SortArray
Description
It sorts the array variable and returns the result through the data output: it does not do in-place sorting, i.e. it does not modify the content of the array variable. Allowed array types are:
array:integer
array:float
array:double
array:struct
If an array of type array:struct
is sorted, then the Structure name
and Structure field name
by which it is sorted must also be specified.
There are also two options: whether Ascending/Descending sorting is desired and whether letter case is ignored if strings are sorted.
Properties
Specific
-
Array
EXPRESSION (array:any)
-
Array variable to be sorted.
-
Structure name
ObjectReference
-
Select the name of the structure here when the array is a variable of type
array:struct
. -
Structure field name
Enum
-
Select the name of the field to be sorted by if the array is a variable of type
array:struct
. -
Ascending
Boolean
-
Sorting mode selection (ascending if enabled, otherwise descending).
-
Ignore case
Boolean
-
Specifies whether letter case is ignored if strings are sorted or not.
General
-
Description
String
-
This is the description of the Action component. Description is displayed below the component in the Project editor/viewer. In the main toolbar, it is possible to hide or display descriptions of all components with one click.
Flow
-
Inputs
Array
-
Additional component inputs that the user can add as desired in order to use them to receive additional data needed when evaluating expressions in properties. Each input is given a name and type. Name is used when referencing an input within an expression. A type is used to project Check to check whether a data line that transmits data of that type is connected to the input or not.
-
Outputs
Array
-
Additional component outputs that the user can add to send data through. Each output is assigned a name and type. An example of using this output is e.g. in the Loop component, where we can put the output name for the
Variable
property instead of e.g. variable name. In that case, the Loop component will not change the content of the variable in each step, but will send the current value through that output. -
Catch error
Boolean
-
If this checkbox is enabled then an
@Error
output will be added to the component and if an error occurs in this component during the execution of the Flow, the Flow will continue through that output. The data that will be passed through that output is the textual description of the error.
Position and size
-
Align and distribute
Any
-
Alignment icons and component distribution. Alignment icons appear when two or more components are selected, and distribution icons appear when three or more components are selected.
Inputs
-
seqin
SEQ | OPTIONAL
-
A standard sequence input.
Outputs
-
seqout
SEQ | OPTIONAL
-
A standard sequence output.
-
result
DATA(any) | MANDATORY
-
Output through which the sorted array is passed.
