Description

Description:

Sorts given ListBox by either lbText, lbValue or lbData in normal or reversed order, using case-sensitive or case-insensitive comparison. This command supports UNICODE characters. When sorting by "VALUE", the rows with the same lbValue will additionally be sorted by lbText in the order specified by `reversedOrder` flag, text specified by `useTextRight` flag and case-sensitivity specified by `caseSensitive` flag.

⚠

This command supports referencing control via IDC as well, but as with any use of IDC in UI Control commands, a dialog should be present, i.e. UI user interaction is created with createDialog rather than createDisplay.
As this command supports UNICODE by default, which may result in slower sorting, you can switch it off with unicodeOff param.

Groups:

GUI Control - ListBox
