sort order in pivot table

[bumin]

Hi,

I have a problem with the sort order in a pivot table.

I want to have the same  sort order as in the original data.

When I look to the column H4 within column H3='liab' H4 is not sorted like the original data. When I select H3='liab' the the sort order is correct.

What I am doing wrong?

see original data in Excel and the appropriate qvw.

thanks for any help

Hi. Remove all sorting from the pivot and you will end up with the same soring as in excel. See attached. //Robert

Hi,

     Use the Sort by load order for all the columns.It will provide you same as the original load order.

Hi Robert,

the sort oder is nok ok in your example

When you look into

H1=bs

H2=eqLiab

H3=liab

the column H4 has wrong sort order

Hi,

this is what I thougt also. but it is not the case.

H4=other occurs several times. Is this the problem?

I managed to find the rigth sort order.

The problem was that the text "other" exists several times in different H3-Fileds

h3=prepaid expences H4=other

h3=accruals H4=other

h3=liab H4=other

etc...

in the script I have combined the fields H3 and H4 into H4

  H3&'_'&H4 as H4

and the sort order is now OK.

In my diagram I have removed the digits until the first  "_" to show only the original H4 value.

My solution is a little bit tricky.  Is there any better more straigth away solution for that kind of data?

thanks and regards
