Hi,

if your field is no datefield you have to use:

Date(Makedate(Left(Field,4),Right(Field,2),1),'MMM-YY')

otherwise you can directly enter: Date(Field,'MMM-YY')

Thanks for the quick reply

Date(Makedate(Left(Field,4),Right(Field,2),1),'MMM-YY') this condition works for me.

it's giving the correct result that what i want but records are not in order.

how can i sort this list box????

Hi Mahesh,

Did you tried the Sort-> Expression by adding this expression ?

Hi Srinivasan,

I tried with Expression sorting but no luck.

But i just checked numeric value sorting and its works fine.

Hi,

I think you can try use monthname() function by edit the field name of date.

Like monthname(OrderDate)

Hi,

using expressions in List- or Multiboxes can not be sorted! (info from QT-Support). Thats why you have to put the expression in the script and show in the listbox allways only the field, then you can change sortorder and/or number format settings.

for the last 6 month you can create an extra calender with Month(Today())-6 to Month(Today())!
