Hi guys,

I have 3 tables, first one with different instruments, second one with different sets and the last one with the 2 primary keys (many-to-many). So a set can contain multiple instruments and an instrument can be in multiple sets.

Now I want to sort the gallery "topInstruments" by the most listed instruments - instruments used multiple times in sets should be displayed first in the gallery, the ones used only once should be displayed at the bottom of the gallery.

Does anybody know how the sort should look like?

Thanks

I would use this code in the Items property of your Gallery. Better instructions could be given if you supply a sample of each data table

Sort( ForAll( your_instruments_datasource, { Instrument: instrument_field_name, InstrumentCount: CountRows(Filter(your_m2m_datasource, InstrumentID = your_instrument_datasource[@InstrumentID]) }), InstrumentCount )

Thanks @mdevaney. Last thing to mention is that I had to add descending at the end. Everything else works fine. Thank you!

Hi @mdevaney , I've got another problem to solve.

I now additionally have the column "amount" in my many-to-many table. So now it is not just based on how many sets contain the instrument, but also how many times the instrument is in the set. so basically I want to know the total amount of the instruments in sets - here is an example:

InstrumentID SetID Amount
Instrument_A Set_B 1
Instrument_B Set_B 2
Instrument_A Set_A 3
Instrument_C Set_C 4
Instrument_A Set_C 2

So the Instrument_A should be listed at first with a total amount of 6, Instrument_C second with amount of 4 and Instrument_B third with amount of 2.

You think you can solve this?

Thank you very much!
