Attributes

Entity	The Data structure entity to sort.
Field	The Field to be sorted in the selected entity. You need to enter a name of the field because there are no fields to select when AllFields = True.
SortDirection	If you need the data to be sorted after it has been loaded from the database (only used by the data service), you can specify a sort rule here. Ascending: Data will be sorted by this column in an ascending order. Descending: Data will be sorted by this column in a descending order.
SortOrder	If there is more than one sorted column in the same data structure entity, you can specify the order in which they will be sorted. By putting numbers (1, 2, 3) in the sorted columns, you define the sort order.
