PV SORT COLUMN
version 2004
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 |
| pv ascending sort | Longint | 2 |
| pv descending sort | Longint | 3 |
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)
