We are facing issue in ordering of the records in the oracle form screen.
Scenario is: We have to display 20 records at a time in the screen and on pressing previous, next button can scroll through previous 20 records and next 20 records respectively.

But the field is not coming alphabatically

We dont want create a data base View for this.
Please suggest any other approach

Set the order by clause property on the datablock.
A view wouldn't fix this.

As of scrolling number of records up and down, we talked about it recently.

A little question: How do you query the records in bundles (20, next 20´..)? Do you change the DEFAULT_WHERE-Clause using, " WHERE ROWNUM</> 20 / 40 .."? --> Rownum is evaluatet before ordering.

I don't think that Isha selects 20 records at a time; he (probably) fetches all of them (a simple <execute query>), but wants to jump up or down for 20 records (I guess that is the number of records displayed in a data block).

Then set the marker, control the where clause with "rownum >= 0", "rownum => 20" and so on. This is my idea.. I don't know if there is right trigger where you can place your code.

<sarcasm on>This 'rownum' idea is great if you want to bog your database server in unnecessary queries.<sarcasm off>

What's wrong with the default functionality?
