Please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I have inherited this
app and I'm learning IBO from the sky to ground.

TIBOQuery has an OrderingItems property. I have one that is set with
the following string and similar in the list:
LOANACCOUNT=L.LoanNumber, LCA.Account;L.LoanNumber, LCA.Account DESC

It looks like the semicolon provides an option to switch from
ascending to descending order. How is this actually accomplished in
code?
