Hi

<b>Setting Sort Conditions</b>

It is possible to set sort conditions for the table data. This is achieved by filling an internal table of structure “LVC_T_SORT” which consists of the sort criteria. To have an initial sorting, pass it to the parameter “IT_SORT” of the method “set_table_for_first_display”.

FORM prepare_sort_table CHANGING pt_sort TYPE lvc_t_sort .
 DATA ls_sort TYPE lvc_s_sort .
ls_sort-spos = '1' .
ls_sort-fieldname = 'CARRID' .
ls_sort-up = 'X' . "A to Z
ls_sort-down = space .
APPEND ls_sort TO pt_sort .
ls_sort-spos = '2' .
ls_sort-fieldname = 'SEATSOCC' .
ls_sort-up = space .
ls_sort-down = 'X' . "Z to A
APPEND ls_sort TO pt_sort .
ENDFORM. " prepare_sort_table

<b>Preparing the table for sorting settings</b>

We have two important points to tell about this topic. First one is that, be ready for a short dump if any one of the fields given to be sorted is not in the content of the field catalog. Secondly, when you make ALV Grid to sort data, by default it vertically merges fields having the same content. To avoid from this for all of the columns, you can set “no_merging” field of the layout structure to ‘X’. If you want to disable merging for just some columns, set “no_merging” field of the field catalog row corresponding to that column.

You can get and set sort criteria applied whenever you want by using methods “get_sort_criteria” and “set_sort_criteria”, respectively.

<b>

Sort Using FACTORY CLASSES</b>

<b>Sorts – CL_SALV_SORTS</b>

we can add some sorting to the ALV grid. Create the object reference variable and receive the object using the GET_SORTS method of the GR_TABLE object. Next, add the sort by calling the ADD_SORT method of the GR_SORTS object.

 gr_display = gr_table->get_display_settings( ). gr_display->set_striped_pattern( cl_salv_display_settings=>true ). gr_display->set_list_header( 'This is the heading' ). gr_columns = gr_table->get_columns( ). 
gr_column ?= gr_columns->get_column( 'CITYTO' ). gr_column->set_long_text( 'This is long text' ). gr_column->set_medium_text( 'This is med text' ). gr_column->set_short_text( 'This is sh' ).
 gr_column ?= gr_columns->get_column( 'CITYFROM' ). color-col = '6'.
 color-int = '1'. 
color-inv = '0'.
 gr_column->set_color( color ). 
gr_sorts = gr_table->get_sorts( ). 
gr_sorts->add_sort 'CITYTO' ). 
gr_table->display( ).

Hi

u can sort the records after display output in alv.

or check this extra stmts one

SORT TYPE slis_t_sortinfo_alv WITH HEADER LINE,

FORM FILL_SORT .

SORT-DOWN = 'X'.

SORT-SPOS = 1.

SORT-FIELDNAME = 'MATNR'.

SORT-tabname = 'MARA'.

APPEND SORT.

ENDFORM. " FILL_SORT

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

EXPORTING

IT_SORT = SORT[]

reward points to all helpful answers

Hi,

We will specify the sort criteria information while appending into one internal table and the same internal tabel will be used in the ALV FM.

Hi,

When u use <b>REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY</b> function module, u can an option in importing parameter as <b>it_sort = it_sort, in this u mark it as 'X'</b> in ur coding. U will get the records in sorted order.

Reward points if found useful.

DATA: isort TYPE slis_t_sortinfo_alv,

isort1 TYPE slis_sortinfo_alv.

PERFORM sort_data_fcat.

FORM sort_data_fcat .

CLEAR isort1.

isort1-spos = '1'.

isort1-fieldname = 'WERKS'.

isort1-up = 'X'.

• isort1-subtot = 'X'.

APPEND isort1 TO isort.

CLEAR isort1.

isort1-spos = '2'.

isort1-fieldname = 'TAXM1'.

• isort1-fieldname = 'TAXKM'.

isort1-up = 'X'.

isort1-subtot = 'X'.

APPEND isort1 TO isort.

ENDFORM. " sort_data_fcat

......

FORM z_reuse_alv_grid_display .

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

EXPORTING

• I_INTERFACE_CHECK = ' '

• I_BYPASSING_BUFFER = ' '

• I_BUFFER_ACTIVE = ' '

i_callback_program = sy-repid

• I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET = ' '

.......

........

it_fieldcat = fcat[]

• IT_EXCLUDING =

• IT_SPECIAL_GROUPS =

it_sort = <b>isort</b>

• IT_FILTER =

• IS_SEL_HIDE =

......

.......

i think this will help u.
