Sort Column on the Fly (Urgent, please help!!) [message #118237]

Is there any way to build the sorting mechanism on the fly using the
expression builder or pass the order by parameter to the dataset? For
example, I have mutiple columns and I need to sort each column by clicking
on the column header. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've done sorting based off of a parameter.

Create a 'paramSortField' parameter, and a 'paramSortDir'.

In the 'beforeOpen' event of your dataset, do something like:

if (params["paramSortField"] != null)
{

this.queryText += " order by " + params["paramSortField"] + " " +
params["paramSortDir"];

}

else

{

this.queryText += " order by our_reference asc";

}

Now, you can pass in your sort field and direction. I would also like to
do hyper-links on column headers...maybe someday soon.
