PA_OrderByDialog (defaultTable)
Parameter | Type | Description | |
defaultTable | short | Default table |
Description
The routine PA_OrderByDialog displays the standard Order By Dialog for the defaultTable. If the user fills the search area and clicks OK, 4D sorts the current selection.
As the routine does not return any information on the sort result, the plug-in should check the "OK" global variable (see the example given in the "Building a query with the API" chapter).
This is like the ORDER BY command when it is used with just one parameter -- the table. See the 4th Dimension Language reference for more information.
Example
Display the Order By dialog for table 1, saving the selection before the sort.
PA_CopyNamedSelection(1, "\pTheSel"); PA_OrderBy(1); if(!GetOK()) PA_UseNamedSelection("\pTheSel"); PA_ClearNamedSelection("\pTheSel");
