int GetVarSortMode( String sVarName )
The return value is an integer identifying the sort mode for the specified variable in the DataObject. The predefined constants for the sort modes are SORTMODE_STANDARD, SORTMODE_FREQ, SORTMODE_FORMATTED, SORTMODE_DATA, SORTMODE_FREQRAW, and SORTMODE_DATARAW. If the variable has been assigned a custom ordering using the method DataObject.SetVarValueOrder, the return value is -1.
String sVarName

This method returns the sort mode for a variable. For information about sort modes, see DataObject.SetVarSortMode.
declare DataObject dobj;

dobj.SetVarSortMode( "X", SORTMODE_FREQ );
BarChart.Create( dobj, "X" );
sortmode = dobj.GetVarSortMode( "X" );
if sortmode = SORTMODE_FREQ then
print "Sorted by frequency";
