Bookmark.SortDescending Method (2007 System)

Sorts paragraphs or table rows in descending alphanumeric order within a Bookmark control.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.v9.0 (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.v9.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub SortDescending
'Usage
Dim instance As Bookmark

instance.SortDescending()
public void SortDescending()
public:
void SortDescending()
public function SortDescending()

Remarks

The first paragraph or table row is considered a header record and is not included in the sort. Use the Sort(Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object) method to include the header record in a sort.

This method offers a simplified form of sorting intended for mail-merge data sources that contain columns of data. For most sorting tasks, use the Sort(Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object) method.

This method displays a Header Record Delimiters dialog box where users must select a field delimiter.

Examples

The following code example adds a list of fruits to a Bookmark control and then sorts the list in descending order.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub BookmarkSortDescending()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()

    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "Fruit" & vbLf & "Oranges" & vbLf & "Bananas" _
        & vbLf & "Apples" & vbLf & "Pears"
    Bookmark1.SortDescending()

End Sub 'BookmarkSortDescending
private void BookmarkSortDescending()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "Fruit" + "\n" + "Oranges" + "\n" +
        "Bananas" + "\n" + "Apples" + "\n" + "Pears";
    bookmark1.SortDescending();
}
