33.4 List Box Properties: Sort
List Box Properties, Sort
You reach the Sort tab by right-clicking a sheet object (List Box, Multi Box, Table Box, Chart or Slider/Calendar
object) and choosing Properties from the float menu (or Object, Properties in the main menu).
Here you set the sort order of the values in the sheet object. Some sort options may not be available for some
sheet objects.
Sort by:
State Sorts the field values according to their logical state (selected, optional or
excluded).
The Auto Ascending setting sorts the list box (or, in a multi box, the dropdown
list containing the field values) according to State only if the list box
contains a vertical scroll bar. However, if you enlarge the list box to show all
values, the sort order State is completely switched off.
Expression Sorts the field values according to the expression entered into the text edit box
below this sort option. If using sort by expression, an alternative set of records
must be defined by a set expression. See also Set Analysis (page 799).
Frequency Sorts the field values by frequency (number of occurrences in the table).
Numeric Value Sorts the field values by numeric value.
Text Sorts the field values in alphabetical order.
Load Order Sorts the field values by the initial load order.
The Default button sort order sets the default sort order.
The order of priority is State, Expression, Frequency, Numeric Value, Text, Load Order. Each of these sort
criteria can be set to Ascending or Descending.
