:: com :: sun :: star :: util ::

interface XSortable
Description
makes it possible to sort the contents of this object.

The available properties describing the sort criterias are defined in the sort descriptor implemented by the object that implements this interface.

There are older deprecated sort descriptors:

  • com::sun::star::util::SortDescriptor
  • com::sun::star::table::TableSortDescriptor
  • com::sun::star::text::TextSortDescriptor

And a new set of sort descriptors:

  • com::sun::star::util::SortDescriptor2
  • com::sun::star::table::TableSortDescriptor2
  • com::sun::star::text::TextSortDescriptor2

Both types may be implemented by the same object. When calling the sort method however properties from different descriptors must not be mixed.

Methods' Details
createSortDescriptor
sequence< ::com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue >

a sequence of properties which allows to specify/modify the sort criteria.

The set of properties is specific to the type of object that implements this interface. Therefore they can usually be used only for objects of that same type.

void
sort( [in] sequence< ::com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue >  xDescriptor );
