I have items in a list. I would like to add a number field that would indicate the order of the items in the list. Is it possible to do it ? I can't find any option like that.
In fact, it seems that the "Change Order" option available in all previous SP version is missing in SP 2010.
The custom order is still available via the list views.
You could create your own field for a list and set the list sort order in your view to use that field. Then you can choose descending or ascending order.

I need to sort a very long list fields in Power BI that I need in a special order - not the default sort by name/number.
My dataset looks like this:
and I created another table to use for sorting:
I am stuck from here. I think I need to create a relation between the to tables and then use it to sort the field list. But I do not know where to start.
The order I have now looks like this:
Assuming you're sorting in Power Query, then:
1 Sort table SortOrder by column SortOrder:
= Table.Sort(#"Previous Step",{{"SortOrder", Order.Ascending}})
2 Sort table Data by list SortOrder[ColumnName]:
= Table.Sort(#"Previous Step",SortOrder[ColumnName])
EDIT
It seems you're actually asking how to change the order in which fields are displayed in the Fields Pane
This is currently not possible - fields are always displayed in alphabetical order.

The only workaround just now would be to rename your fields so they display in your required order - eg:
01_ClmName_A
02_ClmName_C
03_ClmName_E
04_ClmName_B
05_ClmName_Q
06_ClmName_F
Suppose I have one order with multiple items. How to check order-status of each item individually particular order in Magento-2.1.12?
I have a subform with a table, where some fields are restricted to tables. The tables are sorted in the correct order, but when it is used in the subform, it is set to default sorting. I can't find the location of the correct place to set the sorting criteria. I tried using query instead of a table, but i could only sort either by ascending or descending (or nothing). All three options resultet in undesired order. Example of the phase being sorted as default despite the table settings:
Suggestions?
As Gustav suggests, add another field to your t_Phase table, which will be the order you want this list to appear in the drop-down (make sure it is a number field):
Supply the numeric order:
In your other table, you can use the ID field from your t_Phase table by selecting it through the lookup wizard:
Move across the ID and the new "Order" field you just created:
Use the "Order" field as the field you want to use for sorting and make sure "Ascending" is selected:
Continue through the wizard:
Select the field that has the data you want to go in to the record of your table (I assume it's the ID field rather than the Order field, so make sure ID is selected):
Finish the lookup wizard and go in to Datasheet View on your table and check that the dropdown is now in numeric order. You've probably noticed a problem though as it is showing both the ID and the Order columns:
To hide the unnecessary Order column, go back in to Design View and click on your phase field to select it.
At the bottom should be a "Lookup" tab. Click on this and notice the Column Widths property... it's showing 2 different widths values; the first one is the ID field and the second one is the Order field. Set the Order field to 0cm to hide it. I'd then recommend setting the remaining Id field width to something that will be wide enough to show all your ID field's options. Then I'd set the List Width property to the same width.
8cm, for example:
This should result in something like the following, which is hopefully what you're after.
If you're not adding a lookup field to the design structure of a table, but are instead using a combo-box on a form or subform, the principle is pretty much the same; you'll just have to amend the combo-box properties from the form's Property Sheet "Format" tab instead:
Combo- and listboxes always contain text, thus your column is not sorted numeric.
To have a numeric sort, add a column with the number only and - in the source - sort only on that. If you don't the number separately, create it from this expression:
Val(Mid([PhaseField], 7))
I want to know if anyone knows how to sort the values in a listbox in Qlikview, when one is forced to have an expression in the sort tab?
I had to use the same expression from the general tab in the sort tab
if(datakilde='Aarlig', Aktivitetsnavn)
Otherwise the listbox didn't show the associated values (from a selected value from another listbox) in the top of the listbox - which aren't very user friendly.
But as a consequence the sorting in alphabetic order is no longer works...
(And I had to have an expression in the general tab, becausecI only need a subset of the loaded data).
(I also tried with the option auto ascending in the state box under the sort tab).
See my sort tab below.
Kind Regards Maria
There are multiple solutions on this, but I think the correct one, would be to create a field in your datamodel, that contains just the values that need in the listbox.
Listboxes are not very good at filtering data. So take your if statement, and put it into the source table:
if(datakilde='Aarlig', Aktivitetsnavn) as Aktivitetsnavn_2
Then you don't have to struggle with filtering data in listboxes and your sorting will be correct.
i had similar problem while sorting a listbox with values filtered by an expression. I gave up on filtering in listbox and filtered in my load script. After that i was able to sort properly.
A solution for a similar situation I just had was the following:
I've loaded all Items that i needed sorted & filtered out in a separate table, for example:
zones:
LOAD * INLINE [
zone, **zone_order**
zone A, 1
zone D, 2
zone C, 3
zone B, 4
];
I've added my zone in the filter and in the Sort tab, i've chosen to sort by expression: zone_order, and that's it!
I have a content type for which I created a field. I want to sort random field items. My previous topic is Sort random field items via jQuery.
I want to learn how to randomly sort, via template.php, or other Drupal solution.
How can I randomly sort my field items?
Create a view using contrib Views module that would output the fields that you are interested in sorting.
Now in the view you can select random sort. This option is available in Sort option as "Global: Random".
