Please sort your Excel file manually via Microsoft Excel and save it and then provide it to me. I mean, I need sorted Excel file (i.e. your expected Excel file). Besides, I need the Sort dialog settings as shown in this screenshot.

We were able to confirm that your issue was occurring because of some bug in older version and 8.6.3 or higher versions are working fine. So, you will have to use the newer version because we do not fix the issues in older versions. We always fix the issue which are present in most recent version.

It means, if your older license allows you to use 8.6.3, then you can use it. But if your license does not allow you to use 8.6.3, then you will have to use the most recent version by purchasing new license.

Hi shakeel,

Just an update, I found that it tries to get a SaveOptions in save function and I’m not declaring anything. so it finds it as null . is the reason why that Null pointer Exception. So can you guide me for setting SaveOptions so that this works. its not because the leftToRight Sort the Exception is in Save Function of Workbook for the Save Options. I can update to the latest version, since it is a bit high level permissions, just trying if anything can work here … Can you help me with that Save Options…

SaveOptions is base class and it cannot be instantiated. For example, the following code is invalid

//You cannot create the instance of this class
SaveOptions so = new SaveOptions();

There are number of classes that are derived from SaveOptions. These are the followings.

  • DifSaveOptions
  • HtmlSaveOptions
  • ImageSaveOptions
  • OdsSaveOptions
  • OoxmlSaveOptions
  • PdfSaveOptions
  • SpreadsheetML2003SaveOptions
  • TxtSaveOptions
  • XlsbSaveOptions
  • XlsSaveOptions
  • XpsSaveOptions
