Sorting a struct of structs?
I've got a structure of structures, e.g.: Records[id123].id Records[id123].name etc. I'd like to sort by the id123 field, e.g. in the order Records[id1], Records[id2], etc. I tried StructSort but it gives this error: The specified element id123 does not contain a simple value. [snip] 112 : cfset Records = StructSort(Records) / Any ideas? -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 Nothing endures but change. - Heraclitus [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

This what you want? cfloop list=#listSort(structKeyList(records), textnocase)# index=i #records[i].id#: #records[i].name#br / /cfloop cheers, barneyb On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 12:43:16 -0400, Damien McKenna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got a structure of structures, e.g.: Records[id123].id Records[id123].name etc. I'd like to sort by the id123 field, e.g. in the order Records[id1], Records[id2], etc. I tried StructSort but it gives this error: The specified element id123 does not contain a simple value.

Re: Sorting a struct of structs?
Have you checked cflib.org for a UDF to handle this? I know there is one for sorting an array of structures and vica versa...may be worth a looksee Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

RE: Sorting a Struct of Structs on multiple fields. Ideas?
Just trying again on this. no responses the first pass. _ From: Jim Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 1:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Sorting a Struct of Structs on multiple fields. Ideas? While StructSort() works great for returning an array of keys sorted on a single field, I would like to sort on multiple fields. For example I've got a structure (actually a collection CFC) containing structures (actually domain CFCs of the same type).I would like to sort on two properties in the structs: BeginTime and EndTime. Just for now I think it's easiest forget that we're talking about CFCs (but understand that since we are using a different data store, like a query, really isn't an option). Actually getting the job done isn't all that hard... but I'm looking specifically for the best way to do it.Both the most flexible (it should allow for one or more properties and sort types to be specified) and as fast as possible. I'm just looking for ideas... I've considered some odd things that would work (for example constructing a query of the properties and keys and offloading the sort to QoQ) but before I get neck deep into it I'd like some other ideas. In the end I want to construct a root collection component from this that will allow easy creation of domain specific collection components.For example an employeeCollection component might extend this one and contain instantiated employee components.Using this sort it might feature a getSortedByLevelAndSalary() method. Does any of this make sense outside my head?;^) Thanks, Jim Davis _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
