Hi

I think you uploaded date field as your output format. If it is in ddmmyyyy format, when you sort it, automatically it will sort. Check your input entries.

Otherwise, what you had written is correct.

check your code

Is your edatu field TYPE CHAR10 or sy-datum.

It has to be type sy-datum to be sorted properly.

Change your SORT statement as below

sort it_final by edatu ASCENDING vbeln ASCENDING.

hi vinoth,

if u make the format of the field edatu as YYYYMMDD and den put the sorting conditon on it.. then it will sort correctly.. rest vbeln is not a problem. beacuse if u have more than one similar date entry u have to sort it thru vbeln too..

so just try changing format..
