Hi ,

We are using JavaScript for the Sorting options.In this Case again the Webfocus Server is hitting the Database Server and retrives the Data.

Is any other Method to get the sorting option in the Client Side ( Web server itself)?

Thanks

It sounds like you may want to purchase the Active Reports option. Active Reports allow resorting on the client side as well as many other features.


Thanks!

I recommend that you do not do this. If you would like to resort the data, send the request back to the WebFOCUS Server with the new sort criteria. If you are doing anything more than listing data in a report output, trying to sort the data on the client without reissuing the request will be very complicated unless you use Active Reports.


Thanks!

I thought along Frank's line (if Active Reports is out). There just isn't one magic program that does everything (although FOCUS/WF comes close.) Smiler Some do some things well, others do other things well. HTML and javascript don't do sorting well(i.e.easily) , Excel does.

We recently purchased a license for Active Reports and personally I think this would be the way to go for what it sounds like you want'

You might also consider holding the file and hitting that for the resort instead of going back to the database. We've done that and get very good performance on even very large result sets. The key is you have to manage that hold file then -- either it needs held permanently in your app path or you need to create a user-specific hold file. There are caveats to this method, however...
