Sorting, Grouping columns in Editable ALV

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In a normal (display) ALV, when we select a column and click the sort button on the toolbar, it also groups the data in that column, i.e similar data doesn't showup repeatedly. Whereas in an ALV where we have a few fields editable, the grouping functionality does not work. Sorting does sort the columns but repeats the data as well.

I tried making the GROUP field as 'X' in the structure of type lvc_s_sort in coding. But it simply doesn't seems to work with the editable ALV.

Is it a limitation of the ALV, or is there a way to get this working?

when you are working with editable fields Group functionlaity will fail. In case of editable fields there is no solution. But if it is the case of Checkbox we can manage that and will be able to show the Group.

Ok... as it's not possible. Left it alone!
