Create SortOrder object that has no sorting order or sorting key

New is a member of the 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

  %sord = New

Syntax terms

%sord
A SortOrder object variable to contain the new object instance.

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)
