There have been some important changes to 4D View v6.8.1. Among these changes is the management of sorting when clicking on column or row headers.

Example:
Under 4D View v6.8.0, you would do something like:

$sortAllowed:=1 `1=allowed 0=not-allowed
PV SET COLUMN HEADER ($area;1;"Create Date";$sortAllowed)

This is no longer valid under 4D View v6.8.1. Under 4D View v6.8.1, to implement header or column sorts you must consider whether the data is static or dynamic.


- For static data:

We begin by installing the HeaderSortMethod callback method, that will be called in the event of a click in the area:

PV ON EVENT (area;pv on clicked;"HeaderSortMethod")

The HeaderSortMethod method catches any clicks on the column headers and sorts the corresponding data (from rows 1 to 25) in ascending order:

`HeaderSortMethod method
C_BOOLEAN($0)
C_LONGINT($1;$2;$3;$4;$5;$6)
If ($5=0) `If the click takes place on a header
 $0:=True `Blocks the event
 PV SORT ONE (area;$4;1;$4;25;1;$4;0) `Ascending sort of the selected column
End if

- For Dynamic Data:

We begin by installing the EventMethod callback method that will be called in the event of a click in the area:

PV ON EVENT(area;pv on clicked;"EventMethod")

This statement catches any clicks in the area. The EventMethod method will enable us to detect clicks in the column headers and to sort the data as a consequence.

`EventMethod Method
C_BOOLEAN($0)
C_LONGINT($1;$2;$3;$4;$5;$6)
C_INTEGER($tableNum;$fieldNum)
If($5=0) `If the click takes place in a header
 :$0:=True `Cancels the event
 :$PV GET CELL FIELD(area;$4;1;$tableNum;$fieldNum) `Data to be sorted
 :$ORDER BY(Table($tableNum)->;Field($tableNum;$fieldNum)->;>) `Sorting 4D data
End if `Linked values in the columns are automatically sorted
