Hi Jeff, i don't quite understand, do you mean that my function transform-data does not work with your new vector of maps data-structure ? Then you just need to tweak function transform-data to work with :keyword based retrieval functions instead of indices based, so in the function, instead of #(get % 5), you write just the keyword you use for deviation (this works because keywords are functions of maps you apply to them).
So if you for example have you deviation values mapped under :deviation key, the function definition will be:

(defn transform-data [data]
  (->> data
       (filter (comp #(re-find #"^([0-9.]+)\s%$" %) :deviation))
       (sort-by (comp #(read-string (second (re-find #"^([0-9.]+)\s%$" %))) :deviation) >)
       (into [])))

Or even better, pass the keyword to use as function parameter, so it becomes:

(defn transform-data [data deviation-key]
  (->> data
       (filter (comp #(re-find #"^([0-9.]+)\s%$" %) deviation-key))
       (sort-by (comp #(read-string (second (re-find #"^([0-9.]+)\s%$" %))) deviation-key) >)
       (into [])))

Then just call it:

(-> (get-report-data)
    (transform-data :deviation))

BTW, it's good decision to move from vectors to maps in this case, much better structure to hold this type of data.

Thanks a bunch mate....

Hi Jan......I guess yiu should bill me at the end of the month....buging you alot ....now I have this nested user data which looks like this

{"" {:username "", :password "$2a$10$ZdhEftfkQ61/k0GvXDaLGOtSRw5q6D3ZjfPdXx8GymrBxf3Bhr1fi", :roles #{:administrator}}, "" {:username "", :password "$2a$10$Au1gLG/5K/EJ0CPpBtMYLu7URjzkpyqv2wIC72oJows9I4xOcwlGa", :roles #{:user}},.......} ......have u worked with datatables...want to display username and role using a datatable like so....var oTable;
$(document).ready(function() {

$('#userslist').html( '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example"></table>' );
    $.getJSON("/home/user_list", function(json) {
    oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
    "aaData": json,
    "aoColumns": [
        { "sTitle": "Role", "sClass": "center", "mdata":"roles"  }
        { "sTitle": "User Name", "sClass": "center", "mdata":"username"  }
    ],
    "fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex ) {
        /* Append the grade to the default row class name */
        var id = aData[0];


        return nRow;
    },
    "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
"oTableTools": {
  "sSwfPath": "../datatables/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf"
}
} );

});

} );
but no luck yet...any Ideas please?

Cheers!

: username and : password are actuall strings....sorry forgot to include them
