    Filter repeating tables

    Hello,

    I have another question:
    how can I add a filter to a repeating table that is bound to a list in Sharepoint?I need a filter to sort the data the table is displaying.
    I have a table that is currently taking all the items in the
    Sharepoint list that were created by a specific user - I would also like to have the possiblitly to display these in alfabetical order (like a check box sort by name).
    Do you think you could help me with this?

    Thank you,
    Monica

    Hi Monica,

    Two ways you can sort the data,

    1. In Sharepoint list you need to be re-sorted as per your requirement.

    2. One more way is the best is use a secondary datasource that is updated when a new entry is made. For the problem of sorting you can add an xsl:sort in your view after have made a preserve code block for that don't erase your xsl:sort!

    Adding xsl:sort to the view shoudl be a last resort though. Editing the XSL is generally discouraged even internally for us who know it intimately. :) Better to come up with a sorted view in sharepoint and try to use that.
