SortCriteria Property
Sorts criteria to use for message retrieval operations.
Syntax
[VB.NET] Public Property SortCriteria As String
[C#] public string SortCriteria {get; set;}
Remarks
This property sorts criteria to use for message retrieval operations. When set, the component will send the SORT command to the server before any retrieval. If the server supports the SORT command, the results from the fetch operation will be sorted according to SortCriteria. The format of the SortCriteria property consists of a parenthesized list of one or more sort keys.
Example (Setting SortCriteria)
IMAPControl.SortCriteria = "DATE" IMAPControl.SortCriteria = "SUBJECT FROM" IMAPControl.SortCriteria = "REVERSE SUBJECT"
Possible sort keys include:
| ARRIVAL | Internal date and time of the message. |
| DATE | The value of the message's DATE header, adjusted by time zone |
| CC | The value of the message's CC header. |
| FROM | The value of the message's FROM header. |
| SUBJECT | The value of the message's SUBJECT header. |
| TO | The value of the message's TO header. |
| SIZE | The size of the message |
| REVERSE <criterion> | Followed by another sort criterion, has the effect of that criterion but in reverse (descending) order |
Please note that IMAP SORT functionality is relatively new and not all servers may implement it.
