       wa like line of itab.

 select * from zdepdet into table itab.
   delete adjacent duplicates from itab comparing dept.


   wa-dept = '--Select--'.
*  wa-ename = 0.
   append wa to itab.
     sort itab ascending by empid.

loop at itab into wa.
  ls_dept-empid = wa-empid.
  ls_dept-dept = wa-dept.
  append ls_dept to lt_dept.
endloop.

*** bind all the elements
  node->bind_table(
    new_items            =  lt_dept
    set_initial_elements = abap_true ).

Hi,

If I am not wrong, you are using DropDownByKey UI element to display drop down list, and binding the table of type 'wdr_context_attr_value_list' to the context attribute. Try to Sort the table by 'TEXT' and then bind it to the attribute. I hope this will help.

Hi,

While filling the context node bound to drop down node, you have to take care of sorting the data and then binding it.
