Sort flexibility

Post by dunbarx » Mon Nov 09, 2015 5:20 pm

One can place the "sortType" and "sortDirection" on either side of the container reference, including both sides:

Code: Select all

sort numeric descending myVar
sort numeric descending myVar ascending numeric
.

But those modifiers placed after the reference will override those placed before.

This does not apply to the "sortKey", which must follow the reference.
