Description
The sortItemsBy( ) method sorts a recordset by a specified field. This creates great flexibility for how you display your recordset. For example, a display might contain column headings that are clickable; clicking the column heading could trigger the sortItemsBy( ) method.
The sortItemsBy( ) method is defined in the RsDataProviderClass class.
Example
The following code adds two rows to a recordset and then sorts the recordset by last name:
#include "RecordSet.as"
var myRecordset_rs = new RecordSet(["First", "Last", "Email"]);
myRecordset_rs.addItem({First:"Jack", Last:"Splat", Email:"jack@tom-muck.com"});
myRecordset_rs.addItem({First:"Tom", Last:"Muck", Email:"tom@tom-muck.com"});
myRecordset_rs.sortItemsBy("Last");
