Return Values

The flags that determine the sort order for the database. This parameter can be one of any of the following enumerated values.

CCeDBProp::Sort_Ascending

The sort is done in ascending order.

CCeDBProp::Sort_Descending

The sort is done in descending order.

CCeDBProp::Sort_CaseInsensitive

The sort operation is case sensitive. This value is valid only for strings.

CCeDBProp::Sort_UnknownFirst

Records that do not contain the property identified by wIdent are placed before all the other records. By default, these records are placed after all other records.

CCeDBProp::Sort_GenericOrder

This flag indicates the sort property is only a placeholder. If a CCeDBDatabase object has no sort properties assigned to it, CCeDBProp::Sort_GenericOrder is assigned as the default sort flag.

Remarks

You can pass one or more sort properties to the CCeDBProp::Create function when you create a CCeDBProp database object, in order to specify the sorting orders to use in the database.
