Package

capi

Signature

sorted-object-sort-by pane new-sort-type &key allow-reverse

Arguments

`pane`⇩	An instance of sorted-object or a subclass.
`new-sort-type`⇩	The sort type to set.
`allow-reverse`⇩	A boolean.

Description

The generic function sorted-object-sort-by sets the sort type of pane to new-sort-type.

new-sort-type must match by cl:equalp the type of one of the sorting descriptions of pane.

If allow-reverse is non-nil and the sort type already matches new-sort-type, then the sort reverses the order of the items. The default value of allow-reverse is t.

If pane is a list-panel, then sorted-object-sort-by also calls sort-object-items-by to sort the items with the new sort type. For your own subclasses of sorted-object which are not subclasses of list-panel, if you need this behavior define an :after method that calls sort-object-items-by. You can also define :after methods on subclasses of list-panel to perform other tasks each time the items are sorted.
