The PV SORT COLUMN command is used to carry out a standard sort, in ascending or descending order, on a column set by the column parameter in the 4D View area.
Sorting a dynamic column produces a synchronized sort of the other columns so that the records always remain in their initial state.
A sort on a static column only sorts that column.
To set the order parameter, use one of the following constants, located in the “PV Header sort” theme:
| Constant | Type | Value | Comment |
| pv ascending sort | Longint | 2 | 4D View carries out ascending sort. |
| pv descending sort | Longint | 3 | 4D View carries out descending sort. |
Note: This command can work only if the sort was previously allowed using the PV SET AREA PROPERTY command.
With the following statement, the column will be sorted in ascending order:
PV SORT COLUMN(area;2;pv ascending sort)
