Core Sorting

The Sorting class creates an object which allows to easy create and display sorted views. The intention is to use this class everywhere in Contrexx as a gateway for sortings.

This class saves sortings in the user's session, also for different views.

Methods

  • function __construct(&$baseUri, $arrField, $flagDefaultAsc=true, $orderUriParameter=self::DEFAULT_PARAMETER_NAME)
    • Constructs a sorting with the given uri
    • Fields are in the array as ("FieldName" => "displayed name")
    • Fieldnams can be in a SQL syntax: id, 'id' or 'table'.'id'
  • function getUri_entities($field=null)
    • Returns the URL with the current sorting (NULL) or with the provided field
    • Usage e.g. as URL for the paging, so the sorting will still be set.
  • function getOrderReverseUriEncoded($field=null)
    • Returns the URL with the current sorting (NULL) or with the provided field, but in the inverse order
  • function getHeaderArray()
    • Returns an array (FieldName => HTML for the head field) for all fields
  • function getHeaderForField($field)
    • Returns the String with the HTML for the head field
