SortLists

Valid for: SetStartup & SetRuntime

Syntax -

SetStartup SortLists {"Yes" | "No"}

Description:

This option determines if EMUE will automatically sort a List as new entries are added to the list, according the string value of the first item in each list entry.  This option sets the Sort List Items On Add checkbox on the Misc. tab of the EMUE Tools - Current Settings - Option Settings dialog.  The original default is “Yes”, which matches OLIE™’s behavior.

Note: A “Yes” value allows EMUE to conform to the documented behavior of OLIE™.  The “No” option was added to satisfy customer requests to disable the "automatic" sort. If set to "Yes" users will experience significant degradation in performance as the number of records increases because each time a record is added the list will be sorted.

Note: Changing this option with SetRuntime will only affect lists created after the SetRuntime command is set.

Sample:

       The following statement instructs EMUE to leave the Lists in the sequence entries are added.

SetStartup SortLists "No"
