psRecordSortField - cDRReport ¶

Type¶

String

Default¶

None

Arguments¶

Argument	Description
`sReportID`	ID of the report. Can be ID of the main report or the ID of a sub-report. This argument can be passed as an empty string. The empty string can be written as C_USEMAINDRREPORTID.
`iSortFieldIndex`	The index of the sort field

Description¶

Sets/Gets the field name of the N-th sort field of a report.

Sort fields can be added in the designer via the record sort expert dialog or via the AddRecordSortField method. Trying to set psRecordSortField of a non-existing sort field does not do anything and gives no error.

Use this property together with peRecordSortOrder

This property cannot be used before the report OCX object is initialized. The COM object creation is - when not done before - created as part of the OpenReport method.
