Visual Basic Reference
Sorted Property
See Also Example Applies To
Returns a value indicating whether the elements of a control are automatically sorted alphabetically.
Syntax
object.Sorted
The object placeholder represents an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Return Values
The Sorted property return values are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | List items are sorted by character code order. |
| False | (Default) List items aren't sorted alphabetically. |
Remarks
When this property is True, Visual Basic handles almost all necessary string processing to maintain alphabetic order, including changing the index numbers for items as required by the addition or removal of items.
Note Using the AddItem method to add an element to a specific location in the list may violate the sort order, and subsequent additions may not be correctly sorted.
