  • 1.  Question on Sort proposal -

    Posted 07-06-2024 21:09
    Greetings!

    On the data type question in:

    https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-4157

    Any seems awfully broad for values limited to -1 and 1.

    That said, I don't think the suggested ForceArray Reference|Array
    captures positive integer values as a data type.

    Is the data type positive integer with its expression the matter of a note?

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    Hi Patrick, hi all,

    "any" is broad. But how to write it? Maybe 'Integer|Array' to restrict it a little bit?

    'positiveInteger' does not exist as parameter type in part 4.

    I just see, a constrain for Sort_index is missing: The values in an array need to be unique.

    And perhaps put the sentence "The array may be given by reference, as function result or as inline array." in a Note? It is valid for Sort_index and Sort_order.

    BTW, I can still not upload a file 'multilevelSort.ods'. Error message: "Must be a supported file. Unable to upload."

    Greetings!

    That HTML email is awful! Converted to text for a more sensible reply.

    Why not Boolean since it is restricted to 1, -1? Defaults to 1.

    True.

    Francis: We never normatively reference part 3 in part 4. Bug?

    Of course then we need to be careful that none of the datatypes conflict.

    Perhaps better to treat absence of positiveInteger as a bug for ODF 1.5?

    Yes, good catch!

    Do you mean to say the Sort_Index and Sort_Order may be given by an array separate from the array of values?

    I saved your file on this issue with a test name and uploaded it to misc.

    Look under workspace. The site is still odd and changing. Maybe it will work today.

    Thanks for all your work on this!

    I have found the following references to Part 3 in Part 4 (ODF 1.4, CSD 02):

     

    • 3.3 Non-scalar evaluation, (2) Matrix evaluation: reference to Part 3 Section 19.683
    • 4.6 Error, paragraph 3: references to Part 3 Sections 19.389 and 19.383
    • 5.10.2 Quoted label – Lookup of defined labels: references to Part 3 Sections 9.4.9, 19.612, 19.660, 19.690.4
    • 6.14.4.2 GETPIVOTDATA – Preferred syntax: reference to Part 3 Section 9.6.3
    • 6.14.4.4 GETPIVOTDATA – Alternative syntax: reference to Part 3 Section 19.647.4
    • 6.16.60 SUBTOTAL, Semantics, second bullet: reference to Part 3 Section 19.754

     

    Some if not all of these references are normative, so I think this is a longstanding bug which we should probably fix in ODF 1.5. I say "probably", because the Part 4 lists Part 3 as an 'Additional artefact' in the same Work Package, and OASIS conventions may state that an additional artefact doesn't/shouldn't be listed in the Normative References. However, according to the ISO/IEC Directives Part 2, clause 15, any external document that contains provisions that constitute a requirement on the current document must be listed in the Normative Reference clause.

     

    Francis
