I have a query that lists items in locations in our warehouse. Each location is broken down by Aisle-Bay-Level-Position, for example 50-101-01B; or 51-106-02 with all the even Bays on one side and Odd bays on the other side of the aisle. I have the query set up so it separates odd and even so I can go all the way down one side of the aisle then I have to walk back to the beginning of the aisle to check the other side. What I am trying to do is change the sort based on another field that I have called SORT with a value of AZ or ZA depending on if I need that section to be sorted ASC or DESC. So for example all even bays in aisle 51 need to be sorted DESC while all ODD bays would be ASC. The way our warehouse is laid out it is not always the odd or even side that needs to be sorted DESC, that's why I made the SORT field. The formula I used for the SORT field is as follows:
SORT: IIf(([Aisle]='50' And [OE]='ODD') Or ([Aisle]='51' And [OE]='ODD') Or ([Aisle]='53' And [OE]='ODD') Or ([Aisle]='52' And [OE]='EVEN'),'AZ','ZA')
Is there a way to make it sort the BAY in ASC or DESC based on the value in SORT?
As an example here is how I want the order to be:
50-101-01A
50-101-01B
50-103-02A
50-103-02B
51-101-01
51-103-01
51-102-01
51-136-01
51-134-01
51-132-01
52-136-01
52-134-01
52-132-01
52-101-01
52-101-02
52-103-01
52-103-02
53-101-01
53-101-02
53-103-01
53-103-02
53-136-01
53-134-01
53-132-01
Hope my post is not too confusing...
