How to change the Sorting of Link Fields

adityaduggal · May 29, 2014, 6:26am

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to sort the results of a link field ALPHABETICALLY instead of by the last edited sorting that the system follows by default.

Whether I need to put a custom client side script or custom server side script for the same.

Aditya,

In version 4 there is a Sort By and Sort Field setting you can do via Customize Form view.

Sort Field and Sort Order are used to determine how to sort the records in the list view when displaying it and it is not related to the link field.
I am really looking for a method to sort the values of the link field alphabetically (from A to Z or from Z to A). For example, when I click on item code, I need to see the codes of the item arranged ascending from A to Z (Aword1, Bword2, Cword3, … etc). How to achieve this?

Bilal

@bghayad Did you ever solve this problem? I’m running into the same thing.

bghayad · February 6, 2018, 2:20pm

As settings, I did not find.
And I did not continue working on this issue.
But as coding (customization): have you tried set_query if it possible to take the ordering as argument? I think this need to be checked or ask on the forum about it.
If set_query resolved your problem, please let me know.

Regards
Bilal

bedo · March 15, 2018, 11:16am

I have the same problem. I don’t really know how to fix this. All linked fileds seems to be sorted randomly. Is there any solution out of the box? Or script? But it affects all linked field so to script this will be a lot of work

lasalesi · March 15, 2018, 11:49am

Have you tried something like this: (include in onload trigger, example works on tiem_code field)

cur_frm.fields_dict['item_code'].get_query = function(doc, cdt, cdn) {
     return {
         filters:{'default_supplier': doc.supplier},
         order_by: 'default_supplier'
     }
}

bedo · March 15, 2018, 12:02pm

thank you, but what I like is to sort the field based on itself. I tried your code on timesheet, just to sort employees, but this doesn’t work

frappe.ui.form.on("Timesheet", "onload", function(frm) {
cur_frm.fields_dict['employee'].get_query = function(doc, cdt, cdn) {
     return {
         filters:{'employee': doc.employee},
         order_by: 'employee_name'
     }
}
});

bghayad · March 15, 2018, 7:26pm

First of all, as there is no query will be done, so you need to use set_query and not get_query.
Second: I do not think you need to use filters because you are not filtering, but rather you are ordering.
Third: you need to check (we need someone to confirm) if it is possible to use order_by as in below example:

frappe.ui.form.on(“Timesheet”, “onload”, function(frm) {
frm.set_query(“employee”, function(doc) {
return {
order_by: ‘employee_name’
};
});
}

Any luck on this? I’d like to sort by size field when selecting the item from the sales order item table and trying to figure out how to do this.

bghayad · August 7, 2018, 10:01am

What do you mean by size field? Do you mean the number of characters of the item name or what exactly?
