General Properties (Cont.)
Column Sort Order Specifies the column sort order for the list table data before populating the list box
control. The value is a space delimited string of integers representing columns in
the List Data Table.
• One or more columns can be specified.
For example, if the user wishes to sort the table based on column 1, the value
would be "1". If however the user wishes the table data to be sorted by column 3,
then column 1, and finally column 5, the value would be (without quotes, with a
space between each number) "3 1 5".
• Multiple column sorting is useful when a column contains duplicates or more than
one cell is empty.
Note: This property is enabled only when a List Data Table is assigned, and a List
Table Address and Port is assigned.
