Date Sort

Hello,

I have a straight table in which i need to sort the date column but it does not work. I have already tried all possible settings in properties/sort. I can only sort the other columns.

Please find enclosed a screenshot of the table.

Thanks in advance

I think you can do this by clicking in properties/classify and make your date column the first inr priority rank.

Unfortunately, this screenshot isn't at all helpful in looking into your problem. You may want to include a sample QVW (with scrambled data if necessary).

Make sure that the date field is on top of the sort list and only select numeric value.

Yes I agree with BERTDOOMEN,

I faced a similar situation, and all you need to do is make sure you promote your date field to the top of the sort list and then you can do ascending/descending of the numeric value.

Hi,

Thanks

But, it's not possible to realise a sort on the date field.

For information, i have QlikView for Windows, Version 10.00.9055.7 SR3

Hi Nicolas,

I am afraid I haven't understand quite well what you are trying to explain.

Does the problem still persists? Could you please elaborate?

Hi Nicolas,

What do you mean by "it's not possible to realise a sort on the date field."??

I tried bikashdebnath solution and the date sort is working.

If you want to have an interactive sort you have to check the box in the sort tab. like this you could sort in both way.

hope that will help you.

regards,

Arnaud
