```
public static final SortDirection ASCENDING
```
    Sort in ascending order (e.g. A-Z; larger values later in the list)
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "ascending".
  - DESCENDING
```
public static final SortDirection DESCENDING
```
    Sort in descending order (e.g. Z-A; larger values earlier in the list)
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "descending".

```
public static SortDirection[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (SortDirection c : SortDirection.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static SortDirection valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
