Sort A to Z click button on appinventor

[Rafik30905]

Its possible to google sheet Column data Sort A to Z from Appinventor?

[TIMAI2]

Yes, but you will need a google apps script setup to do it....

Some ideas

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
 var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
 var range = sheet.getRange("A1:C7");

 // Sorts by the values in the first column (A)
 range.sort(1);

 // Sorts by the values in the second column (B)
 range.sort(2);

 // Sorts descending by column B
 range.sort({column: 2, ascending: false});

 // Sorts descending by column B, then ascending by column A
 // Note the use of an array
 range.sort([{column: 2, ascending: false}, {column: 1, ascending: true}]);

That's fine, but it will always be active But I want to use buttons, which means I will have 2 buttons for 2 columns Clicking on the 1st button will sort by the 1st column. Clicking the 2nd button will sort the column by 2nd I hope I understand It will be possible to do.

[TIMAI2]

Yes, that is possible. You need to set if/else in your script and send an identifying parameter to the script so that it knows which command to run.

Here is a simple google apps script web app that does what you ask:

function doGet(e) {
 var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1IdpGILd7Nii82xbDN1Cok');
 var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
  var range = sheet.getRange('A2:H101');

  if (e.parameter.fn == 'ColA') {
 // Sorts by the values in the first column (A)
 range.sort(1);
 return ContentService.createTextOutput('ColA sorted')
  }
  else if (e.parameter.fn == 'ColB') {
 // Sorts by the values in the second column (B)
 range.sort(2);
 return ContentService.createTextOutput('ColB sorted')
  }
}

You would send a web Get from the app like this(to sort by ColA/1st column):

The script was able to realize. But what to do to block?

Timai2 always master class in gsheet.

By the way why don't you refer his site for using gviz method of gettingdata from gsheet in whatever format you want? I mean , even if gsheet have whatever order you can get sorted order of all data or particular range from gsheet to mit app
