Hi,

you can use a function =dual('D',1) and so on for others in the script.

Hi qliekview.

You can create a table with the sort order you want, and join it to your data model.

Then have the object (list box, table, multi box etc.) sort on the field SortOrder

YourTableWithRealValues:

LOAD

FieldXX;

LEFT JOIN (YourTableWithRealValues)

LOAD * INLINE [

    FieldXX, SortOrder_FieldXX

    D, 1

    A, 2

    C, 3

    B, 4

    Z, 5

];

Kind regards

Hi Magnus,

I am new to qlikview and right now I am using the free personal edition to see what this system can do.

I have the same question as the original poster.

I do not know where to place the code you wrote above. Can you provide the detail steps on how to use it?

Thanks
