Example
The following examples are based on a ComboBox instance named , which
myComboBox
contains four elements labeled , , , and :
"Apples" "Bananas" "cherries" "Grapes"
// First, populate the ComboBox with the elements.
myComboBox.addItem("Bananas");
myComboBox.addItem("Apples");
myComboBox.addItem("cherries");
myComboBox.addItem("Grapes");
// The following statement sorts using the order parameter set to "ASC",
// and results in a sort that places "cherries" at the bottom of the list
// because the sort is case-sensitive.
myComboBox.sortItemsBy("label", "ASC");
// resulting order: Apples, Bananas, Grapes, cherries
// The following statement sorts using the order parameter set to "DESC",
// and results in a sort that places "cherries" at the top of the list
// because the sort is case-sensitive.
myComboBox.sortItemsBy("label", "DESC");
// resulting order: cherries, Grapes, Bananas, Apples
// The following statement sorts using the optionsFlag parameter set to
// Array.CASEINSENSITIVE. Note that an ascending sort is the default
setting.
myComboBox.sortItemsBy("label", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
// resulting order: Apples, Bananas, cherries, Grapes
// The following statement sorts using the optionsFlag parameter set to
// Array.CASEINSENSITIVE | Array.DESCENDING.
myComboBox.sortItemsBy("label", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE | Array.DESCENDING);
// resulting order: Grapes, cherries, Bananas, Apples
