json.sort() Function
• Introduced in version 1.3b51
Used to sort JSON arrays. If the array contains only numbers, they are sorted numerically; otherwise, the values are sorted as strings alphabetically.
Usage
json.sort(array)json.sort(array, direction)If you have a JSON Array that contains JSON Objects
json.sort(array, direction, key1, ..., keyN)Parameters
array- The JSON array to sort.direction- Defaults to"ascending", acceptable values:"ascending""descending""ascend""descend""asc""desc""a""d"
key1, ..., keyN- The keys in the JSON Objects contained within the JSON Array used for sorting. All JSON Objects must contain these fields.
Examples
Sorting a JSON Array containing numbers.
[json.sort("[1,4,5,6,2,1,9,20,1]")]Produces [1,1,1,2,4,5,6,9,20]
Sorting a JSON Array containing strings.
[json.sort("['Hero', 'Dragon', 'Elf', 'Wolf', 'Mage', 'Eagle', 'Troll']")]Produces ["Dragon","Eagle","Elf","Hero","Mage","Troll","Wolf"]
Sorting a mixture of numbers and strings (all will be treated as string).
[json.sort("['Hero', 3, 'Elf', 'Wolf', 100, 'Eagle', 'Troll']")]Produces [100,3,"Eagle","Elf","Hero","Troll","Wolf"]
Sorting objects by a single string key
[h:vals = '[ {name:"Hero", HP:10},
{name:"Wolf", HP:5},
{name:"Mage", HP:20},
{name:"Troll", HP:15},
{name:"Eagle", HP:5} ]']
[json.sort(vals, "a", "name")]Produces
[{"name":"Eagle","HP":5},{"name":"Hero","HP":10},{"name":"Mage","HP":20},{"name":"Troll","HP":15},{"name":"Wolf","HP":5}]
Sorting objects by a single numeric key
[h:vals = '[ {name:"Hero", HP:10},
{name:"Wolf", HP:5},
{name:"Mage", HP:20},
{name:"Troll", HP:15},
{name:"Eagle", HP:5} ]']
[json.sort(vals, "a", "HP")]Produces
[{"name":"Wolf","HP":5},{"name":"Eagle","HP":5},{"name":"Hero","HP":10},{"name":"Troll","HP":15},{"name":"Mage","HP":20}]
Sorting objects by a two keys, first HP then Name.
[h:vals = '[ {name:"Hero", HP:10},
{name:"Wolf", HP:5},
{name:"Mage", HP:20},
{name:"Troll", HP:15},
{name:"Eagle", HP:5} ]']
[json.sort(vals, "a", "HP", "name")]Produces
[{"name":"Eagle","HP":5},{"name":"Wolf","HP":5},{"name":"Hero","HP":10},{"name":"Troll","HP":15},{"name":"Mage","HP":20}]
