ASO.Array Sort Order

Sort Array Elements

 

 

Intention

 

This command is used to sort arrays or collections. The sorting can be done in ascending or descending order, depending on the specification of parameter P2.

Sorting will not work for elements stored as floating-point or integer using "i" or "f" options because these are stored binary, but only for string arrays.

 

 

Syntax

 

 

ASO.P1[|P2]

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

P1 - The collection identifier, typically a numeric value or a variable that contains a number from 0 to 1024/1025 to 2048.

P2 - (optional)  0 or 1;  
       "0" - ascending Sort,

         "1" - descending Sort

 

 

 

Example
