The <sortby>
tag includes one or more <sortbyvalue>
tags, which you can use to specify a property of the target object to be used in sorting the results of a targeting operation. The <sortbyvalue>
tag has the following syntax:
<sortbyvalue value="{string}" [dir={direction}]>
The value
attribute specifies the name of the property of the target object to sort by. The optional dir
attribute specifies the sorting direction, one of ascending
or descending
; if unspecified, the direction defaults to ascending
.
Example - This sorting directive indicates that the targeting results should be sorted by the lastModified
property of the target objects, in descending order.
<sortbyvalue value="lastModified" dir=descending>
Note that the <sortbyvalue>
tag does not take an end tag.
