Table.Sort Method

Sorts the rows of the Table by the property specified in

SortProperty

and resets the current row to just before the first row in the Table.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Outlook 2007

Syntax

expression.Sort(SortProperty, Descending)

expression   A variable that represents a Table object.

Parameters

Remarks

SortProperty

can be any explicit built-in property or custom property, with the exception of binary and multi-valued properties. The property must be referenced by its explicit string name; it cannot be referenced by namespace. For futher information on specifying sort properties, see Sorting Items in a Folder.

Sorting the table is equivalent to calling a MoveToStart method. The cursor will be positioned to the start of the Table.

If Table.Sort and then Table.Restrict are called, the filtered items in the new Table will be sorted by the same

SortProperty

and

SortOrder

.

Table.Sort only supports sorting on a single column.

Example

The following code sample shows how to sort the rows in a Table based on the ReceivedTime property, and prints the value of the MAPI normalized subject property for each row in the sorted table.

  Sub SortTableByReceivedTime()
    Dim oT As Outlook.Table
    Dim oRow As Outlook.Row
    Set oT = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).GetTable
    'Add normalized subject (subject without RE:, FW: and other prefixes)to the column set
    oT.Columns.Add ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0E1D001E")
    
    'Sort by ReceivedTime in descending order
    oT.Sort "[ReceivedTime]", True
    
    Do Until oT.EndOfTable
        Set oRow = oT.GetNextRow
        'Print the normalized subject of each row
        Debug.Print oRow("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x0E1D001E")
    Loop
End Sub
