I found it on the RBase website control properties document. Not sure which version it was introduced.
The interesting thing is that it doesn't capture the default sorting, only if the user has clicked on a header to change it. So you would need to do the following: SET VAR vCurrentSort TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY listview CURRENTSORT "vCurrentSort" IF vCurrentSort IS NULL OR (SLEN(vCurrentSort)) = 0 THEN SET VAR vCurrentSort = "client ASC, cdate ASC" ENDIF EDIT USING claim WHERE &vCWhere ORDER BY &vCurrentSort The syntax for my "if" looks a little weird. If it was still in the default sorting, the vCurrentSort was not null, however it was blank. But a = " " didn't work to test either, and the length of the variable was 0.

Found the getproperty, CURRENTSORT I just knew it was there somewhere!!

Can I capture the current sort of a List View? Guess I'm looking for a getproperty. The list view always comes up sorted a certain way, and I have a "scroll through all" button which brings up a multi-row edit form that should come up in the same order. Works fine until they click on a List View header and change the sorting, and want the "scroll" to do the same thing. I've looked in my notes and I don't see a property for that. I know I can disable sorting and have them do a sort via a button, but I'd rather not go that route. Thanks!
