CRecordset/m_strFilter/m_strSort

[mpsoutine]

Hi All,

I'm new to DB programming. I have an AddRecord() method in my GuestListSet class. I am following someone elses code.

QUESTION: What is the purpose of m_strFilter and m_strSort when adding information into a DB?

Here is the AddRecord() method

int CGuestSet::AddRecord(LPCTSTR Text1, LPCTSTR Text2)
{


// Locate new unique ID
if( IsOpen() )
Close();

m_strSort="MyID DESC";
m_strFilter.Empty();


Open();

int NewID;
if( IsEOF() )
NewID = 1;
else
NewID = m_GuestID + 1;

// Place record in AddNew mode
AddNew();

// Populate members
m_GuestID = NewID;
m_FirstName = Text1;
m_LastName = Text2;

// Update
Update();

return( TRUE );


}

Not, they are being used to filter and order the rows in the Open() function.
