SORT butttons on custom screen for custom fields

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a dedveloped a custom screen in which there are 5-6 fields.Nowi need to put Sort buttons below these fields so that I can sort these fields.

How do i do this???Is there std FM i can use to achieve the sort functionality?

No standard FM that I know of, but it's pretty easy to cody yourself:

Loop at your_table_contro-columns to find the selected column. If you allow more than one column to be selected, make sure only on is in this case.

Do a dynamic sort on the internal table using the name of the column. You will have to use the correct offset to do this.

Hi

Use the function module to sort the table CNSG_SORT_TABLE, pass the parameters as you like, but limitation is only one field you can pass for sort order. There is anothier field for "General Order", using that you can sort up to 2 fields.

Please let me know if any questions.

Thanks
