WORD GetSortFlags( ) const;
The flags that determine the sort order for the database. It is one of the enumerated values shown in the following table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| CCeDBProp::Sort_Ascending | The sort is done in ascending order. |
| CCeDBProp::Sort_Descending | The sort is done in descending order. |
| CCeDBProp::Sort_CaseInsensitive | The sort operation is case sensitive. This value is valid only for strings. |
| CCeDBProp::Sort_UnknownFirst | Records that do not contain the property identified by wIdent are placed before all the other records. By default, these records are placed after all other records. |
| CCeDBProp::Sort_GenericOrder | This flag indicates the sort property is only a placeholder. If a CCeDBDatabase object has no sort properties assigned to it, CCeDBProp::Sort_GenericOrder is assigned as the default sort flag. |
You can pass one or more sort properties to the CCeDBProp::Create method when you create a CCeDBProp database object, in order to specify the sorting orders to use in the database.
