textualSortCriteria

public java.lang.String textualSortCriteria

Sets the sort criteria using a text description. The textualSortCriteria parameter must use a format similar to the following example:

data,name,ascending;data,value,descending;comparator,DESCENDING_HEIGHT;

which means:

• The primary sort criteria is the the "name" data model attribute in ascending order.
• The secondary sort criteria is the "value" data model attribute in descending order.
• The ternary sort criteria is the natural order defined by the DESCENDING_HEIGHT predefined comparator.

The textual description model,ascending describes the order of objects in the SDM model.

CSS example: textualSortCriteria : "data,name,ascending;data,value,descending;comparator,DESCENDING_HEIGHT;";
