Ruport for beginner

[Dot Baiki]

Dear Ruby community,

I am looking for a "simple" PDF output for monthly salaries. Input is a
CSV file and output should be a PDF file.

I just get more or less these fields from the CSV
id, name, valid_time and date

While creating the tables and preparing the output, there have are
several calculations to be done before PDF generation.

However, I am not yet there

Here is what I got so far:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'ruport'

#csv_input = File.open('testtest.csv','r')

csv_input = <<-EOF
id,name,valid_time,date
1,baiki,5:00,9/10/2009
1,baiki,1:45,9/14/2009
2,lee,6:00,9/8/2009
2,lee,6:00,9/7/2009
2,lee,6:55,9/6/2009
2,lee,6:00,9/8/2009
1,baiki,5:00,9/11/2009
1,baiki,4:00,9/12/2009
1,baiki,2:00,9/13/2009
EOF

table = Tablestring => csv_input)

table = table.sub_table(%w[id name valid_time date])

table.rename_columns('id' => 'ID', 'name' => 'Name', 'valid_time' =>
'Hours worked', 'date' => 'Date')

grouped_by_id = Grouping(table, :by => 'ID', rder => :ID)

puts grouped_by_id

#csv_input.close
-------------------------------------------------------------------

My question for now. How can I sort within the grouping according to the
date. Basic sorting is asc ID.

Thanks
