# DESCENDING

Specifies the sort direction (ascending or descending) for a dialog element. The value of this attribute is only meaningful and effective if the dialog element's SORTED attribute is also set to TRUE.

In the case of list view controls, this attribute determines whether new items are inserted in ascending or descending sequence based on their labels.

For list view columns, this attribute returns TRUE if the column header is currently displaying a descending sort indicator, or FALSE otherwise. In this case, it does not necessarily imply that the column's data is currently in sorted sequence, because new items may have been added, or the values of existing items may have been changed, since the sort on the column was performed.

Applies to | List view control, list view column.
