PV SORT COLUMN


PV SORT COLUMN ( area ; column ; order )

Parameter	Type	Description
area	Longint	4D View area
column	Longint	Column number
order	Longint	Sort order

Description

The PV SORT COLUMN command is used to carry out a standard sort, in ascending or descending order, on a column set by the column parameter in the 4D View area.

Sorting a dynamic column produces a synchronized sort of the other columns so that the records always remain in their initial state.
A sort on a static column only sorts that column.

To set the order parameter, use one of the following constants, located in the “PV Header sort” theme:

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
pv ascending sort	Longint	2	4D View carries out ascending sort.
pv descending sort	Longint	3	4D View carries out descending sort.

Note: This command can work only if the sort was previously allowed using the PV SET AREA PROPERTY command.

Example

With the following statement, the column will be sorted in ascending order:

PV SORT COLUMN(area;2;pv ascending sort)
