Sort List

Use Sort List with the ordered inputs below.

Where to find it

Set Variable → Operations → Choose Operation → List. Requires Dev access to configure, then a successful compile to activate.

Inputs

Input	Type	Role	Requirement	Default / constraint
Result	List	Variable binding	Required	Required
Source List	List	Value	Required	Required

Options and tags

Option	Default	Choices
Sort Order	Ascending	Ascending, Descending

These choices belong to the operation configuration, not additional positional arguments.

Result and behavior

Stores the result in the first configured destination Variable. Its type must match the result and any generic element/key types.

Configuration example

Block: Set Variable → Operations
Operation: Sort List
Result: Private List<T> result
Source List: a declared List containing two compatible elements

Use this as an editor configuration: declare any Variables/collections first and choose real locations/eligible targets for your plot. It is not pasteable source code.

Restrictions and troubleshooting

Initialize the collection first. Element/key/value declarations are invariant. Reference inputs share mutable contents; choose a copy mode when isolation is required. List indices begin at 1; unsuccessful index searches return 0.

Runtime validation: Sort List requires Number or String elements.
