Format
sorttextEx(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 sensitive to case. The case-insensitive version is sorttext().
Note
Uppercase letters are lower in the alphabetical order than lowercase letters.
switch(sorttextEx("a","B"))
if(1) world << "ascending"
if(-1)world << "descending"
if(0) world << "neither"This outputs, “descending”, since “B” comes before “a” in the alphabet.
Note
This proc used to be named
sortText, likesorttextbut with a capital T. To avoid confusion it has been renamed, but old code will still compile.
