Hi.

I'm using formbuilder 9.0.1. I've a table TB1 with fields id, text and department (this one with values H, S and T). I have a form in which I want to show all the messages ordered by the department, but 'S' ones shown first.
How can I do it? on palette property?

Thnks

That is not logical.

But can be done. You want order in rows to show but the order rules are of your own. For that I think you should add an other column lets say My_Order number. And here give the order number for your department. And in the query add this column in your order by clause

'S' ones have to be shown first because they are prioritary ones

Put something like this into the ORDER BY block property:

order by decode(department, 'S', 1, 'H', 2, 'T', 3)

Dear friend I don't think that this will help in sorting data.

Have you checked it?

Why wouldn't it work? It's the standard solution to this problem
