hmmm, after implementing it and looking to your mail again, this is not what the outcome should be :-(
This code does the same thing as
    Sort vData with item 3 of each
    Sort vData with item 4 of each
The result first shows the lines without any groups, followed by the lines containing groups.

When I use your code (or mine) all lines without groups are put at the bottom of the list, not between the grouped items...

so making it even simpler:
Nr    group    date
1     A            October
2     A            November
3                    September
4     B            August
5     B            July
6     C            July
7     C            August
8                    January
Should become
Nr    group    date
8                    January
5     B            July
4     B            August
6     C            July
7     C            August
3                    September
1     A            October
2     A            November

So first the date within the group, and then the other items with the first date in the group as a key...

hmmmm, is this clear what I need?

Thanks,

Ton

Something like this, in transcript?


repeat for each line L in vData
-- split the data into an array using the group as keys (no group lines go into groupZ)
    if item 3 of L is not empty then
      put L & cr after groupArray[item 3 of L]
    else
      put L & cr after groupArray[groupZ]
    end if
  end repeat
  put the keys of groupArray into kList
  sort lines of kList
  repeat for each line L in kList
    sort lines of groupArray[L] numeric by item 4 of each
    put groupArray[L] & cr after theSortedList
  end repeat

filter theSortedList without empty -- strip any empty lines from trailing crs

gives you:

1,text 1,group1,20050104
2,text 2,group1,20050104
8,text 8,group1,20050104
5,text 5,group2,20050104
3,text 3,group2,20051004
10,text 10,group3,20050104
4,text 4,group3,20051004
7,text 7,,20050104
6,text 6,,20050204
9,text 9,,20050204

(I inserted commas as the itemDelimiter into the original data)

Is this the order you wantd?

Hi gang,

I am out of inspiration, somebody please help me...

I've got a listbox containing a list of data:
ID    Description    Group    Date
1     text 1         group1   20050104
2     text 2         group1   20050104
3     text 3         group2   20051004
4     text 4         group3   20051004
5     text 5         group2   20050104
6     text 6                  20050204
7     text 7                  20050104
8     text 8         group1   20050104
9     text 9                  20050204
10    text 10        group3   20050104

The date column is in fact the result of the seconds-function.
The data is the result of a SQL query to mySQL

I need to sort the list on date, without splitting the groups and thats where I'm out of luck:
When I use
    Sort vData with item 4 of each
    Sort vData with item 3 of each
the groups are divided, when I use
    Sort vData with item 3 of each
    Sort vData with item 4 of each
the result first shows the lines without any groups, followed by the lines containing groups.

How do I display these lines in the correct order without splitting the groups? The dates within a group could differ (but not likely) but in that case the first first date should be the line to sort.

Anybody any suggestions for using a kinky SQL statement or how to setup a sort in RR?

Regards & many thanks in advance,

Ton Kuypers
