sort

Sorts lists and record fields.

sort(xs:list|record) -> list|record

Description​

The sort function takes either a list or record as input, ordering lists by value and records by their field name.

xs: list|record​

The list or record to sort.

Examples​

Sort values in a list​

from {xs: [1, 3, 2]}
xs = xs.sort()
{xs: [1, 2, 3]}

Sort a record by its field names​

from {a: 1, c: 3, b: {y: true, x: false}}
this = this.sort()
{a: 1, b: {y: true, x: false}, c: 3}

Observe that the nested record is not sorted. Use b = b.sort() to sort it manually.
