Reverse Sort Order for ItemSort
Keywords: ItemSort Example
Question:
Is it possible to have ItemSort do a reverse sort of the list, ordering things from largest to smallest?Answer:
Sorry no.This might help getting a reverse sort...
List="apple fred bannana togas pineapple zuchinni meatloaf"
listA=ItemSort(list," ")
askItemList("Normal Sort",listA," ",@unsorted,@single)
count=ItemCount(ListA," ")
ListB=""
for xx=count to 1 by -1
Item=ItemExtract(xx,ListA," ")
if xx==count then ListB=Item
else ListB=Strcat(ListB," ",Item)
next
askItemList("Reverse Sort",listB," ",@unsorted,@single)
Reply
Thanks! That does the trick in this case (and probably most others).
