I'm not quite sure whether the description for the column I'm working on is proper, so bear with me.
I got an Interactive Grid that I'm adapting, and it's supposed to work such as this:
It should select a name on the first column (an autocomplete field), followed by 3 columns, each with a checkbox. I need to order the data in the grid by the name in the first column. Problem is, I can't use an "order by" in the select statement, so I need to use APEX's "Column sorting". The column for the name, however, isn't shown in the list to select the order by value. I only get the 3 checkboxes as an option to order it.
I tried having a copy of the name column, but this time, hidden (and not an autocomplete field), but it doesn't work either. Is there a workaround for this?
The IG will only allow you to sort by columns that have been enabled for sorting. By default, only columns of certain data types and maximum lengths are enabled for sorting, but you can override this for each column in your IG definition.
