Icetips Utilities Documentation 11/14/2010     File Search Class:  SetFileSort

Previous  Top  Next

This method sets the file sort order that is used in the ScanFiles method to sort the SELF.Files queue after all the files have been read in.  This makes it easy to set the file sort order before the files are scanned.  Valid values are:

IT_FileSort:Name        Sort by file name

IT_FileSort:ShortName        Sort by short name (8.3 name)

IT_FileSort:Date                Sort by the file date

IT_FileSort:Time                Sort by the file time

IT_FileSort:Size                Sort by the file size

IT_FileSort:Attrib        Sort by the file attributes.

If SetFileSort is not called before scanning for files, then the sort order is undetermined.

Example:

ITF  ITFileSearchClass

Code

ITS.SetFileSort(IT_FileSort:Name) !! Sort by name

ITS.ScanDirectories()

ITS.ScanFiles()
