I formatted the sortKeys as I would an SQL query or an LC sort, but then I
needed to isolate the key from the parameters because I couldn’t assume the
sort key was simply the first word.

I used a short, one-dimensional numbered array:
put the weekdayNames into tDataA
split tDataA by cr
simpleSortNumberedArray tDataA, "descending,text"
But as Alex explained, one dimension wasn't enough.

Got it, thanks. The array was numbered but I didn't have enough dimensions.

I couldn't get this to work until I altered it, but I was using a very
simple array. What type of array data did you use? I think I'm

I see you are sorting the keys of the array. I’ll give your method a try.

Thanks Alex, not sure how I missed that. I was only testing for a specific use

Absolutely I have needed that quite often now. I tend to use sequences
(numbered arrays) often - maybe too often.
Up until now
Has anyone come across a need to sort a numbered array by the values of the
different keys? Here you go. Keep in mind that there is no error checking so I
have no idea what would happen if you provided a sort key that didn’t exist in
the array.
on sortNumberedArray @pArrayDataA, pSortKeys
10 matches
