Order of items in DropDownByKey

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I found the DropDownByKey will sort the order or items by its key, but I don't want such an order. How to do this?

The items are loaded to the DropDownByKey by:

IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueSet = matGrpType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

valueSet.put(key1, value1);

valueSet.put(key2, value2);...

How the set the order of the items by the order which is added by the previous way?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I dint find that the item is not sorted.

I tried the code and seen the output,its coming the way i have inserted.

ISimpleTypeModifiable myType=wdThis.wdGetAPI().getContext().getModifiableTypeOf("ddkval");

IModifiableSimpleValueSet val=myType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

val.put("3","ddd");

val.put("1","aaa");

val.put("5","bbb");

val.put("2","ccc");

Hi yang,

To avoid getting items sorted, you can always set the desired values by varying the 'key' order.

Hi srinivasan:

Thanks for you tip, however the key/text is got from BAPI and can't be changed manually.

Thanks,

Xiaoming,

Could you post complete code?

Namely, how variable "matGrpType" is obtained?

Because actually (as noted) in modifiable set items are shown in insertion order...
