Class Overview
This is the generic sort interface to represent the information shared by all types of sorts. Most sort types implement two interfaces: this interface and another type-specific interface, but for types EnumDSSXMLSortType.DssXmlSortSubtotalsPosition and EnumDSSXMLSortType.DssXmlSortGroupByMetric, this is the only interface available.

Public Methods
public abstract int getKey ()
Returns the key of current sort object, which is used to look up the sort in the sorts collection. This has nothing to do with the sort-key.
Returns
- A key can be used to look up a sort in the sorts collection.
public abstract int getPosition ()
Returns the position of current sort object in the sorts collection.
Returns
- The position (1-based) of current sort object in the sorts collection.
public abstract boolean getRespectParent ()
Returns the Respect Parent flag
public abstract int getSortType ()
Returns the sort type of this sort object. The sort type only can be specified on creation time.
Returns
- The sort type, values from
EnumDSSXMLSortType.
public abstract int getSubtotalsPosition ()
Returns the position of subtotals in sorted result. The possible value are in EnumDSSXMLSubtotalsPosition. Default
is EnumDSSXMLSubtotalsPosition.DssSubtotalsPositionInherit
Returns
- The position of subtotals in sorted result, values from
EnumDSSXMLSubtotalsPosition.
