You would have declared the it as string. Ex: string(|)[integer(2)]. That is why it is sorted as how string would be sorted. Declare it as decimal. Ex: decimal(|)[integer(2)]. It will sort in the right way

Hi all,
I have found a problem with vector sort. Whenever we are trying to sort (17,16,5,89) it will give the value (16,17,5,89) whenever it is encountering 1 first it is ignoring 5. Can you help me with this?

By Using "meta pivot component" - we can change the input data into
col1 1
col2 A
col1 2
col2 B
col1 3
col2 C

In order to get the desired output -

col1 1 2 3 4
col2 A B C D

we need feed the output of "META PIVOT" component to De-normalize component.

I guess below code can help for 3rd max else 1st max for each group key. Input_file --> sort (descending) --> Rollup --> output type temporary_type=record decimal("") rank ; decimal("") sal ...

@Dinesh: but it is not taking care of the requirement, i.e. if there is no 3rd record, it should display the first highest sal. In the solution you mentioned it will display the second highest sal.
