Hi,

one observation..

Do one thing just comment 2...7 fields in ur itab ..

and sort only 1 and 8 field ..

sort itab by 1(field).

now check the o/p ..

if it's correct as per ur expectations then some of the field from 2..7 is affecting the sort criteria..

im guessing this cause i dont know ur fields or itab structure .

regards,

Vijay

Satish,

SORT ITAB BY field1 field8.

The above should work...when you say it is not working can you describe the problem(with values) ?

Satish,

sort ascending should work in this situation.

have a look at following code for some idea.

DATA: BEGIN OF t_t OCCURS 0,

v1(2) type n,

v2(2) type n,

v3(2) type n,

END OF t_t.

start-of-selection.

t_t-v1 = 10.

t_t-v2 = 10.

t_t-v3 = 10.

append t_t.

clear t_t.

t_t-v1 = 20.

t_t-v2 = 10.

t_t-v3 = 10.

append t_t.

clear t_t.

t_t-v1 = 30.

t_t-v2 = 20.

t_t-v3 = 10.

append t_t.

clear t_t.

t_t-v1 = 30.

t_t-v2 = 10.

t_t-v3 = 20.

append t_t.

clear t_t.

sort t_t ascending by v1 v3.

loop at t_t.

write:/ t_t-v1, space, t_t-v2, space, t_t-v3.

endloop.
