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.
