Hi @AshwinS2

Ascending boss

Thanks

I meant to arrange it by the order of the table in the second picture. I don’t need it in an ascending or descending order. Is there a way I can arrange the table that way?

6

Is there any criteria on what you are deciding which row come first?

Hi @RailCay

Use Sort Datatable activity

Thanks

@MuralidharVankamaddi, there is no criteria. I want to follow the format of the rows everytime I extract the datatable

@AshwinS2, I appreciate that option but it can only arrange the datatable in ascending or descending order. I would like to find a way it will follow the row order of the second table

Hi @RailCay

Yes it can be done by mentioning all the columns and then use asc

Dv.Sort= " Document number Line item UOM status start date asc"

Thanks

@RailCay I feel that the Sorted order is Sorted in Ascending order of the ‘start Date’ Column, Can you Check the Datatable after Sorting it like this :
Dv.Sort = “[start Date] asc”

As per screenshots provided, it is sorted by Document number. So using sort option wrt to document number will solve your requirement.

May I know where is that second datatable is obtained
@RailCay

Hi @Palaniyappan, both tables are obtained from an .xlsx file

15

@supermanPunch the datable would only arrange in ascending start date order

16

@karthick there are some instances where the Document number would be separated from each other

Arranging the datatable needs some basic criteria of sorting or logic.
