Sorting in Lists (SD)

Use

You can use a sort function to process the lists that are not managed by the ABAP List Viewer. The sort key appears in the Sort field at the top right of the screen. Depending on where you place the cursor, you can use the sort function in several ways.

Procedure
Cursor in the command line

Place the cursor in the command line.

Choose Edit ® Sort.

A dialog box appears.

Select a maximum of three sort fields by entering 1, 2, and 3 in the sequence you wish the system to observe the fields. The sort fields available include, for example, various organizational data.

Indicate whether you wish to sort the list in descending order.

If you do not select the Descending field, the system will automatically sort in ascending order.

Indicate whether you wish to sort with totals.

If you select the With totals field, the system will display a subtotal with each group change. A group change occurs when the sorting field’s contents change between two display lines.

Choose Enter.

The list is sorted according to the criteria you have entered.

Cursor is in a column or on a field in the header

Place the cursor in a selection column for a certain item or on a field in the header line.

Choose Edit ® Sort.

The documents in the selected column are sorted in ascending order. If, for example, you place the cursor on the Doc. date column, the documents are sorted by date in ascending order.
