Format

sorttext(T1,T2,...)

Args

Any number of text strings to sort.

Returns

  • 1 if text is ascending
  • -1 if text is descending
  • 0 otherwise

This instruction is NOT sensitive to case. The case sensitive version is sorttextEx().

switch(sorttext("A","B"))
  if(1) world << "ascending"
  if(-1)world << "descending"
  if(0) world << "neither"

This outputs “ascending”, since “A” comes before “B” in the alphabet.
