Re: Collection.orderBy()

I **KNOW** I am going to hate this when I start using collections etc. B vs b ARGH! :) On Fri, 27 Apr 2018 21:39:46 +, Julio Carneiro via 4D_Tech wrote: > > The collection member function is ‘orderBy’, capital B. That’s why you get > a runtime error, because ‘orderby’ does not exist.

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Thanks Jeff and Julio. Funny, I thought I’d double-checked case, but apparently not well enough! As soon as I changed it from “orderby” to “orderBy” it started working. BTW, I finally turned on object notation in my database and have started using object notation as well as collections directly

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Cannon, If the statement in your code reads exactly as you posted then the error is in v16r6 syntax checker :-) The collection member function is ‘orderBy’, capital B. That’s why you get a runtime error, because ‘orderby’ does not exist. At this point 4D does not manage class typing properly, so

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Well, you have a curly quote in that line of code - maybe that's just a mail artifact? Should the asc be inside the double quotes? -- Jeffrey Kain jeffrey.k...@gmail.com > On Apr 27, 2018, at 5:10 PM, Cannon Smith via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Has anyone else gotten orde

Collection.orderBy()

I’m having trouble with the collection.orderBy() command working. Not sure if it is me or a bug. I’m using 4D v16r6, 64-bit, on macOS with this line of code: $cSortedFrames:=$oPage.frames.orderby("position.zIndex asc”) In the method editor everything colors correctly, including “or
