Issues with Data Sorting and Table Comparisons

I'm not sure if this post belongs under "Novices" or under "General" but, since I'm a novice with TestComplete, I'll post it here.



Our application has some sortable data tables with clickable headers (to select sorting).  The data are not static, so I cannot store them in the script in advance.  I know how I would go about doing this if I had two tables and either C++ or Python, but how does one effect a comparison to ensure that proper sorting is being performed?



Thank you very much in advance.
  • Hi!



    You can only accomplish what you want through scripting.



    For instance:



    - First you can click the column you want to sort your table, then do your magic going through all the table lines to check if the sorting is ok



    - Second, click another column (different sorting criteria) do your magic



    -Repeat to every column and adjust your script to match each criteria
