how to set sortstrength in sortcondition programmatically? [message #1064531]

Hi,

Im trying to sort my report table programmatically in the "onPrepare" script, but im not able to set the sortstrength to Primary:

The code under works, but i want to also set the sort strength to "Primary". If i set the sortCondition.setStrength("Primary"); or sortCondition.setStrength(0); it fails.

importPackage (Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.simpleapi);
var sortCondition = SimpleElementFactory.getInstance().createSortCondition();
sortCondition.setKey("row[\"Lastname\"]");
sortCondition.setDirection("desc"); 
this.addSortCondition(sortCondition);

Thanks in advance Smile

Hi,

didnt get an reply. But wondering if there is an online api doc, that specifies the report api ? something like javadocs for the class sortCondition ?

Yes, i found a solution, i put this in the tables onprepare:

importPackage (Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.elements.structures );
importPackage (Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api );

var sk = StructureFactory.createSortKey();
sk.setKey("row[\"mycolumn\"]");
sk.setDirection("asc");
sk.setStrength(1);

table = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("mytable");
var ph = table.getPropertyHandle(TableHandle.SORT_PROP);
ph.addItem(sk);

i found the programmers reference here:

Sorry for your not getting a response. I've been out of the forums due to preparing for the 4.3 release and the new BIRT Exchange community site update. Glad you found a solution! Smile
