$$ Description
$$ GetOrder
$$ <string:name>\\
$$ //object://**[[vector|Vector]]** 
$$ Returns a **[[vector|Vector]]** of strings representing the current sort order of files in the folder. If multiple manual sort orders have been defined, you can provide the name of a specific sort order as an argument to this method. If called with no arguments it returns the current sort order by default.
$$ SetOrder
$$ <**[[vector|Vector]]**:order>\\
<string:name>
$$ //none//
$$ You can pass this method a **[[vector|Vector]]** of strings to change the sort order of the current folder. You can optionally provide the name of a sort order as the second parameter if you’ve got more than one sort order defined.\\
$$ ResetOrder
$$ <string:name>
$$ //none//
$$ Resets the manual sort order to the currently selected sort order (e.g. if the file display header indicates that it is sorted by name, **ResetOrder** would reset to filename order). You can optionally provide the name of a sort order as the second parameter if you’ve got more than one sort order defined.
