4.268 SortKind Property

Description:

Determines whether ListItem objects are sorted in text or numerical order.

Used in control(s):

ListView

Values (with constants):

0 - Text(POW-SORTKIND-TEXT)
1 - Numeric(POW-SORTKIND-NUMERIC)

For example, assume that there are three ListItem objects and their Text properties are set to "1", "2", and "10":

If the value is "0 - Text", the ascending order is "1", "10", "2". If the value is "1 - Numeric", the ascending order is "1", "2", "10".

Note that:

The objects are not sorted immediately after this value is changed, however the objects are sorted after the value of the SortOrder property is changed.

If the value is "1 - Numeric" the sort order is determined by using equivalent VT_CY values. If a numeric value cannot be converted to a VT_CY value, (see "Appendix C. Data Types" for supported range) the ListItem object is not sorted and the position is undefined.

Default value:

0 - Text
