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.
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.

Hi, I have a table whose Identifying column is not an integer but rather a manually entered id. (i.e. 106F, 106-09, G11 etc.) When sorted ascending, a G11 will come before a G2 in the list, 106-11 before 106-2, etc.I would like to insert a new column in the database or use some kind of function when sorting the database to ensure that the list in returned in the proper order. Any ideas?Much appreciated...
I am a little new at T-SQL. and I could use a suggestion on the best way to accomplish this task. I have an application where I must loop through a table in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, find the records that match and break them up into groups where the value of the Thickness field is in groups of ( <=8).
Lets say I have 100 records and the table contains sacks marked A, B, C, and D. Within Sack A is 6 records. Each of the 6 records has a thickness column with a value between 0.5 to 1.0 (my example shows 2) I have a column called bundle that I must update to show a 1 for the first group of (<=8) inches thick a 2 for the second group (<=8) inches thick and so on. Then repeat the process for sacks B, C and D.
What I need to do is sum the thickness until it gets to less than 8 and update bundle with a 1. The result would be 4 records and the table would then look like this:
Notice there are two records that are not bundles for sack A. I need to place them in a separate bundle called 2. The result will be as follows Order Number |Zipcode | Sack(A, B, C,or D)| Thickness |Bundle| 1 |19809 |A | 2 |1 | 2 |19809 |A | 2 |1 3 |19809 |A | 2 |1 4 |19809 |A | 2 |1 5 |19809 |A | 2 |2 6 |19809 |A | 2 |2 | 7 |19721 |B | 4 |NULL| 8 |19721 |B | 3 |NULL 9 |19721 |B | 2 |NULL 10 |19721 |B | 5 |NULL | 11 |19721 |B | 2 |NULL | 12 |19721 |B | 2 |NULL |
Now Sack A is complete so I must move on to Sack B. The first two records total to 7 and adding another record would move the thickness past 8 so I must update the bundle for only the first two records with a 1. The next two total to seven also and the following 2 total to four. We must set those bundles to 1, 2, 3 as follows
I have a table which visibility can be toggled by a text box. By default it is invisible. After it is made visible, clicking a sortable column header makes the table invisible. Does this mean sorting makes the table go back to its default visibility?
I have a field (varchar) in a list that contains numbers and letters. I want to sort this table but I have only two functions that will work to convert the values:
Val The Val function sorts the numbers in the string, but the letters are not sorted
CStr The CStr function sorts the letters, but the numbers are not sorted
akanksha shukla writes "the issue is that i want to sort the records stored in a table according to aparticular column in such a manner that the sorted reaults are permanantly commited onto the same table i.e. the results are reflected on the same table whose records are being used for sorting i know that order by clause can provide me a view of records sorted on basis of a particular column but the changes are not being reflected onto the table . i donot want to create a fresh table to reflect the changes. kindly suggest some help"
As I said above, how do I put sorting + paging in a stored procedure.My database has approximately 50000 records, and obviously I can't SELECT all of them and let GridView / DataView do the work, right? Or else it would use to much resources per one request.So I intend to use sorting + paging at the database level. It's going to be either hardcode SQL or stored procedures.If it's hardcode SQL, I can just change SQL statement each time the parameters (startRecord, maxRecords, sortColumns) change.But I don't know what to do in stored procedure to get the same result. I know how to implement paging in stored procedure (ROW_NUMBER) but I don't know how to change ORDER BY clause at runtime in the stored procedure.Thanks in advance.PS. In case "ask_Scotty", who replied in my previous post, http://forums.asp.net/thread/1696818.aspx, is reading this, please look at my reply on your answer in the last post. Thank you.

Ok this is what I have $query = $query = "SELECT date, file name FROM comment WHERE file name ='', AND CorS='C', AND Approved='Y', ORDER BY file name DESC";

here's a good one for you...I want to return the last 20 records I have modified. I have adatemodified field - excellent.So I run a query to select the top 20 when ordered by datemodifieddesc.But now I have these results I want them sorted by companyname.Is this possible?Yes I could use my GUI to do the second sort, but can it be done justin a query?ThanksTim
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)
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?

I have a view of a table which contains users. the SQL is:
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwTravellers AS SELECT TravellerID AS ID, LTRIM(RTRIM(LastName)) + ', ' + LTRIM(RTRIM(FirstName)) + ' - DOB:' + LEFT(RTRIM(DOB), 11) AS Value FROM dbo.tblTravellers
I would like to be able to sort the view by LastName, Firstname, but it doesnt allow a SORT BY in the view. Does anyone know of a cheeky little trick I could use to get around this?

I wish I'd listened in that SQl Server training course I attended :(
I am trying to sort a matrix by column. I first tried adding an interactive sort to the column heading, but it either gave me a run-time error, or there was not response. I then tried adding sorting to the row groups, and that doesn't seem to work either. I feel I have done every combination of groupings and sort expressions. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Thanks, Kris
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'm trying to sort/order on this special field/column that I have created to allow precise ordering. However, for all of the values that are returned, if there are any NULLS, they are returned first/ahead of the values of what I want to be returned first. This field/column I created is called 'POW' (stands for Priority on Web). The values are just integers, 1-whatever, and we try to make sure that they're all unique. So for example, if we have a 1 in that field, then that row should be returned first, and if another row has 2, then it should be next. However, this is not working exactly - all of the NULL values are returned FIRST, then the proper values in the correct order. I want the NULLS to be last, because it may take some time for someone to go into each record, and assign it a unique value. My current SQL statement reads:
mySQL = "SELECT SignTypes.Id, SignTypes.SignType, SignTypes.SignDescription, SignTypes.FinalSignWidth, SignTypes.FinalSignHeight FROM SignTypes JOIN PropLocSigns ON SignTypes.Id = PropLocSigns.SignTypeID WHERE PropLocSigns.PropLocID = " & Session("PropID") & " AND (RestrictOnWeb = 0 OR RestrictOnWeb IS NULL) ORDER BY SignTypes.POW; SELECT @@ROWCOUNT"
So if someone knows of a way to put NULLS last, and still have my proper ordering, that would be great! I would think that there's some simple way of doing this, but not being an expert, I don't know. Thanks for the help!
