| ArgumentException | The value specified was SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder. That sort type is not supported. |
Remarks
The sort type can be set only on a new item. The only change from the default sort type that is supported applies SPFileSystemObjectType.File to folder list items, a change that causes folders to sort as if they were files.
