Hi,

How can we sort the first row in asc and second row in desc in a table of ten columns.
Thanks

No, simply because there's nothing that allows you to sort a row.

I assume you want a result something like

Code: Select all

 1  2  3  4  5  6
10  9  8  7  7  6
 3  5  9 11 13 20
15 14 12 10  9  5

70 AAA SHOULD BE IN ASC
10 BBB SHOULD BE IN DESC

You want to sort odd numbered rows and even numbered rows separately? Then separate them into two streams and sort them separately. Use a Funnel when re-assembling the rows into a single stream.

As noted, you don't "sort a row" so this makes absolutely no sense. Extend your example to all 10 rows and show 10 rows of output, maybe that will help explain what you are trying to say. :?
