Selective sorting

former_member189059 — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 08:46:29 GMT

hello experts,

i have an internal table with a field

LV_CMP_FLAG(2) type C

this can have one of 5 values viz: L, ML, MR, R or a blank value

i need to sort this table in such a way that displays the ML values first followed by MR, L and then R and the blank ones

if i use normal sort command i get L first, then ML, MR and R

also keep in mind the fact that i will be doing this for many tables so it should not be too processor intensive

have another dummy internal table field with single character length which maps to each of this values and have the values of that field as

A- ML

B-MR

C-L

D-R

E- Space.

Sort this table according to that field.

Regards,

Ravi
