Cannot change column order in a flat table

[paolo_mapelli]

Hi,

     as wrote in subject, changing order of columns in QS 1.1 flat table is not working when the number of included columns exceedes the number of showable one, plus 1

You can move columns in design mode but, after moving, "save" button doesn't light up and the moved column doesn't shows in its new position (column order in table differs from order in right panel). Moreover, when you exit and then re-enter into design mode, column order reverts back to original.

Is it a known bug ?

Thanks in advance.

Paolo.

i have not seen this.

can you share a QVF that shows the problem with a few steps to reproduce ?

Hi Jonathan

I have the same issue and I have a demo qvf which illustrates the issue. How do I upload it to the thread?

I have also had issues where I have added a column to a table, successfully repositioned the column, only to find that the column remains as the last column of the Excel export. Have you come across that one?

I haven't been able to reproduce it in my demo qvf (as yet), but if you've not seen that one, maybe you could take a quick look at the export code whilst looking into the current column-ordering issue (when i can upload it to you) ...?

Thanks

Jeremy

Thanks Michael

Try moving Field1 to Column 1.

For me, it does not work using

v. 1.1.0+Build31.QSMS10-CIGS

Hi Jeremy, I see the problem in 1.1

See attached video clip - I assume you mean in design mode? I can move the column in view mode.

I will report this bug

That's correct. It's design-mode that's the big problem.

But ...

If you move the column in view mode, and then export, it doesn't alter the column position in the XLS. Maybe it's not intended to ... Would be nice though.
