SORTORDER Property

PLBCMP GUI Only

The SORTORDER property indicates the default sort order of items in an object. The property uses the following format:

SORTORDER={value}

Note the following:

1. SORTORDER may be used in CREATE or GETPROP statements of a LISTVIEW object. or the CREATE, GETPROP, or SETPROP statements of a DATATABLE.

2. {value} is a decimal number, a Numeric Variable, an Expression, or a keyword as defined in PLBEQU.INC. The supported values and keywords are:

 

Value	Keyword	List items are ...
1	$SORTASC	sorted in ascending order.
2	$SORTDSC	sorted in descending order.
3	$SORTNONE	not sorted. (default)

3.  When the SORTORDER property is set to $SORTASC or $SORTDSC, the DATATABLE data is immediately sorted using column zero.
