Example

Executing the example requires the MDM dictionary with the RDS_REPO identifier. This repository contains the MDM dictionary with the SORT identifier. Add links to the Metabase, Rds system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    Mb: IMetabase;
    RdsKey: Integer;
    DictObj: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
    DictInst: IRdsDictionaryInstance;
    Sorter: IRdsElementsSorter;
    Elems: IRdsDictionaryElements;
    Attrs: IRdsAttributes;
Begin
    Mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    RdsKey := Mb.ItemById("RDS_REPO").Key;
    DictObj := Mb.ItemByIdNamespace("SORT", RdsKey);
    DictInst := DictObj.Open(Null) As IRdsDictionaryInstance;
    Elems := DictInst.Elements;
    Sorter := Elems.CreateSorter(Elems.Root);
    Attrs := DictInst.Dictionary.Attributes;
    Sorter.Attributes.Add(Attrs.FindById("Name"), True);
    Sorter.Sort(True);
    Sorter.Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example elements of the SORT dictionary are sorted by name. Direction of sorting is ascending.
