HTMLB - Sort a Dropdownlist

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have this piece of codes in my Java iViews :

<hbj:dropdownListBox id="SUPERIOR_ID_NEW">

<% for (int i = 1; i <= ISR.getAdditionalDataLength("SUPERIOR_KEY"); i++) { %>

<hbj:listBoxItem key='<%= ISR.getAdditionalData("SUPERIOR_KEY",i) %>'

value='<%= ISR.getAdditionalData("SUPERIOR_LABEL",i) %>'

selected='<%= ISR.getSelected("SUPERIOR_ID_NEW","SUPERIOR_KEY",i) %>'

/>

<% } %>

</hbj:dropdownListBox>

It is showing a list of username in a drop down list.

Can I sort this HTMLB dropdownlist?

How do you do it? I have searched the HTMLB documentation but it does not tells you how to sort the list items in a drop down list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Try adding the values in ISR into Vector object. Sort the vector using Collections.sort() method. Add the sorted values in vector into the dropdownlistbox.

Hope this helps.
