similar to this: Table Numeric Sort Order
Sorting has been working fine, I just want to refine the sort on a column that is storing a numeric sequence in a text field.
I don’t want to lose functionality of sorting any of the columns with the Bootstrap 5 table. Currently there are 9 sortable columns and I only need this to affect 1 of those cols.
So, if this is even possible, how will I setup the Custom Query to use
"order by abs(regnum) " + the $dir param, for just this one column sort,
and order defined by $sort / $dir for the other columns?
What I tried was modifying the code on the on-click of the column header.
and then ultimately this:
But the framework still didn’t seem to like this. This would be the easiest fix.
This changes the URL to this
and this
There IS a request to the server, but the data comes back in the same order each time I click on this special column.
I looked on my localhost log and see this:
I think what I want to see is in this params field, but am not sure.
So I check my SqlProfiler. I see the SQL statement, but no ORDER BY:
exec sp_executesql @statement=N'select event
RegNum, concoursclass, concoursjudged, vehtype, vehcondition, vehprep,
dispby, veh_images, image1, vehslug, eventcode
from REGVEH
inner join ENTRY2 on ENTRY2.RegNum = RegNum
where (ENTRY2.eventcode = @p0)',@params=N'@p0 nvarchar(2)',@p0=N'HR'
This lines up perfectly with the localhost log.
But I think the funky $sort string messes up the framework so it doesn’t add anything to the server request. Which confirms why the table doesn’t change because the exact same response comes back since no ORDER BY is being sent.
