Sort and display all times in order.

 

Hello everyone! In my table, I’ve set up two time fields (as shown in the image). I’m wondering if I can create a code snippet in the ‘View’ table to display all the entries of time1 and time2 in sequential order. I tried some code, but it wasn’t successful. Thanks for your help!

let getCopy := (select 'table');
let pailie := for xx in getCopy do
        let times := [];
        if xx.'time1' != null then
            times := times + [xx.'time1']
        end;
        if xx.'time2' != null then
            times := times + [xx.'time2']
        end;
        let sortedTimes := sort(times);
        let formattedTimes := for time in sortedTimes do
                format(time, "YYYY-MM-DD")
            end;
        formattedTimes
    end;

    There is no time data in time2.

    Do you mean you want to sort Date then Time?

      Hi, Fred, My example is not very precise; I just need the dates sorted, and the times can be ignored.

    Hi 

    There are a couple of issues here:

    • you are creating an array of dates and trying to add these view element which is not possible - view elements are designed to display records which can then be linked through from the view.
    • I have discovered that the array needs to be initialised with a type in order for the addition of elements to work - so let times := [text(void)].

    I have created the following code which will display these dates in a formula field (with each on a separate line):

    let getTimeRecs := (select Table);
    let times := [text(void)];
    for timeRec in getTimeRecs do
        if timeRec.'Time 1' != null then
            times := array(times, [format(timeRec.'Time 1', "YYYY-MM-DD")])
        end;
        if timeRec.'Time 2' != null then
            times := array(times, [format(timeRec.'Time 2', "YYYY-MM-DD")])
        end
    end;
    let sortedTimes := sort(times);
    join(sortedTimes, "
    ")

    Not sure if this will help you or not but feel free to come back.
