked to sort the addresses in the following order:
quadrant (e.g., NW, SW),
street number (e.g., 122),
street name (e.g., TERR)
house number (e.g., 128)
It seemed like I should create a view that can be updated regularly, as records will be added/deleted ongoing.
How do I get these part into a four-column view? Or, is there another way to do this?

I've made another topic before concerning this problem, but since it was really confusing, I will made one clearer (it was about orthodromic formula, in case you read it, but the problem change during the topic, so thats why im creating this new one too).
I have a stored procedure with custom pagin method inside, and I want to sort my records on a fields I create myself (which will receive a different value for each record.) Now, I want to sort on this temporary field. And since this is a custom paging method I can choose between many page. Now, for the first page, it sorts fine. But when I choose a page above the first one, the sorting is not right (the results all are wrong).
So my real question is: is it really possible to sort on a Temporary Field in a custom paging method (because I know I can do it without any problem on a real field from my table, it just doesnt work right when I try on a temporary field). I tried to solve my problem with this little SQL instruction, but it didnt give me any result yet:
SELECT TOP 20 PK, test = field_value FROM Table WHERE PK not in (SELECT TOP 10 ad_id FROM Table ORDER BY ?) ORDER BY ?
well thanks for taking the time to read this, any help woulb be appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a SELECT DISTINCT and sorting problem.
I work at a college and our department has resources such as CD players, Projectors etc that staff can book for a certain time and room. The table I have for these bookings records multiple records for each booking because I’m recording the time slots as well. It’s a bit like this:
BookingID: 1, RefNo: 234543, ResourceID: 5, TimeSlotID: 4, TheDate: 04/05/2005BookingID: 2, RefNo: 234543, ResourceID: 5, TimeSlotID: 5, TheDate: 04/05/2005BookingID: 3, RefNo: 234543, ResourceID: 5, TimeSlotID: 6, TheDate: 04/05/2005BookingID: 4, RefNo: 234543, ResourceID: 5, TimeSlotID: 7, TheDate: 04/05/2005
That would be one booking but across 4 time slots, relating to actual times during the day. I realise this probably isn’t normalised but I’ve done it now and ran into a problem.
I need to select distinct on the RefNo column to return only one record for each booking, but I also need to sort the data by the date and time, so that the today’s are at the top, and in time order.
Without doing a complete redesign of the data structure, can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve

I've got a table where the date and time fields are all out of sequence and I need them in sequence when I am extracting data from the table, but I'm having trouble writing the SQL.
I've got this line which sorts the date and time for the table:
SELECT * from tblcodegreydiv order by date desc, time desc
Now I'm trying to retrieve the closest record prior to a date,time selected by a user...
SELECT * from tblCodeGreyDiv
WHERE recid=(SELECT MAX(recid) from tblCodeGreyDiv WHERE date + '' + time <= '2007-09-19 05:24')
I need to somehow sort the table before I run the above sql statement. How would I go about doing this?

I want to select the below info from a sql 2005 db, to use it in a dynamic datadriven menu. Only problem, I don't know how to formulate my select statement. So here's the data
ID, TEXT HREF DESCR PARENTID
1
hMenu1
link1.htm
desc text
0
2
hMenu2
link2.html
desc text
0
3
sMenuM1
link3.htm
desc text
1
4
sMenuTSMenu3
link4.htm
desc text
3
I want the data structured so that below the row with id 1, would come it's subitems, subitems for the subitems and so on. So the recordset I'd like to return would in this case be:hMenu1
sMenuM1
sMenuTSMenu3
hMenu2
I've indented the data just to make things clearer. And finally, I want the substructure to be infinite at least in theory.I also do not want to use recursive logic to do this, if possible. I can change the structure of my table if neeed.Cheers!/Eskil

Hi
I need to select unique records from a Table. I'm using Distinct Keyword for this purpose. But the result set is showing distinct records in sorted order. I do'nt want to sort records. I need the order in which they are created in table.
Please suggest me the solution for this problem.
Thanks

Sample Table
USE [Testing]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Testing] Script Date: 4/25/2014 11:08:18 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.

I'm relatively new to administering SQL Server, hence this basic question.
What are the standard practice tool(s)/methods for allowing users access to a database to edit data? In this case, these are engineers (not programmers) that need to edit some values. The practice in the past has been to install Enterprise Manager on their PC. However, this does not seem proper to me and I was thinking more along the lines of having them use Access instead.
I compare Enterpise Manager in SQL Server as an equilvalent to Enterprise Manager in Oracle - these are tools only for use by database administrators. Is this a correct correlation, or is Enterpise Manager in SQL Server a tool that users (and programmers?) are commonly allowed to use? In the case of common users, I would think not.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Is there anyway to allow SQL Server users to change their own passwords without giving them rights to "db_securityadmin" ?
Our M$ adviser suggested creating our own app using SQL NS and DMO to do it.
Is there any easier method, reference, download sample from the web?

I'm building a package that will periodically be used to import data from an excel file to update a SQL database. I've done most of it but I am completely stuck on one bit:
How can I build something in that allows the user to browse for the Excel file to be imported (like you do when you set up the Excel Connection Manager and it asks which file)?
My ideal world would be someway of calling just that part of the Import wizard.
There are lots of things about dynamically choosing the file using variables but they don't allow end-user interaction. It may be that I'm trying to do something I shouldn't.........

I have a text field in the form of numbers separated by periods like this: 1,1.2,1.2.1
When I sort, it works fine unless I get out to 10 digits.
Desired sort: 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.2,.....,1.1.9,1.1.10
Actual sort: 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.10,1.1.2,.....,1.1.9
The 10 is showing up smaller than the 2 because of the straight text comparison, any ideas on how to get around this?

is this even possible in reporting services? I already deployed reports for our client using Reporting Services 2000, one of their complaints was that the dropdownlist of the reports contains a very long list of data, this list cannot be shorten since all data are required. Is there a way to let the users type in characters, not only one character to find the exact data they want. The data in the drop down list are needed because these data are parameters.
Are there any web based reporting tools which can provide this kind of requirement?

I have a gridview that has AllowSorting="true" however I need to implement my own sorting because I have DateTime and Integer data types in several of the columns and I don't want an int column sorted like 1,12,2,23,3,34,4,45,5,56, etc. So, I've added SortParameterName="sortBy" and adjusted my stored procedure to accept this. For only ASC sorting, I've got
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortBy='' THEN DateCreated END, CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated' THEN DateCreated END
and so on. However, columns can also be sorted with DESC. I tried CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated DESC' THEN DateCreated DESC END, but I get a syntax error on DESC. How can I do this?

I am trying to set up custom paging and sorting with my gridview. All is well but the sorting. The problem is with the stored procedure. If I pass in the value @sortExpression as, for example "discussions_Posts.post_time", i does not sort it at all. But if I replace the @sortExpression with discussions_Posts.post_time in the actual stored procedure, it gets sorted. how do I sort this query with a input parameter with values like "discussions_Topics.topic_title" or something? ALTER PROCEDURE discussions_GetTopicsSubSet@startRowIndex as int,@maximumRows as int,@sortExpression as nvarchar(50),@board_id as intASDECLARE @Topics TABLE(RowNumber INT,topic_id INT,topic_title VARCHAR(50),topic_replies INT,topic_views INT,topic_type INT,topic_time DATETIME,post_id int,post_time DATETIME,Topic_Author_UserName nvarchar(256),Topic_Author_ID uniqueidentifier,Post_Author_Username nvarchar(256),Post_Author_ID uniqueidentifier)--DECLARE @TopicsFrom Datetime--SELECT @TopicsFrom = CASE @TopicsDays WHEN '1' THEN DATEADD(day,-1,getdate()) WHEN '2' THEN DATEADD(day,-7,getdate()) WHEN '3' THEN DATEADD(day,-14,getdate()) WHEN '4' THEN DATEADD(month,-1,getdate()) WHEN '5' THEN DATEADD(month,-3,getdate()) WHEN '6' THEN DATEADD(month,-6,getdate()) WHEN '7' THEN DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) ELSE DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) END-- populate the table CAST(getdate() as int)INSERT INTO @TopicsSELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY @sortExpression), discussions_Topics.topic_id, discussions_Topics.topic_title, discussions_Topics.topic_replies, discussions_Topics.topic_views, discussions_Topics.topic_type,discussions_Topics.topic_time, discussions_Posts.post_id, discussions_Posts.post_time, user_1.UserName AS Topic_Author_Username, user_1.UserId AS Topic_Author_ID, user_2.UserName AS Post_Author_Username, user_2.UserId AS Post_Author_IDFROM discussions_Topics INNER JOIN discussions_Posts ON discussions_Posts.post_id = discussions_Topics.topic_last_post_id INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_1 ON user_1.UserId = discussions_Topics.topic_poster INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_2 ON user_2.UserId = discussions_Posts.poster_idWHERE (discussions_Topics.board_id = @board_id ANDdiscussions_Topics.topic_type NOT LIKE '1' )SELECT * from @TopicsWHERE RowNumber BETWEEN @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1

This is more of a SQL question than a .NET question, but if you could indulge me, I'd appreciate it.
I have a table that has 2 columns of particular interest for the purposes of this question. One is a foreign key to another table (int), the other is a name (varchar(50). I want to sort the results set in a specific way. I want to sort it in such a way that all entries that have the foreign key = 0 come first (sorted ASC by name) then I'd like all the other results with foreign key column > 0 to be sorted ASC by name. I was trying to be cute and tried an order by statement like this: "ORDER BY (foreignKey > 0), name" but it's a syntax error (as I initially thought it might be). I know I could probably do a stored procedure that will create a temporary table and I could insert a new column to help put these in order, and I also know I could put all the results into an array, then sort the array in code, but I was just wondering if there was a simpler, slicker way (tricky SQL query perhaps).

Hi,
I hope I can explain what I am trying to achieve (in MS SQL Server):
The results set that shows Names and Dates (plus others, but not relevant here), that needs to be sorted by Date and then by name.
I have tried:
ORDER BY date, surname, forename (gives dates in right order but not names)
and
ORDER BY surname, forename, date (gives names in right order but not dates)
Thanks for any advice!

I noticed when looking at the execution path that the SQL sort (order by) was taking up 16% of the total for the query. However the execution time for the sort was like .007 ms in SQL so I doubt it was really that much overhead.
Is it more effecient to sort a dataset within my asp.net program?
