New (SortOrder constructor)
Create a new, null SortOrder (SortOrder class)
This method creates a new instance of the SortOrder class.
The SortOrder created by New is empty, that is, without a
sorting order or sorting key.
Applied as the parameter of a Sort or SortNew method, an empty SortOrder
produces a copy of the input collection.
Syntax
%sortOrder = [%(SortOrder For itemType):]New

Usage notes
- New is a constructor and as such can be called with no object,
with an explicit class
name and collection item type, or with an object variable, even if
that object is null:
%sord = new %sord = %(sortOrder for object stringlist):new %sord = %sord:new %arraylist2 = %arraylist1:sortnew(new)
