PageBlockTable Sort Controller

I'm a newbie to controllers and need some help sorting a pageblocktable.

 

Custom Object:  Apartment__c

Related List:  Unit__c

Result:  Sort Units by Nickname__c

 

Simple VF Page:

<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" cache="false" standardController="Apartment__c" extensions="sortExtention" >
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!sortExtension}" var="item">
<apex:column value="{!item.ID}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Unit_Number__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Nickname__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Available__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Bedrooms__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Bathrooms__c}" />
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

Controller

public class sortExtension{

public Apartment__c Apt;
public ApexPages.StandardController controller {get; set;}
public List<Unit__c> units; public sortExtension (ApexPages.Standardcontroller c)
{
this.controller = c; Apt = (Apartment__c)Controller.getRecord(); }
public Unit__c [ ] getUnitList()
units = ([Select ID,Unit_Number__c,Available__c,Bathrooms__c,Bedrooms__c,Nickname__c from Unit__c Where Apartment__c.Unit__r = :TC.id ORDER BY Nickname__c]);
return units;}

 

ERROR:  Compile Error: unexpected token: 'units' at line 9 column 7

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Can you try using just "unitList" instead of "getUnitList" in your page? If this does not work, try using public List<Unit__c> getUnitList() instead of public Unitlist[] getUnitList().

you need to open and close the getUnitList() function. You have not closed it and hence the error.

How do I close it?  When I say I'm a newbie...I mean this is my first controller.  ;-)

Public unitlist [] getUnitList
{ // this is the opening curly brace

all your logic

return unitlist;
} // this is closing curly brace
jls_74_txjls_74_tx

Got It!  The controller saved but when I try to enter the logic into the VF page I get an error:

 

Error: Unknown property 'Apartment__cStandardController.getUnitList'

 

I know I'm close.....is there a smiley for hitting your head up a wall?  

 

VF Page:

 

<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" cache="false" standardController="Apartment__c" extensions="sortExtension" >
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!getUnitList}" var="item">
<apex:column value="{!item.ID}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Unit_Number__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Nickname__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Available__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Bedrooms__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!item.Bathrooms__c}" />
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

Controller:

 

public class sortExtension{

public Apartment__c Apt;
public ApexPages.StandardController controller {get; set;}
public List<Unit__c> units; public sortExtension (ApexPages.Standardcontroller c)
{
this.controller = c; Apt = (Apartment__c)Controller.getRecord();}
public Unit__c [ ] getUnitList()
{units = ([Select ID,Unit_Number__c,Available__c,Bathrooms__c,Bedrooms__c,Nickname__c from Unit__c Where Apartment__c = :Apt.id ORDER BY Nickname__c]);
return units;}
}
