**SetSort( **//order//**, **//force reset //**), VIRTUAL, PROC**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetSort** | Applies a specified sort order to the FormVCR group. |
| //order// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that specifies the sort order to apply. |
| //force reset// | A numeric constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that tells the method whether to reset the FormVCR conditionally or unconditionally. A value of zero (0 or False) resets the FormVCR only if circumstances require (sort order changed, reset fields changed, first time loading); a value of one (1 or True) unconditionally resets the FormVCR. |

The **SetSort **method applies the specified sort //order //to the FormVCR group and returns one (1) if the sort order changed; it returns zero (0) if the sort order did not change. Any range limits, locators, and reset fields associated with the sort order are enabled and applied.

The //order //value is typically a value returned by the ViewManager's AddSortOrder method which identifies the particular sort order. Since AddSortOrder returns sequence numbers, a value of one (1) applies the sort order specified by the first call to AddSortOrder; two (2) applies the sort order specified by the next call to AddSortOrder; etc. A value of zero (0) applies the default sort order.

**Implementation:**

The ResetSort method calls the SetSort method.
