QlikView sorts the values ​​not in the correct alphabetical sequence

QlikView sorts the values ​​on the x - axis not in the correct alphabetical sequence. (in chart diagram)
In the sort setting, I have selected only alphabetical order A-Z.
This is the order what I expect:

SG57 Prikuss

SG5810 Bankenportal

SG98 Edm

This is, how qlikview sort the values:

SG57 Prikuss

SG98 Edm

SG5810 Bankenportal

Why ? Any Workaround ?

Thanks.

Would you be able to share a sample where it is not working? You can use a sort expression like this, but I would still think that Text sorting should work

Match(FieldName, 'SG57 Prikuss', 'SG98 Edm', 'SG5810 Bankenportal')

Kushal_Chawda

try sort expression instead alphabetical sorting

=match(Field,

'SG57 Prikuss' ,

'SG5810 Bankenportal',

'SG98 Edm')

Hi,

one solution could be to use your fieldname as sorting expression:

What happens if you are using a load order that is not well sorted, Marco ?

Good one.

Guess I should have read the linked threads myself.

thanks

MarcoWedel

very good

and interesting too

just was about to post this when I read your answer ...

At first I tried with some conversion to concatenated ASCII codes

when I noticed that Rank descending would be sufficient.

thanks
