Sorting a form collection?
Is it possible to sort a collection, particularly the form collection?? All my form fields are created dynamically and are named such as Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 .. .. Q10 Q11 Etc. When I loop the collection they are returned in the good old alphabetical order i.e. Q10 Q11 Q12 Q13 Q9 Q8 I just wanted to know if there was easy way to do this before I started building it to create a list, removing the Q and sorting chronologically then looping that. especially since the collection has the potential to get rather large. Also, I didn't want to put 0's in front of single digit numbers since they are unique ID's of rows in my database table. So, is there a function to sort a collection like you can with lists using listsort() ? or evenis there a way to make access use 01, 02 when auto incrementing with an autonumber datatype? ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Something like this : cfloop collection=form item=ii cfif find(ii,Q) cfset NumberOfQs = NumberOfQs + 1 /cfif /cfloop cfloop from=1 to=NumberOfQs index=i cfset currntQ = Q i do what ever... /cfloop or use NumberFormat to name your field like 001 002 003 ... 010 011 WG -Original Message- From: Ewok [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 March 2003 13:23 To: CF-Talk Subject: Sorting a form collection?

Re: Sorting a form collection?
Ewok,
Also, I didn't want to put 0's in front of single digit numbers since they
are unique ID's of rows in my database table.
Use number format when you append your numbers to the form field names
eg. name=Q#NumberFormat(i,00)#
This will make sure that your numbers are zero filled.
So, is there a function to sort a collection like you can with lists using
listsort() ?
You could do a listsort on form.fieldnames, then loop through that to
process your form fields.
eg.
cfscript
sortedlist = listsort(form.fieldnames);
for (i=1;i=ListLen(sortedList);i=i+1) {
thisfield = ListGetAt(sortedList,i);
WriteOutput(form[thisfield]);
}
/cfscript
Hope this helps

Stephen

Re: Sorting a form collection?
I can think of a number of workarounds, i was just wondering if there was a
built in function to accomplish the sorting
changing the format may be a good solution though...
allthough it would change the number 1 to 01...
that number would not match up with the uniqueid in the database anymore...
I guess i would just need to reformat it when comparing it to the database
with something like
numberformat(numb, 0) ???
the list wouldnt work since all the form fields are radio buttons and some
will not exist if they werent selected, I can keep them all alive through
dynamic cfparams on the action page which would keep all fields in the
collection...but form.fieldnames would only hold fields that were selected
before the form was submitted
i COULD move the params to the top of the form i suppose but like i
said...the list could potentially get very large so I'd rather stay away
from too many list functions
thanks for the response !

Qn and that you are storing only the number as a number and not Q in the database. Yes, that's exactly what I am doing. I wrote it originally creating a dynamic table each time a survey was created. to hold results for each survey and it worked great .as long as I entered all the data to build the new survey heh : ) there was just too much room for error that way to let joe blow create a new survey so im changing it around some (quite a bit actuallyok okcompletley!) It would only have problems differenciating between the two if you are storing the number in a text/char field. it is an autonumber datatype I had no idea that SQL would match 0001 to 1 that's deffinatley good news!
