pub static sort: SortInternalTypeExpand description
Sorts an array of numbers from smallest to largest, or puts an array of words in alphabetical order. The original array is not modified; a re-ordered array is returned. The count parameter states the number of elements to sort. For example, if there are 12 elements in an array and count is set to 5, only the first 5 elements in the array will be sorted.
Examples
function setup() {
let words = ['banana', 'apple', 'pear', 'lime'];
print(words); // ['banana', 'apple', 'pear', 'lime']
let count = 4; // length of array
words = sort(words, count);
print(words); // ['apple', 'banana', 'lime', 'pear']
}function setup() {
let numbers = [2, 6, 1, 5, 14, 9, 8, 12];
print(numbers); // [2, 6, 1, 5, 14, 9, 8, 12]
let count = 5; // Less than the length of the array
numbers = sort(numbers, count);
print(numbers); // [1,2,5,6,14,9,8,12]
