Sorting chars in a string.

[#1]

Hi guys,

I´m trying to find a solution to do a sort inside the string, but I´m newbie in Qlik and I don´t know how to solve this problem.

I´m using Qlikview 12 Personal Edition.

Example: Imagine a table, where exist a field called "Name". Now, I want to create an expression that take every string in the "Name" field and do a sort in it as "Name_Sorted". Please, look at the table below.

Name	Name_Sorted
josep	ejops
john	hjno
maria	aaimr
fedcba	abcdef

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thank you and sorry for my english.

Maybe

LOAD RecId, Concat(Char) as Sorted,

  Name

GROUP BY RecId,Name;

LOAD Mid(Name,iterno(),1) as Char,

  Iterno() as Index,

  Recno() as RecId,

  Name

WHILE iterno() <= Len(Name);

LOAD Name

FROM

(html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @1);
