Sort Report in the Order of Multi_Valued Parameters

by  IdoMillet  Posted    (Edited  )
Assume your report accepts into a multi-value parameter called {?Customer_List} several customer numbers.
The report should show the customers in the order they were entered into the parameter.

Sort the report on the following formula, which computes for each Customer Code its position in the parameter value list:
------------------------------------------------------[ignore]
NumberVar i ;
NumberVar N ;

FOR i := 1 TO UBound({?Customer_List}) DO
(
IF {Customer.Customer ID} = {?Customer_List} THEN
(
N := i;
Exit For ;
)
);

N;
[/ignore]
------------------------------------------------------
Cheers,
