Manually sort Straight Table columns by single click

Hi all,

By default the users can double click a straight table column to sort it. Because double click in our environment is captured and handled differently, is it possible to allow the user to single click the column to sort it?

Many thanks,

Shrimp

Hi,

QlikView will work with the operating system settings, and you can only set QlikView to Allow Interactive Sort in the chart properties, Sort tab.

Nevertheless, you can create a button that triggers an action to run a macro to sort it according to your needs, but it will a different object than the chart.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick response. I was also guessing that sort by single click is not an option.

Hi,

Definitely, it isn't something you can customize in QlikView. But if your operating system (read web server, sharepoint or the way you are deploying your documents) allows you to customize mouse clicks, then you could map a single click as a double click in a chart. But if you do a single click on any other object and it's translated to a double click, results may be unexpected.

Regards,

Miguel

Is there a way where we can read the column name on which the table is sorted and its order ?
