Description

The sortItemsBy( ) method sorts a recordset by a specified field. This creates great flexibility for how you display your recordset. For example, a display might contain column headings that are clickable; clicking the column heading could trigger the sortItemsBy( ) method.

The sortItemsBy( ) method is defined in the RsDataProviderClass class.

Example

The following code adds two rows to a recordset and then sorts the recordset by last name :

 #include "RecordSet.as" var myRecordset_rs = new RecordSet(["First", "Last", "Email"]); myRecordset_rs.addItem({First:"Jack", Last:"Splat", Email:"[e-mail]"}); myRecordset_rs.addItem({First:"Tom", Last:"Muck", Email:"[e-mail]"}); myRecordset_rs.sortItemsBy("Last");
