"Ascending" property on the SORT gets lost

Phenomenon:

If you add an "Ascending" option to the SORT script, this option gets lost.

Scenario:

Do a SORT() to a DataWindow like follows:

STRING ls_sort

ls_sort = "COLUMN_NAME A"

dw_dwcontrol.SetSort(ls_sort)

dw_dwcontrol.Sort()

ls_sort = dw_dwcontrol.Describe("DataWindow.Table.Sort")

This will return ls_sort = "COLUMN_NAME" without the "A" for Ascending at the end.

Workaround:

Use only lower case letters on the SORT condition. Like follows:

STRING ls_sort

ls_sort = "column_name a"

dw_dwcontrol.SetSort(ls_sort)

dw_dwcontrol.Sort()

ls_sort = dw_dwcontrol.Describe("DataWindow.Table.Sort")

This should return ls_sort = "column_name a" without loosing the "A" for Ascending.
