Sorting in a concatenation.

Hi Folks,

Is it possible to sort before concatenating a text field to show in a text box?

Now, it is getting concatenated in an alphabetical order.

Hello Rocky,

You can do the following

Concat(Field, ',', DateField)


to sort by DateField or any other numeric sort field you have.

Hope that helps

Hello,

Create a field in load time with

RowNo() AS LoadOrder


And use it with the Concat function above.
