IStdDimOrders.Item

Syntax

Item(Index: Integer): IStdDimOrder;

Parameters

Index. Attribute index in sorting list.

Description

The Item property returns sorting order settings for the attribute included into sorting list of a table dictionary. Attribute index is passed by the Index parameter.

Example

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Dimens: IStandardDimension;
    DimAttrs: IStandardDimAttributes;
    DimOrd: IStdDimOrders;
    Order: IStdDimOrder;
    s: String;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Dimens := MB.ItemById("TAB_DIM").Bind As IStandardDimension;
    DimAttrs := Dimens.Attributes;
    DimOrd := DimAttrs.Orders;
    Order := DimOrd.Item(0);
    If Order.ReverseOrder Then
        s := "Descending";
    Else
        s := "Ascending";
    End If;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the "s" variable contains Ascending if dictionary elements are sorted in ascending order by the first attribute in the sorting list.
