Timeline Calendar Sort by Category

[Wilky1234]

Has anyone tried sorting by category --this is what I've been working on but I doesn't work:

{ "groups": [ { "id": "ACC Event", "content": "ACC Event" }, { "id": "ACC MLR", "content": "ACC MLR" }, { "id": "CC Leave/TDY", "content": "CC Leave/TDY" }, { "id": "CD/Leave/TDY", "content": "CD/Leave/TDY" }, { "id": "CCC Leave/TDY", "content": "CCC Leave/TDY" }, { "id": "MA @ Shaw", "content": "MA @ Shaw" }, { "id": "ACC Staff LV/TDY", "content": "ACC Staff LV/TDY" }, { "id": "15 AF Event", "content": "15 AF Event" }, { "id": "Battle Rhythm Events", "content": "Battle Rhythm Events" }, { "id": "Significant Event", "content": "Significant Event" }, { "id": "Information/Awareness", "content": "Information/Awareness" } ], "sortOrder": { "ACC Event": 1, "ACC MLR": 2, "CC Leave/TDY": 3, "CD/Leave/TDY": 4, "CCC Leave/TDY": 5, "MA @ Shaw": 6, "ACC Staff LV/TDY": 7, "15 AF Event": 8, "Battle Rhythm Events": 9, "Significant Event": 10, "Information/Awareness": 11 }, "options": { "width": "100%", "height": "30px", "margin": { "item": 20 } }, "subgroupOrder": "sortOrder", "showCurrentTime": true }

@Wilky1234 I'm having a hard time understanding what you are trying to do. Are you using the Timeline Calendar web part or the legacy, code-based Timeline Calendar solution (DoD login only)?

In the web part version you don't define your groups/rows via JSON, which is why I'm confused by your question. If you can include screenshots that would help as well. If the data in the screenshots is "sensitive", consider posting instead within the Timeline Calednar web part's support group on milSuite (DoD login only).

Mike,

I received a request to sort by the categories so basically the ACC items are first then the General’s items then the Deputy…

This is what I came up with but could not get the calendar to sort:

{

"items": [

{

  "name": "Item 1",

  "Category": "ACC Event"

},

{

  "name": "Item 2",

  "Category": "ACC MLR"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 3",

  "Category": "CC Leave/TDY"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 4",

  "Category": "CD/Leave/TDY"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 5",

  "Category": "CCC Leave/TDY"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 6",

  "Category": "MA @ Shaw"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 7",

  "Category": "ACC Staff LV/TDY"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 8",

  "Category": "15 AF Event"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 9",

  "Category": "Battle Rhythm Events"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 10",

  "Category": "Significant Event"

}

,

{

  "name": "Item 11",

  "Category": "Information/Awareness"

}

],

"groupOrder": {

"ACC Event": 1,

"ACC MLR": 2,

"CC Leave/TDY": 3,

"CD/Leave/TDY": 4,

"CCC Leave/TDY": 5,

"MA @ Shaw": 6,

"ACC Staff LV/TDY": 7,

"15 AF Event": 8,

"Battle Rhythm Events": 9,

"Significant Event": 10,

"Information/Awareness": 11

}

}

[

{ "name": "Item 1", "Category": "ACC Event" },

{ "name": "Item 2", "Category": "ACC MLR" },

// ... other items

],

"order": categorySort

v/r

After connecting outside of GitHub it was clarified that the user was attempting to have the events on the calendar listed in a certain order with some at the top followed by others. This is not applicable as the timeline will render events as necessary to fill the available space.
