I've solved this by using xdmp:eval and building the xquery order string through a function.
Do you need an example ? ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 04:04:45 +0000 From: "Kapoor, Pragya" <pkapo...@innodata.com> Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Dynamic order by To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <general@developer.marklogic.com> Message-ID: <1430798685003.81...@innodata.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Could someone help on this? ________________________________ From: Kapoor, Pragya Sent: Monday, May 4, 2015 5:03 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Dynamic order by Thanks Asit. But I have different requirement. In your code : return if($sorting/sorting/sort) then for $each in $results//results/result order by $each/AgreementType descending , $each/CollectionNo ascending return $each (: modify as per your business requirement :) else $results In the order by clause you are using $each/AgreementType, but as mentioned in the mail the element AgreementType is not static. This value is dynamic moreover sort direction(asc/desc) is also dynamic. ?Thanks Pragya ________________________________ From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com <general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com> on behalf of Asitmohan Nautiyal <asitmoha...@hcl.com> Sent: Monday, May 4, 2015 4:40 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Dynamic order by Hi Pragya, try below sample code let $sorting :=<a> <sorting> <columnAlias>Currency</columnAlias> </sorting> <sorting> <sort>desc</sort> <columnAlias>AgreementType</columnAlias> </sorting> <sorting> <sort>asc</sort> <columnAlias>CollectionNo</columnAlias> </sorting></a> let $results := <report> <columns> <title>Currency</title> <title>AgreementType</title> <title>CollectionNo</title> </columns> <results> <result> <Currency>US dollar</Currency> <AgreementType>abc</AgreementType> <CollectionNo>0000050</CollectionNo> </result> <result> <Currency>Pound sterling</Currency> <AgreementType>xyz</AgreementType> <CollectionNo>0000048</CollectionNo> </result> <result> <Currency>Euro</Currency> <AgreementType>ebf</AgreementType> <CollectionNo>0000049</CollectionNo> </result> </results> </report> return if($sorting/sorting/sort) then for $each in $results//results/result order by $each/AgreementType descending , $each/CollectionNo ascending return $each (: modify as per your business requirement :) else $results Regards, Asit Nautiyal ________________________________ From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com [general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com] on behalf of Kapoor, Pragya [pkapo...@innodata.com] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2015 3:21 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Dynamic order by Hi, I need to sort the $results based on element columnAlias in $sorting. for eg : In the below scenario, I want to first sort the $results with AgreementType(desc) and then with CollectionNo(asc).If there is not <sort> element in $sorting/sorting then do not use that element <columnAlias> for sorting. Moreover the elements in $sorting & $results will be dynamic and not fixed. let $sorting :=<a> <sorting> <columnAlias>Currency</columnAlias> </sorting> <sorting> <sort>desc</sort> <columnAlias>AgreementType</columnAlias> </sorting> <sorting> <sort>asc</sort> <columnAlias>CollectionNo</columnAlias> </sorting></a> let $results := <report> <columns> <title>Currency</title> <title>AgreementType</title> <title>CollectionNo</title> </columns> <results> <result> <Currency>US dollar</Currency> <AgreementType>abc</AgreementType> <CollectionNo>0000050</CollectionNo> </result> <result> <Currency>Pound sterling</Currency> <AgreementType>xyz</AgreementType> <CollectionNo>0000048</CollectionNo> </result> <result> <Currency>Euro</Currency> <AgreementType>ebf</AgreementType> <CollectionNo>0000049</CollectionNo> </result> </results> </report> Thanks Pragya ?
