{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **ApplyOrder **method applies the active sort order to the managed VIEW. The order applies starting with the next read from the VIEW.

The AddSortOrder method sets the available sort orders.The SetSort method sets the active sort order.

**Implementation:**

The ViewManager implements sort orders with the VIEW's [[order  set view sort order expression .htm|ORDER]] attribute. See the //Language Reference //for more information.

**Example:**

** MyView.AddSortOrder(ORD:ByCustomer) !sort by customer no**

** !program code**

** MyView.ApplyOrder                   !apply the order**

** MyView.Next()                       !get next in specified order**
