sortInitiative() Function

Note: This function can only be used in a Trusted Macro

• Introduced in version 1.3b41

Sorts the Initiative Panel Tokens and returns the number of Tokens in the Initiative Panel.

The Default sort order is descending, with any non-numeric values coming after any numbers, and any blank values coming last.
Since 1.8: If the reverseOrder parameter is 1, this order is reversed - blank values come first, and any non-numeric strings (in ascending lexical order) come before numbers (in ascending order).

Usage

sortInitiative()
sortInitiative(reverseOrder)

Parameters

reverseOrder - Since 1.8. Whether the list should be sorted in Reverse (ascending) order - defaults to false (0)

Example

Examples showing each sort order:

	Default Order	Reverse Order
Command	`sortInitiative()` `sortInitiative(0)`	`sortInitiative(1)`
Result

Version Changes

1.3b41 - Added function.
1.8 - Added optional param to control the order used when sorting
