Hi I have a problem if one of my fields I chamge it to a text field.( I need to add some text on it) on an ascending ordered report it orders 10 then 100 then 5. How can I order properly my field not as a number but as a text field
regards,
My understanding is that is how it will order it in a text field. Reading left to right, 1 comes before 5. Suggest adding your text in a different field.
HI Yes but 10 comes before 5 in this case
Thanks,
HI Yes but 10 comes before 5 in this case
Thanks,
Yes, but it is no longer 10, you converted it to text and so it is now 1 and a zero. Reading left to right, 1 comes before 5, so that is why you are seeing the sort order as 1,10,100,2,20,2 00, etc...
In a query, use this Val([field1]) which will return the number value and give you the sort you are looking for.
You say you need to "add some text to it." Is this text the same each time, or is it always the same number of characters? Tell us a little about this.
The standard way to make digits entered as text order as you want is to add leading zeros thru formatting, but in a mixed alpha-numeric text field, you'd have to separate the alpha from the numeric component.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to sort/order the Category text items in a property
grid. The grids sort the categories by alpha when the catergories are
displayed.
Does anyone at Microsoft (or anywhere else) no of a way that we can override
that sort/order for the category text?

Any good routines or suggestions to assist me in re-ordering my records in my
datagrid?
i.e. I have a field in each record that is used for ordering (i.e. 1,2,3,4).
I would like to implement a set of options to move the record up one, down
one, move to top, move to bottom of this order. Thus changing that field
values, and the others in the table.
so then I can sort based on that field to order the values.

Hello all,
I've heard differing opinions on this and would like a definitive
answer on this once and for all. If I have an array of 4 1-byte values
where index 0 is the least signficant byte of a 4-byte value. Can I use
the arithmatic shift operators to hide the endian-ness of the
underlying processor when assembling a native 4-byte value like
follows:
unsigned int integerValue;
unsigned char byteArray;

Hi all, is there a key value collection in .Net that maintains the
ordering in which I add items.
I'm finding that I'm creating a number of classes that contain a name
and then some object. I would prefer just to use some collection that
maintains the ordering in which I add things (like ArrayList), but that
maps a key to a value.
I thought NameValueCollection was the right one - but it doesn't
guarantee ordering.
