Sorting items in a repeating list

[Andrew Caplinger]

In InfoPath, is is possible to sort items in a repeating table or repeating
section? I'm adding Expense Report line items, and I'd like to have the
results sorted by date, without having to enter them in date order.

TIA.

You will have to write this in code, but it is very doable. In fact, you
can just steal the code from the "Asset Tracking" solution provided as an
example with InfoPath. Just open the solution up in the Designer, double
click on the sort button, and look at it's OnClick() event.

Thanks, Josh. If the web-based newsreader had found the previous reference
(which I found later with a REAL newsreader) I wouldn't have asked what I
would presume to be a FAQ. Thanks Again.

Josh,

So I must be missing something...I am not finding the "Asset Tracking"
solution anywhere....Is it part of the SDK or what..???? Can I download it
from somewhere?

Thanks

I have Infopath 2007 and I have the Asset Tracking sample--but I do not see a
Sort button. Was it removed for the 2007 version?

This ships as part of InfoPath... just launch InfoPath and click Sample Forms on the top left of the Fill Out A Form dialog box.
