Sorted (Property)

In french: Triée

The Sorted property is used to:

Determine if a control is sorted.
Sort a control.

This property is available for List Box, ListView and Combo Box controls populated programmatically.

Remarks:

The Sorted property sorts the elements in the List Box or Combo Box control when it is displayed. If the control is sorted, new elements will be inserted (ListAdd) according to the current order.
For ListView controls, the sort order is defined according to the caption of the elements.
This option can be chosen in the window or page editor in the control description ("Details" tab, "Sorted list" option).

Example

ListAdd(LIST_List1, "CC")
ListAdd(LIST_List1, "DD")
ListAdd(LIST_List1, "BB")
LIST_List1.Sorted = True
// The order in the List Box control becomes BB, CC, DD
ListAdd(LIST_List1, "AA") // Will be inserted at the beginning of the list
