Hello,
I would like to filter my DG Form a column text (template row: field "Ospedale") but does not work:
Code: Select all
on MouseUp
dispatch "SortDataByKey" to group "DataGrid_Att_h_fasce" with "Ospedale", "text", "Ascending", "false"
dispatch "RefreshList" to group "DataGrid_Att_h_fasce"
end MouseUp
thank you

Sorry, don't understand!?
Do you have a column named "Ospedale" in your datagrid?

Hmm, syntax is correct, sorry no idea so far...
I would however leave out the last line, because the last parameter of SortDataByKey
defines if RefreshList is also applied to the datagrid after sorting
Code: Select all
on MouseUp
dispatch "SortDataByKey" to group "DataGrid_Att_h_fasce" with "Ospedale", "text", "Ascending", "TRUE"
end MouseUp
Best

Old thread but same issue. Has anybody gotten this to work on a DG form? I have a DG form that's populated using dgText so I can filter it later.
"More" is the name of the fld in the DG row template. Nothing seems to work.
Code: Select all
dispatch “SortDataByKey” to grp "PracticeList_DG" with "More", "international", "descending", "false"
on FillInData pDataArray
set the text of fld "Name" of me to pDataArray["Name"]
set the text of fld "More" of me to pDataArray["PreformanceLevel"]
end FillInData

On LC 6.7.6, the following code
Code: Select all
dispatch "SortDataByKey" to group "DgForm1" with "Field1", "text", "descending", "false"
works perfectly for me.
Something to do with LC7?
Regards,
Sri

I figured it out. I have thumb nail images in the DG. This, for some reason, stops the sort from happening. I submitted a bug report. Thanks for the reply. For now I'll remove the images.

OOpps. I found the problem. I copied the SortDataByKey from someplace. To lazy to type.

and I ended up with curly quotes. Mybad.

Hi Tom,
I've looked at
Bug 15802
that you reported. I have also seen your comment that it is not a bug.
The status is "confirmed"
You as the author can change the status to "Not a bug"
That way it reduces unnecessary open tickets in Quality Control Center. It would be a nice gesture and save QCC some time.
Kind regards
Bernd
Edit: when you open a bug report and refer to it it would be nice to also put the bug number. Thank you.

I got the sort, sorted out.

But I have another question. When I sort on a key (ascending) where some of the entries are empty, the empty ones are at the top. Is there a way to sort ascending and have the empty values at the bottom?
