Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to create a BIRT report,
such that the user can click on the column headings and have the report
sort itself by that column.
I know one way to fake this would be to create multiple version of the
report, where each version is sorted by a different column, and thus when
clicking the column name are brought to a different report that is sorted
by the correct column. However, is there a way to do this without having
to fake it?
Thanks,
Neesha

it's possible to 'fake it' with just one rptdesign file. It still requires
a new query (assuming your using a sql data source) each time you want to
sort. add a parameter to the report, call it sort or something. if you
script your query, you can change the 'order by' clause based on the
parameter. you could format this parameter to handle sort direction (or add
a direction parameter) I think this is easier than building 20 different
reports. Alternatively you could use the sorting feature found in the table
property editor. you can add multiple sort keys and directions, just base
them on the sort/direction parameters (if (params["sort"].equals("name")
row["name"];) and it is possible to link to the same report from the column
headers, changing these params accordingly.
hope this helps
