OutwardDateSort Command |
|
Use the OutwardDateSort command in a Logic Template to sort results from closest to a defined base date and time to furthest from that date and time, using a field containing date-time values. The date-time values are sorted using the absolute value of the difference between each date and time and the defined base date and time. Sorting granularity is one minute.
To execute a Outward Date-Time Sort request, use the OutwardDateSort command with three arguments:
OutwardDateSort( fld, trgt, pas );
