Sorts all the rows on this sheet by the specified column.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overloads Function SortRows( _ ByVal keyColumn As Integer, _ ByVal ascending As Boolean, _ ByVal showIndicator As Boolean _ ) As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As SheetView Dim keyColumn As Integer Dim ascending As Boolean Dim showIndicator As Boolean Dim value As Boolean value = instance.SortRows(keyColumn, ascending, showIndicator)

C#
public bool SortRows( int keyColumn, bool ascending, bool showIndicator )

Parameters

keyColumn: Column index whose values are compared during sorting
ascending: Whether to sort in ascending order
showIndicator: Whether the sort indicator should be displayed

Return Value

Boolean: true if successful; false otherwise

Remarks

This is the simplest of the methods to sort rows. You need only specify the following:

the column to use as a key for sorting
whether the sort is ascending or descending
whether to show the sort indicator in the column header or not

All the rows in the sheet are sorted. Use this method to sort the arrangement of rows in a sheet using one or more columns as the key.

This does not affect the data model, only how the data is displayed. Different overloads provide different ways to sort the rows.

Example

This example sorts a range of rows.
