InitSorting(
 mixed page = false,
 string by_var = "by",
 string order_var = "order"
)

The function InitSorting initialises parameters of sorting stored in the session, if the sorting was not explicitly specified. If the sorting is explicitly specified the function stores parameters of sorting in the session.

Note
The function handles variables of the global scope. Take it into account when creating the main component files.
