Ignition 7.8.3 (yes I know the client needs to upgrade)…
Is there anyway to sort the templates in a template repeater by a value (date) shown on the template?
Client has 100 pieces of identical equipment. 100 instances of a UDT are used to get information from the equipment. A template repeater is used to show templates bound to these UDTs. We need to be able to sort what is shown by a date stored in the UDT.
Thanks
Once they’re in the repeater there is no property which allows for sorting. You should sort the Template Parameters you are supplying before they’re applied - in your SQL query, or as a last-ditch effort you could apply a propertyChange script which sorts the data (small datasets only).
If you’re reading from hundreds of UDTs, you might want to use a Gateway timer script to regularly construct a tag which builds itself from the referenced UDTs and then sorts by date. Then you could bind the Template Repeater’s Template Parameters property to this new Tag.
