Sort Conditions

For each attribute, an order must be specified, either ascending or descending. and this information is placed after the attribute. Only public attributes can be used.

attr ASCENDING

DESCENDING

attr DESCENDING


Note

The sort condition and its parameter list are analyzed when a query is executed and transformed into an internal display. To bypass parsing each time the query is executed, the methods of the interface IF_OS_QUERY_EXPR_FACTORY can be used to create multiple-use sort conditions in the internal display.
