This would be a piece of cake with the scripting components. But
without them I think yor best shot is to use the Sort component:
- You have 2 lists of data {A, B} both of equal length {N}.
- You generate 2 lists of numbers {X, Y}, using the Series or Range
components.
{X} = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 .... (2*N - 2)
{Y} = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 .... (2*N - 1)
- You combine {A} and {B} into a single parameter, appending {B} to
{A}, giving you {C}
- You combine {X} and {Y} into a single parameter, appending {Y} to
{X}, giving you {Z}
{Z} = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ... (2*N-2), 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, ....(2*N-1)
- You sort {Z}, while synchronously sorting {C}, and the output of C
is the weaved list.
