sortState Property

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have been trying to use the sortState property to get the Table to come up pre-sorted based on a given column.

In the View controller I have set the property of the given table field to 'Down'.

But this doesnot seem to do anything ?

Is this not working or did I miss something ??

The "sortState" property is only used to store the current sort state of a table column in the view controller context.

To sort a table column, you have to call the IWDNode.sortElements(Comparator) method on the data source node.

Hi Armin

Thanks for your response, we have use the sortState in the view controller context. Should the table then appear sorted in the relavant view . In our case, that isnt happening.

Any further thoughts, we are planning to try out approach number 2.

Please read my answer again.

You have to do both, bind the sortState property to a context attribute and call the sortElements(Comparator) method.

Binding the sortState alone does not sort the table.

Hi Armin,

I have a requirement in which One of the TableColumn is sortable and records are getting sorted also.

But upon selection of another dropdown present in the same UI I have to make this column un-sortable.

For this I am using:

 

column.setSortState(WDTableColumnSortDirection.NOT_SORTABLE);

But this does not have any impact.

I am trying this in nw730 codeline.
