====== SORTED event ======

 


 
==== Description ====
 
This event takes the same parameters as passed to the SORT method.  This event is fired before any sorting takes place, thereby giving you the chance to modify the criteria or options, or even prevent it by using the Set_EventStatus() function.  All event script and QuickEvent handlers are processed before sorting.
