Sorting Child Nodes

Eric Rupp posted over 16 years ago

I am looking for a way to sort only certain Child nodes.

Example Tree: The top level categories should be manually sorted while the items should be in alpha order.

Most Common Items

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Less Common Items

Item 4
Item 5
Item 6

Other Items

Item 7

I originally set the .Override.Sort property to the category nodes to Ascending but that didn't appear to have any effect. I have also tried to use columnsets but even with manually clicking on the column headers sorting never changed. The direction arrow flipped but the data never moved. I am using 2007 vol 3.

I think Frans is thinking of UltraWinGrid. UltraWinTree doesn't have "bands".
The solution to your problem is to use a different Override. The Override on the tree control affects all the nodes in the tree. But there are also Overrides on the Nodes collection. So what you would do is set the Sort property on the nodes collection of each parent node instead of on the tree's override.

Franz thanks for the speedy response. Sorry to say that I am confused by your answer.

You mentioned "setting the override.sort for the band to alphanumeric" How is that accomplished? I could not find a BAND property. Also when setting the Sort property the choices I can see are Ascending, Descending, None, and Default. Did you mean Ascending?

Thanks in advance,

Eric

Hello hydroeric,

You may be able to do this by setting the override.sort for the band to alphanumeric
then overriding each of the root level nodes with the sort for the common
property.

Alternatively, set override.sort for the band to alphanumeric and manually
quicksort the top-level items using node.reposition.

Cheers,
Frans Henskens
