To Sort Table Maintenance Before Display.

I found the below steps very useful to sort the table maintenance before display.

Go to SE11 and enter table name(eg. ZTEST) ->Display
Click UTILITIES menu->Table Maintenance Generator
Click on ENVIRONMENT menu->Modification->Maintenance screens->Double click on record in the popup.
Write one MODULE SORT_EXTRACT (in PBO of the maintenance view screen) to sort exactly before Table Control loop statement(LOOP AT EXTRACT WITH CONTROL)
Write the below piece of code at SORT_EXTRACT to sort Table Maintenance.
MODULE SORT_EXTRACT OUTPUT.

DATA : IT_ZTEST LIKE ZTEST OCCURS 1WITHHEADER LINE .

IF NOT SY-UCOMM = ‘NEWL’.

IT_ZTEST[] = EXTRACT[].

SORT IT_ZTEST BY F1 F2 F3.

EXTRACT[] = IT_ZTEST[].

ENDIF.

ENDMODULE. ” SORT_EXTRACT OUTPUT

I have “optimized” the MODULE Content, to be able to use it more than once

CODE:

CASE objh-objectname.    “global field 🙂

WHEN ‘<YOUR_MAINTVIEW>’.

    DATA : IT_ZTEST LIKE <YOUR_MAINTVIEW> OCCURS 1 WITH HEADER LINE .

     […]

ENDCASE.
