typedef struct _SORTORDERSPEC {
CEPROPID propid;
DWORD dwFlags;
} SORTORDERSPEC;

Parameters

  • propid
    Identifier of the property to be sorted on. Sorts on binary properties are not allowed.

    To sort differently, specify one or a combination of the following flags:

    Value Description
    CEDB_SORT_DESCENDING The sort is done in descending order. By default, the sort is done in ascending order.
