SortList

×V4.3Ø

Syntax:

SortList  <List Name> <Column to Sort> {ASCENDING | DESCENDING} [<Column Type>]

       Where:

               <List Name> is the user defined name that is assigned to the list.

               <Column to Sort> is a number or variable containing a numeric value.

               <Column Type> is one of the following: Currency, Date, Number, String

Description:

The command sorts an existing list defined by <List Name> on a specific column <Column to Sort> to either Ascending or Descending order. The optional parameter <Column Type> can be used to specify if the column should be treated differently than the default value, Number.

During the sort, if you have specified Currency and a Date is present in the column, EMUE will automatically sort the list as String due to the mismatch in type.

Sample 1:

       The following example sorts a list called SmallBalance on the 8th column in a descending order.

SortList SmallBalance 8 DESCENDING

Sample 2:

       The following example sorts a list called Patients on the 2nd column in an ascending order.

SortList Patients 2 ASCENDING

Sample 3:

       The following example sorts a list called BadDebt on the 3rd column in a descending order as Currency.

SortList BadDebt 3 DESCENDING Currency
