/**

*  Sorting style for Content Listing Framework.

*  This class can be used to define primary and secondary sorting styles for

*  Content Listing Framework list model. Sorting styles are used to sort the

*  list model.<br><br>

*  Secondary sorting style is used to sort items that could not be sorted by

*  the primary sorting style. In other words, items that do not have the

*  field defined by primary or any previous secondary sorting style, the items

*  are sorted using the next secondary sorting style. When a secondary sorting

*  style is appended, it becomes the least significant sorting style until a

*  new one is added after it. Items with undefined fields are placed before or

*  after items with defined fields, depending on the undefined field position

*  setting in MCLFSortingStyle.

*  <br><br>

*  Usage:

*  @code

*  // Create a sorting style instance

*  MCLFSortingStyle* sortingStyle = ContentListingFactory::NewSortingStyleLC();

*

*  // Set sort ordering

*  sortingStyle->SetOrdering( ECLFOrderingDescending );

*

*  // Set undefied item position. Undefined items are items that doesn't

*  // have field that is defined in sorting style fields

*  sortingStyle->SetUndefinedItemPosition( ECLFSortingStyleUndefinedEnd );

*

*  // All sorting style parameter fields are string type

*  sortingStyle->SetSortingDataType( ECLFItemDataTypeDesC );

*

*  // Set default sorting parameter

*  sortingStyle->AddFieldL( ECLFFieldIdSongName );

*

*  // Set secondary sorting parameter

*  sortingStyle->AddFieldL( ECLFFieldIdFileName );

*

*  // If item doesn't have ECLFFieldIdSongName field then

*  // ECLFFieldIdFileName field is used to sort item.
