[REQ] Array Sort Native

**Brad** · **Author**

Please add a native to sort arrays. ASort() comes to mind as a generic name. Perhaps with an option for case sensitivity.

What do you mean by "sort"? (just for reference)

**Brad** · 02-02-2006 , 15:59

Alphabetize in the case of strings. Maybe "order" would have been a better term than "sort".

Give an example of how it could work. I'm not getting it still.

1.sort
2.reverse sort
3.sort (maintain index assoc)
4.reverse sort (maintain index assoc)
5.sort by keys
6.reverse sort by keys

I have implemented a comprehensive sorting solution for AMX Mod X. It takes into account most major uses, and then provides custom sorting wrappers.

On a side note, it's rare that I'm fully pleased with code I write. But the solution I ended with came out very efficient and clever for the restrictions I had. These will be the first natives to accept and modify 2D arrays, as it turns out it's not an easy task.

You can see this in revision 2947. See "sorting.inc" for more information, and "sorttest.sma" for examples.
