Set the order of the children in a generic object by using the SetChildArrayOrder method.
Example
Prerequisites steps are:
- Creation of a sheet
- Creation of children in the sheet (two list objects)
1. Create a sheet Sheet01. qChildListDef is set in the generic object definition in order to be able to retrieve the order of the children.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "CreateObject",
"handle": 1,
"params": [
{
"title": "Sheet 1",
"description": "Description of sheet 1",
"qInfo": {
"qId": "Sheet01",
"qType": "sheet"
},
"qChildListDef": {
"qData": {
"title": "/title",
"description": "/description",
"meta": "/meta",
"order": "/order",
"id": "/qInfo/qId",
"type": "/qInfo/qType",
"lb": "/qListObjectDef",
"hc": "/qHyperCubeDef"
}
}
}
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"qReturn": {
"qType": "GenericObject",
"qHandle": 2
},
"qInfo": {
"qId": "Sheet01",
"qType": "sheet"
}
},
"change": [
2
]
}
The sheet is created and its handle is 2.
2. Create a list object LB01. The list object contains one field Country (qFieldDefs is Country).
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "CreateChild",
"handle": 2,
"params": [
{
"qInfo": {
"qId": "ListObject01",
"qType": "ListObject"
},
"qListObjectDef": {
"qStateName": "$",
"qLibraryId": "",
"qDef": {
"qFieldDefs": [
"Country"
],
"qFieldLabels": [
"Country Label"
],
"qSortCriterias": [
{
"qSortByLoadOrder": 1
}
]
},
"qInitialDataFetch": [
{
"qTop": 0,
"qHeight": 1,
"qLeft": 0,
"qWidth": 1
}
]
}
}
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"result": {
"qReturn": {
"qType": "GenericObject",
"qHandle": 3
},
"qInfo": {
"qId": "ListObject01",
"qType": "ListObject"
}
},
"change": [
3
]
}
The list object ListObject01 is created and its handle is 3. It contains a list of countries.
3. Create a list object LB02. The list object contains one field CIty (qFieldDefs is City).
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 3,
"method": "CreateChild",
"handle": 2,
"params": [
{
"qInfo": {
"qId": "ListObject02",
"qType": "ListObject"
},
"qListObjectDef": {
"qStateName": "$",
"qLibraryId": "",
"qDef": {
"qFieldDefs": [
"City"
],
"qFieldLabels": [
"Country Label"
],
"qSortCriterias": [
{
"qSortByLoadOrder": 1
}
]
},
"qInitialDataFetch": [
{
"qTop": 0,
"qHeight": 1,
"qLeft": 0,
"qWidth": 1
}
]
}
}
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 3,
"result": {
"qReturn": {
"qType": "GenericObject",
"qHandle": 4
},
"qInfo": {
"qId": "ListObject02",
"qType": "ListObject"
}
},
"change": [
4
]
}
The list object ListObject02 is created and its handle is 4. It contains a list of cities.
4. Get the order of the children
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 4,
"method": "GetLayout",
"handle": 2,
"params": []
}
The engine returns:

qChildList lists the children in the sheet Sheet01. The first child is ListObject01 and the second child is ListObject02.
5. Update the order of the children. The handle of the request is 2 because the handle of the sheet is 2.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 5,
"method": "SetChildArrayOrder",
"handle": 2,

}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 5,
"result": {},
"change": [
2
]
}
The order of the children is changed. ListObject02 becomes the first child in the sheet.
6. Check that the order of the children has been updated
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 6,
"method": "GetLayout",
