NotesViewEntryCollection.clone() fails

A fundamental method of NotesViewEntryCollection appears to fail.

 

It's the clone method. I intended to use this as a part of a strategy to transform a procedurally-oriented dev environment into an OO environment.

 

 

Option Declare

 
Const VIEW_NAME = "(Lookup - Status)"
Sub Initialize
 
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim thisDb As NotesDatabase
 
Set thisDb = session.Currentdatabase
 
Dim view As NotesView
Set view = thisDb.Getview(VIEW_NAME)
 
Dim nvec0 As NotesViewEntryCollection
dim nvec1 As NotesViewEntryCollection
 
Set nvec0 = view.allEntries()
 
MsgBox "nvec0 has " & nvec0.Count & " entries"
MsgBox "UNID of first entry in nvec0: " & nvec0.GetFirstEntry().Universalid
 
Set nvec1 = nvec0.clone()
 
MsgBox "nvec1 has " & nvec1.Count & " entries"

'// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

'// This fails as the getFirstEntry method returns Nothing

'// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

MsgBox "UNID of first entry in nvec1: " & nvec1.GetFirstEntry().Universalid
 
End Sub

 

Anyone else seen this/have a workaround?

More info

The merge() method of NotesViewEntryCollection works mostly correctly. SO you can get a distinct NotesViewEntryCollection object by creating an empty NotesViewEntryCollection and merging another NotesViewEntryCollection with it. However, the sort order of the destination NotesViewCollection seems to be lost, so it is a partial solution.
