propid
Identifier of the property to be sorted on. Sorts on binary properties are not allowed.
dwFlags
Specifies the sort flags. It is one or a combination of the following flags:
| Value | Description |
| CEDB_SORT_DESCENDING | The sort is done in descending order. By default, the sort is done in ascending order. |
| CEDB_SORT_CASEINSENSITIVE | The sort operation is case insensitive. This value is valid only for strings. |
| CEDB_SORT_UNKNOWNFIRST | Records that do not contain this property are placed before all the other records. By default, such records are placed after all other records. |
| CEDB_SORT_GENERICORDER | The default sort order—ascending order, case sensitive—is used. Records that do not contain the sort property are placed at the end of the list. |
Remarks
The system supports only simple sorts on a primary key. Records with the same key value are be sorted in arbitrary order.
