ApplyLayout
This item is deprecated. Do not use it for new work.
The ApplyLayout method forces sibling UI elements to be re-laid out in case the sorting criteria may have changed (such as when UIGridStyleLayout/SortOrder is set to Custom, and the UIGridStyleLayout/SetCustomSortFunction behavior changed). Re-layouts automatically happen when UI elements are added/removed, or their Instance/Name or GuiObject/LayoutOrder change.
The manner in which sibling UI elements are laid out is dependent on the implementation of this abstract class. In other words, a concrete class like UIListLayout or UIGridLayout is responsible for the actual element positioning.

Code Samples
UI Sort Order
This code sample demonstrates sorting data using UIGridStyleLayout/SortOrder and GuiObject/LayoutOrder.
-- Place in a script in a UIListLayout
local uiGridLayout = script.Parent
-- Some data to work with
local scores = {
["Player1"] = 2048;
["Ozzypig"] = 1337;
["Shedletsky"] = 1250;
["Builderman"] = 1000;
}
-- Build a scoreboard
for name, score in pairs(scores) do
local tl = Instance.new("TextLabel")
tl.Text = name .. ": " .. score
tl.Parent = script.Parent
tl.LayoutOrder = -score -- We want higher scores first, so negate for descending order
tl.Name = name
tl.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
tl.Parent = uiGridLayout.Parent
end
while true do
-- The name is the player's name
uiGridLayout.SortOrder = Enum.SortOrder.Name
uiGridLayout:ApplyLayout()
wait(2)
-- Since we set the LayoutOrder to the score, this will sort by descending score!
uiGridLayout.SortOrder = Enum.SortOrder.LayoutOrder
uiGridLayout:ApplyLayout()
wait(2)
end
