entitySelection.isOrdered( )

entitySelection.isOrdered( ) 


 

entitySelection.isOrdered () -> Result 
Parameter Type   Description
Result  Boolean in True if the entity selection is ordered, False otherwise

The entitySelection.isOrdered( ) method returns true if the entity selection is ordered, and false if it is unordered.

Note: This method always returns true when the entity selection comes from a remote datastore. 

For more information, please refer to the Ordered vs Unordered entity selections paragraph.

Example  

 C_OBJECT($employees;$employee)
 C_BOOLEAN($isOrdered)
 $employees:=ds.Employee.newSelection(dk keep ordered)
 $employee:=ds.Employee.get(714) // Gets the entity with primary key 714
 
  //In an ordered entity selection, we can add the same entity several times (duplications are kept)
 $employees.add($employee)
 $employees.add($employee)
 $employees.add($employee)
 
 $isOrdered:=$employees.isOrdered()
 If($isOrdered)
    ALERT("The entity selection is ordered and contains "+String($employees.length)+" employees")
 End if
