Constructor Detail

SortInfo

public SortInfo()

Constructor

SortInfo

public SortInfo(java.lang.String layerName,
                int[] direction)

Constructor

Parameters:

layerName - name of the layer to which these sort criteria apply

direction - Array of QDR objects by which to sort.

Method Detail

setLayerName

public void setLayerName(java.lang.String layerName)

Set the layer name to which these sort crtieria apply.

Parameters:

layerName - name of the layer to which these sort criteria apply

getLayerName

public java.lang.String getLayerName()

Get the name of the layer to which these sort criteria apply.

Returns:

Layer name.

setDirection

public void setDirection(int[] direction)

Set one or more direction constants that specify the sort direction of each corresponding sort criterion. The values should be one of the sort direction constants (ascending or descending).

Parameters:

direction - Array of QDR objects by which to sort.

getDirection

public int[] getDirection()

Get the array of direction constants that specify the sort direction of dimension items.

Returns:

Array of sort direction constants.
