Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function SortColumns( _
   ByVal column As Integer, _
   ByVal columnCount As Integer, _
   ByVal sortInfo() As SortInfo _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SheetView
Dim column As Integer
Dim columnCount As Integer
Dim sortInfo() As SortInfo
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.SortColumns(column, columnCount, sortInfo)

public bool SortColumns( 
   int column,
   int columnCount,
   SortInfo[] sortInfo
)

Parameters

column: Starting column index (the start of the range of columns to sort)
columnCount: Number of columns in the range to sort
sortInfo: Array of SortInfo objects that contain the row indexes and the order of sorting

Return Value

true if successful; otherwise false

Remarks

Use this method if you want to sort only a range of columns and not the entire sheet.

Use this method if you want to specify more than one row by which to sort. In other words, if you have more than one key for sorting. The SortInfo array can contain multiple keys (multiple rows) and the first specified row is the primary key, etc. The SortInfo array can also contain a value for IComparer to allow you to specify the way of comparing that is used in the sort and it may be different for each key.

Example

This example illustrates the use of this member by sorting the columns with the specified parameters.

FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView sv;
FarPoint.Web.Spread.SortInfo[] s = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.SortInfo[1];
s[0] = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.SortInfo(0, false);
sv = FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView;
sv.SortColumns(0, 2, s);

Visual Basic

Dim sv As FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView
Dim s(1) As FarPoint.Web.Spread.SortInfo
s(0) = New FarPoint.Web.Spread.SortInfo(0, False)
sv = FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView
sv.SortColumns(0, 2, s)
