Sorting/Paging

The Sorting/Paging page allows you to define the sorting criteria and paging type and size in the web part.

The Sorting/Paging page contains the following elements:

 

Table 12. Sorting/Paging

Element	Description
Sort Fields	Allows you to define the initial sorting criterion for the data. This is the syntax for this property: FieldName1 [SortDirection], FieldName1 [SortDirection] SortDirection is either ASC (ascending order) or DESC (descending order). The FieldName and the SortDirection are case sensitive. If the SortDirection is not specified, ascending order is assumed. For example: First Name ASC, Last Name DESC, Company NOTE: You cannot define criteria to sort custom fields. To sort custom fields, click the column in qListView. You can sort custom fields under the following circumstances only: • the custom field search data total count is less than MaxQueryRowCount's value (by default, this value is 2000) • the custom field is only a calculated value • the custom field’s calculated value is not written in JavaScript code
Allow Custom Paging	Defines whether or not your default operation supports custom paging. Custom paging feature enables your operation to retrieve the data from your external system one page at a time. If you set this property to true, your operation should take the PageSize, PageIndex and SortFields parameters. Click here to see the example in the Catalog property for an operation that supports custom paging feature. If your default operation does not support custom paging, you should set this property to false. In the absence of custom paging, the SI List View will automatically page the data for you if the number of rows in your data table is larger than the number in the Page Size property. If you deal with a large number of data in the external system, we recommend that you use custom paging to improve the response time of the list view.
Paging Mode	Allows you to select the type of pager that is displayed at the bottom of the listview if the items must be divided into multiple pages.
Page Size	Allows you to set the maximum number of rows that is displayed in one page. If the number of rows is larger than the Page Size, the data is divided into several pages. You can navigate the pages using the Pager displayed at the bottom of the listview.
