About Sort Dialog

Hi all,

controller.sortDialog( [sortString])

The Sort Dialog will show all the fields and the orders(asc/desc) to sort the records accordingly. I want to disable/hide some of the fields. How can I’ll be able to do that?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t think it’s possible to hide fields from the sort dialog.

That’s what I thought the “exluded” flag property option for the column was for (in the “details” tab for the table).
I already asked if it was used for the export dialog. It is not. Neither is it for the sort dialog.

This flag is in fact used to tell Servoy to ignore the field TOTALLY, meaning you can’t even use it for your relations ! - even if it still shows in developer. I think this is wrong and I opened a case (#19946) in the support system.

Tagging a field as “excluded” should exclude it from the Sort and Export wizards but not from the relations. And then our problem would be solved!

Or at least, adding a “hide” flag for this purpose would do the trick…

I invite you to open a case in the support system to take this need into consideration :
