Christian, I *think* that the intent was to pass an ordered collection from process to process. i.e. - process 1 order the data in whatever manner is desired. - pass the collection from process 1 to process 2 - process 2 receive the ordered collection and do stuff with it, in the order in which it was passed -- without -- having to know the specifics of the ordering.
All of that said... and me with NO use of collections or objects (I'm still in v13) could you: - create your collection - add a property to the collection which defines the desired ordering - pass collection to secondary process - use the collection's 'order' property to order the collection as desired. it does not 'pass an ordered collection', but it comes close; and would allow a generic routine on the receiving end to execute the ordering.
