1. Re: How to order a query by a column added using QueryAddColumn()?
duncancumming Jul 24, 2014 1:29 AM (in response to el_sim)Not entirely sure what you mean by "works for one column only but not for all of them". Are you adding multiple columns? Or is that you're also wanting to do secondary ordering, e.g. have them ordered by Totals then by Name?
So for instance your query is already ordered on Name, you've just added your new Totals column. You should be able to do:
<cfquery name="ResortQuery" dbtype="query">
SELECT *
FROM GetTotals
ORDER BY Totals DESC, Name ASC
</cfquery>
PS: when you're using <cfset> to call functions like this, you don't have to assign them to a variable:
<CFSET x = ArrayAppend(myArray,TotalJobs)>
<CFSET x = QueryAddColumn(GetTotals, "Totals", "VarChar", myArray)>
arrayAppend returns a boolean, queryAddColumn returns an integer indicating the number of the new column. In most cases these values aren't used; you can just do this:
<CFSET ArrayAppend(myArray,TotalJobs)>
<CFSET QueryAddColumn(GetTotals, "Totals", "VarChar", myArray)>

el_sim Jul 24, 2014 11:26 AM (in response to duncancumming)Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, you're right: this code does work as desired. I've fixed my problem - it was outside this piece of code.
Your comment helped to direct my attention to the other places. Thanks again.
