Most recent data first in table view

[cdnbikerdude]

 I am adding values to a display table like in the example, but I want the top row to be the newest data for the user to see. 

It keeps adding to the bottom, and then the user would have to scrolll down to see all the data.      Can I select somehow the most recent data or get the table to auto scroll as data is applied?     I have tried shift registers as well but no luck.        

Here is my VI

Thanks

Did you read the help for the Insert Into Array function? It plainly says that if you leave the index inputs unwired, it will insert at the end. So, don't leave the index inputs unwired. Wire a '0' to the row index.

Add a zero constant to your row index on the insert into array.

Be aware that if you populate the table with a lot of data, its performance will get very slow.  You can work around this issue by only writing data to the table which the table is actually displaying.  To do this, you will need to use a scroll bar separate from the main table and the event structure to capture events.  If you run into this issue, let us know so we can provide some sample code.

How can the scroll bar can be add???

[DFGray]

Use a scrollbar control.  Set its range based on the number of lines in the full list, and thumb size based on the number of lines displayed.  Use an event structure to capture changes so you can update the list.  Hide the vertical scrollbar on the list itself.
