template::list::orderby::create (public)

 template::list::orderby::create -list_name list_name \
    -orderby_name orderby_name -spec spec [ -ulevel ulevel ]

Defined in packages/acs-templating/tcl/list-procs.tcl

Adds an orderby to a list builder list.

This proc shouldn't be called directly, only through template::list::create.

These are the available properties in the spec:

• label: The label for the orderby.
• orderby: The column to use in the order by clause of the query. If it's not as simple as that, you can also specify 'orderby_asc' and 'orderby_desc' separately.
• orderby_asc: The orderby clause when sorting ascending. This is useful when you're actually sorting by two database columns.
• orderby_desc: The reverse ordering from 'orderby_asc'.
• orderby_name: The name of a named query, same functionality as orderby property.
• orderby_asc_name: The name of a named query, same functionality as orderby_asc property.
• orderby_desc_name: The name of a named query, same functionality as orderby_desc property.
• default_direction: The default order direction, 'asc' or 'desc'. Defaults to 'asc'.
• multirow_cols: If specified, we will sort the multirow in the webserver layer by the given cols.

It is difficult, but you can sort hierarchical queries.

Switches:

-list_name (required)

Name of list.

-orderby_name (required)

Name of the orderby.

-spec (required)

The spec for this orderby. This is an array list of property/value pairs, where the right hand side is 'subst'ed in the caller's namespace, except for *_eval properties, which are 'subst'ed inside the multirow.

-ulevel (optional, defaults to "1")

Where we should uplevel to when doing the subst's. Defaults to '1', meaning the caller's scope.
