Editable fields in ALV with sort

[Former Member]

I have a working alv using sort to remove repeated values, but when I add gt_fieldcat-edit = 'X' to a column, it shows all the values (sort stops working).

Is it possible to have both things? Sort and editable field?

When you sort, it doesn't not show repeated values, rather it merges cells with the same key component. With an editable ALV this isn't possible, so you get each cell displayed individually.

It makes sense on the editable column, but why having an editable column makes the rest of columns un-sortable with the merge thing?

You'd have to ask the guy who developed it.

I found a thread with the same problem, it seems that it's not possible according to SAP.
