Get(SortState)

Purpose

Returns a value representing the current sort state.

Format

Get(SortState)

Parameters

None

Data type returned

number

Originated in

FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier

Description

Returns:

• 0 if the records in the active table

are not sorted

• 1 if the records in the active table are sorted

• 2 if the records in the active table are partially sorted (semi-sorted)

Each window has its own sort state.

Notes

• When records are imported from another file to a previously found and sorted set, the

records in a sorted set may exist in a semi-sorted state. To include the imported records in

the sort order, sort the found set after importing.

• If you specify the context

for the current calculation, this function will be evaluated based on

that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current window.

• For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search

the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at http://help.filemaker.com

Examples

Returns 1 when the records in the active table are sorted.
