RE: Sorting a string alphabetically.
You could covert it to a structure and then sort it. Example convert it to an array then use ArraySort Then if you still need the list, convert it back to a list format. -Original Message- From: Darren Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 8:46 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Sorting a string alphabetically.

RE: Sorting a string alphabetically.
Try ListSort() Extract of help text ListSort Sorts and delimits the items in a list according to the specified sort type and sort order. Note ColdFusion ignores empty list elements; thus, a list that is defined as a,b,c,,,d is treated as a four element list not as a six element list. Syntax ListSort(list, sort_type [, sort_order] [, delimiter ]) list List to be sorted. The items in the list must be separated by commas or otherwise delimited. sort_type The type of sort to be executed. You can specify any of the following sort types: Numeric - sorts numbers. Text - sorts text alphabetically. Textnocase - sorts text alphabetically. The case is ignored. sort_order The order to be followed. You can specify any of the following: Asc - (Default) Ascending sort order. Desc - Descending sort order. delimiter Specify the character(s) used to delimit elements in the list. Default is comma ( , ). Example !--- This example shows how to use ListSort--- HTML HEAD TITLEListSort Example/TITLE /HEAD BODY H3ListSort Example/H3 !--- Find a list of users who wrote messages --- CFQUERY NAME=GetMessageUser DATASOURCE=cfsnippets SELECT Username, Subject, Posted FROM Messages /CFQUERY CFSET myList = ValueList(GetMessageUser.UserName) PHere is the unsorted list. /P CFOUTPUT #myList# /CFOUTPUT PHere is the list sorted alphabetically:/P CFSET sortedList = ListSort(myList, Text) CFOUTPUT #sortedList# /CFOUTPUT PHere is a numeric list that is to be sorted in descending order./P CFSET sortedNums = ListSort(12,23,107,19,1,65,Numeric, Desc) CFOUTPUT #sortedNums# /CFOUTPUT PHere is a list that must be sorted numerically, since it contains both negative and positive numbers, as well as decimal numbers. /P CFSET sortedNums2 = ListSort(23.75;-34,471:100,-9745,Numeric, ASC, ;,:) CFOUTPUT #sortedNums2# /CFOUTPUT PHere is a list that is to be sorted alphabetically without consideration of case./P CFSET sortedMix = ListSort(hello;123,HELLO:jeans,-345,887;ColdFusion:coldfusion, TextNoCase, ASC, ;,:) CFOUTPUT #sortedMix# /CFOUTPUT /BODY /HTML -Original Message- From: Darren Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 December 2001 13:46 To: CF-Talk Subject: Sorting a string alphabetically.

Good, I just couldn't remember if it went back that far. I had the old 4.5 docs and it was in there.
