Ordered fractions in entity view

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hey,

I'm using Canvas app.

I made a dropdown that holds inch fractions:

["0","1/16","1/8","3/16","1/4","5/16","3/8","7/16","1/2","9/16","5/8","11/16","3/4","13/16","7/8","15/16"]

But, in the second thought, maybe shall I make an entity with those fractions.

But, after I made the entity I tried to make a view with ordered fractions.

I did sorting & filtering but still, they are not in order.

I saw that there default views, I would like to know what they are for?

    I suggest you a corresponding colum to sort for instance an ID column.

     

    If you don't have an ID Column create one 1,2,3,4.....

     

    Then use the ID to sort.

    Yes you can add to the Table. Or better still create a collection Onvisible of the screen or OnStart of the App example;

     

    ClearCollect (MyFractionsTb, { Fraction: "0", ID: 1}, { Fraction: "1/16", ID: 2 },
    { Fraction: "1/8", ID: 3}, { Fraction: "3/16", ID: 4 } ) 

     

    Then on the dropdown items;

    Sort(MyFractionsTb,ID, Ascending)
