<Table>.Sort (Function) In french: <Table>.Trie Sorts a Table or TreeView Table control on one or more columns (lexicographical sort). Remark: When a control is sorted by <Table>.Sort, the images used to identify the sort direction are not displayed in the columns.
// Sort "COL_Designation" and "COL_Price" columns in "TABLE_Product" // "COL_Designation" is sorted in ascending order // "COL_Price" is sorted in descending order TABLE_Product.Sort("COL_Designation", "-COL_Price")
Syntax
Sorting a Table or TreeView Table control on one or more columns identified by their name Hide the details
<Result> = <Table control>.Sort(<Column 1> [, <Column 2> [... [, <Column N>]]])
<Result>: Boolean - True if the sort was performed,
- False otherwise.
<Table control>: Control name Name of the control to be used. This control can correspond to: - a Table control.
- a TreeView Table control.
<Column 1>: Character string Name of first column to sort (up to 16 columns). This parameter has the following format:
"[<Direction>]<Column name>" where:- <Direction> (character) indicates the sort direction:
- "+": ascending sort (by default),
- "-": descending sort.
- <Column name> (character string): name of column to sort.
<Column 2>: Optional character string Name of the second column to sort (up to 16 columns). This parameter has the following format:
"[<Direction>]<Column name>" where:- <Direction> (character) indicates the sort direction:
- "+": ascending sort (by default),
- "-": descending sort.
- <Column name> (character string): name of column to sort.
<Column N>: Optional character string Name of Nth column to sort (up to 16 columns). This parameter has the following format:
"[<Direction>]<Column name>" where:- <Direction> (character) indicates the sort direction:
- "+": ascending sort (by default),
- "-": descending sort.
- <Column name> (character string): name of column to sort.
Canceling a sort that was previously defined on a Table or TreeView Table control populated programmatically Hide the details
<Result> = <Table control>.Sort(<False>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the sort was canceled,
- False if a problem occurred.
<Table control>: Control name Name of the control to be used. This control can correspond to: - a Table control populated programmatically.
- a TreeView Table control populated programmatically.
<False>: Constant False: Keyword used to remove a sort previously defined on a Table or TreeView Table control populated programmatically. Remarks Use conditions <Table>.Sort can be used on: - a Table or TreeView Table control populated programmatically.
- a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file with automatic iteration ("Browse automatically" option in the "Content" tab of the control description). In this case, only one column is sorted.
- a single-selection or multi-selection control.
![WEBDEV - Server code WEBDEV - Server code](https://doc.windev.com/ext/images/us/WBS.png?-1123132264) Reminder: Multi-selection is not available for Table controls in classic mode.
Sorting a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file A Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file will be sorted according to the first specified column (syntax 1 and 2). Caution: the column used for the sort must be linked to a key item in the data file used to browse the control. Tip: To sort a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file with several columns, use a composite key and the BrowsedItem property: TableName..BrowsedItem = NAMECOMPOSITEKEY To cancel a sort in a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file, simply assign an empty string to the BrowsedItem property. Managing a sorted Table or TreeView Table control - When the control is sorted by <Table>.Sort, the additions performed by <Table>.Add, <Table>.AddLine, <Table>.Insert and <Table>.InsertLine take the sort into account.
- When the control is sorted by a mouse click, the additions performed by <Table>.Add, <Table>.AddLine, <Table>.Insert and <Table>.InsertLine ignore the sort.
- The sort is not canceled by <Table>.Display, <Table>.Adjust, TableSearch, <Table>.Count, <Table>.Position, <Table>.Select, <Table>.SelectMinus, <Table>.SelectPlus, <Table>.Delete and <Table>.DeleteAll.
- The sort is canceled if a column is modified (by direct input in the column or by <Table>.Modify and <Table>.ModifyLine) and if it is sorted.
Sort on a calculated column It is not recommended to use <Table>.Sort on calculated columns. These columns are calculated when each row is displayed. A sort defined with <Table>.Sort on a calculated column will be valid only for the rows already displayed. Programmatically loop through Table or TreeView Table controls <Table>.Sort has no effect on controls looped through programmatically. Performing a sort according to the ASCII value A memory area allows you to perform a sort according to the ASCII value Example:
MemCreate("MZ") MemAdd("ZM", "abc", "abc") MemAdd("ZM", "ZZZ", "ZZZ") MemAdd("ZM", "zbc", "zbc") MemAdd("MZ", "ééébc", "ééébc") MemAdd("ZM", "AB", "AB") MemAdd("ZM", "CD", "CD") MemAdd("MZ", "çabc", "çabc") MemAdd("ZM", "bbc", "bbc") MemSort("MZ") i is int MemFirst("MZ") WHILE NOT MemOut("MZ") i = MemCurrent("ZM") Trace(MemRetrieve("MZ", i)) // Display in ASCII order MemNext("MZ") END
