change column order in screen of sm30

[former_member186143]

I have a table with 2 keyfields and their corresponding description fields

I have to keep the keyfields at the top of the table so the description fields come later

I have

key1

key2

description key 1

description key 2

when I generate a screen with sm30 I get the fields in the same order as how I defined the table

How can I change the column order of the table after it is generated ? the column order is protected and also in the layout editor I may not shift the columns ?

perhaps very simple but I can't figure it out and also couldn't find it here on sdn

kind regards

Hi,

Define a maintenance view for your table as described here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21ed2d446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm.

When defining the fields you should be abl to put the fields into the order of your choice.

Hello Arthur,

It can be done in the layout editor.

Please swap the column by selecting and moving the required column. Just select the cell of the column which you want to move (not the header cell where the column header is given, please select the item cell (for instance, the second cell)) and move it to the needed location.

Hope, it should work. Kindly let me know if any issues.

As far as I know you can change order of fields, but all key field should be first, all together with no other fields in middle of them.

Then you can't define this order:

key1

description key 1

key2

description key 2

Because KEY1 and KEY2 should be together.

thanks, afterwards it is logical but with normal alv layouts you are so used to drag and drop the columnnames instead of the cells that it even didn't occur to me to try it.

also I figured out the defining ot the maintenance view. I had tried it a few years ago but I don't know where I got stuck in using it. but know it works

kind regards
