Page Comparison

• value1 = first field value to compare.
• value2 = second field value to compare.
• fieldName = name of the field that the grid is sorted by.
• isDescending = true if sorting in descending sequence, false otherwise.
• fieldDateFormat = date format of the field that the grid is sorted by, if the field is not a date null will be passed instead.
• fieldInfo= formatting information of the field that the grid is sorted by; if the field does not contain any formatting information, a blank object will be passed instead.
  • Some of the properties in the field info are:
    • dataType - the field data type
    • dataLength - data length (only present if the field is a character or a numeric field)
    • formatting - field formatting
• multiFields= When a multiple-column sort runs, this is an array of information about each column included in the sort. The first preferred sort column is the first entry in the array; the second preferred column is second; etc. This argument is undefined when the sort is for a single column.
  
  • Properties of each object are the same as described above:
    • fieldName
    • fieldFormat
    • fieldDateFormat
    • value1
    • value2
  
  

This function could be used to control the order numerals and characters are sorted.

The function code should go directly into the "sort function" property. For example:

return value2 - value1;

If the "sort function" were to be applied via applyProperty, this would be the syntax:

applyProperty('Grid1', 'sort function', 'return value2 - value1;')
