symbols while sorting

Former Member — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 13:37:33 GMT

Hi,

I have designed an ALV report with 10 fields.

While sorting in standard reports there will be a small triangle symbol will be displayed in the field header.

how to enable that in my customized report.

when calling function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, sorted field must be set in IT_SORT of type SLIS_T_SORTINFO_ALV

if you are calling directly the class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID then you have to SET_SORT_CRITERIA with IT_SORT of type LVC_T_SORT

Is the symbol one of the field ?? What type it is ??

What is the content for Items in this field ??

If items are blank, i believe Sort itab by Symbol descending F1 F2 should do.

Hi Ramya,

In the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, you need to make use of table IT_SORT.



DATA: it_sort TYPE slis_t_sortinfo_alv,
      wa_sort LIKE LINE OF it_sort.

CLEAR wa_sort.
wa_sort-fieldname = 'VBELN'.... your 1st column to be sorted.
wa_sort-tabname = 'ITAB'....... your internal table name.
wa_sort-up = 'X'.
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sort.

CLEAR wa_sort.
wa_sort-fieldname = 'MATNR'.... your 2nd column to be sorted.
wa_sort-tabname = 'ITAB'....... your internal table name.
wa_sort-up = 'X'.
APPEND wa_sort TO it_sort.

Now use IT_SORT in function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

Regards,

Danish.
