Sorting by Year From a Date Column

Sorting by Year From a Date Column

Question:
How do I sort by year a datawindow that already sorts in ascending or descending? (The field is in mm/dd/yy format.)

Answer:
Create a computed column on the datawindow and extract the year portion of the date field [e.g., Year( my_col )]. Then you can sort by the computed column.
