Time (I think you mean date) should be in a date format.
Then use BY TIME NOPRINT BY TIMETEST

Yang,

You can convert your year-month field to a FOCUS MTYY format:

  
-* File yangyang1.feX
FILEDEF YANG DISK YANG.FTM
-RUN
-WRITE YANG 2008-01
-WRITE YANG 2007-01
-WRITE YANG 2008-04
-WRITE YANG 2009-01
-RUN
EX -LINES 4 EDAPUT MASTER,YANG,C,MEM
 FILENAME=YANG    , SUFFIX=FIX
 SEGMENT=YANG, SEGTYPE=S0
 FIELDNAME=DT,  ALIAS=DT,  USAGE=A7, ACTUAL=A7, $
-RUN
DEFINE FILE YANG
ADT/A6YYM=EDIT(DT,'9999$99');
FDT/MTYY=ADT;
END
TABLE FILE YANG
BY FDT
END

Then sort is natural.

Why don't you try:

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
BY time
END
-RUN

The reason the output is in this order is you are using an integer for the month/year.

The MTYY is just for output foratting.

You are sorting

012008
012007
042008
012009

You have several options, JG's is the easiest.

Hi Danny-SRL , thanks your replied.

i used your code,

DEFINE FILE YANG
ADT/A6YYM=EDIT(DT,'9999$99');
FDT/MTYY=ADT;
END
TABLE FILE YANG
BY FDT
END


i can get the :
JAN, 2007
JAN, 2008
APR, 2008
JAN, 2009


so , how to remove the "," to get the [JAN 2007] with natural sort


Thanks,
Yang

Try this:
DEFINE FILE YANG
ADT/A6YYM=EDIT(DT,'9999$99');
ALFA/A17 = CHGDAT('YYM', 'MYYT', ADT, 'A17');
FDT/MTYY=ADT;
END
TABLE FILE YANG
PRINT ADT ALFA BY FDT
END

Thanks GamP

actually , i want to use this in create Graph.

so i want to order by time(JAN 2007)

if it is "A17" , i think the sort is jumbled .

i used the Danny-SRL's code , it's ok except "," ...



Thanks,
Yang

The comma is part of that date format (MTYY) it is also grammatically correct even if it does extend the value by one extra character.

If you want the comma removed you will will have to control the sort order yourself using BY fieldname COLUMNS 'JAN 2007' AND ..... etc.

Check out the documentation so that you understand it fully before trying to use it.

And then the possible aesthetical problem of an additional comma far outweigh the complexity of
BY sortfield ROWS val1 OR val2 ...

and of
ACROSS sortfield COLUMNS val1 AND val2 ...
