Inconsistent results with SortByNumeric - it toggles ascending/descending

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:59:17 GMT

Greetings.

I have the following subroutine, that seemed to be working fine with v8.5, but now seems to be toggling instead of consistantly setting the sort in ascending order. The subroutine is as follows

SUB TableChartSortNumericAscending (SheetName, ObjectName, ColumnNumber)

ActiveDocument.Sheets(SheetName).SheetObjects(ObjectName).Restore

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle 3000

ActiveDocument.Sheets(SheetName).SheetObjects(ObjectName).SortBy ColumnNumber

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle 3000

set TableChart=ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(ObjectName)

set Prop = TableChart.GetProperties

if TableChart.GetObjectType=4 then 'Its a Table

Prop.Layout.ColLayouts.Item(ColumnNumber).SortCriteria.SortByNumeric = 1

else

set vars = Prop.Dimensions

vars.Item(ColumnNumber).SortCriteria.SortByNumeric = 1

end if

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle 3000

TableChart.SetProperties Prop

END SUB

It does pretty much as it says: Sets a column in a table or chart to sort numerically in ascending order. Well, it used to. Now when I run it, if the column is currently set to ascending, after running the macro, it will be set to descending. If it was set to discending before running the macro, it will then be set to ascending.

I want this macro to *always* set the column to ascending, regardless what it's currently set to.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I discovered the numbers of the fields changed. It used to be that the field numbers were by visible fields. It now appears that the SortByNumeric is by the actual column number, regardless if it displays or not.

All working, now.
