Report Explorer

rbuser

Hi,

I would like to change the sort order in the report explorer, so is there
any way that we can change the default sort order of the folders in the
Report explorer.

Thanks in advance

The default sort mode for the listview is read from RBuilder.Ini. So you can
run the report explorer, click the listview columns to have it sort on the
desired column. Then exit the app and the next time you run it will display
that sort order.

If you are referring to the TreeView that appears on the left then you will
need to create a custom report explorer form and register it as the
replacement for the built-in form. For an example see
RBuilder\Tutorials\Complete\Applications\Custom Report Explorer.

The UpdateTreeView method is responsible for populating the treeview.

As I mentioned in my original reply, UpdateTreeView method is responsible
for populating the treeview. That is the method that you need to modify.

For example, if I comment out the following line, the treeview is not sorted
at all.

// trvFolders.AlphaSort;
