Sort a list from smallest to largest.
Input Fields
- list - The list you want to sort.
- path - If list is a list of objects, path is the name of the key to sort the objects by or a path if the object contains other objects (e.g. “customer.lastname”); otherwise, you can leave path blank.
Output Fields
- sorted list - The list sorted from smallest to largest.
NOTE: Numbers will sort differently if you are using a list of text versus a list of numbers (or if the chosen key of the object is text versus a number). In numeric sort order 9 comes before 80, but in alphabetical sort order “80” comes before “9”. If you need to convert from string to number, use Sort Custom instead where you call a child Flow to specify the value to use for each item.
To sort by more than one key, use multiple Sort cards in a row, ending with the Sort using the primary key. To sort from largest to smallest, use Reverse after Sort. To do more complicated sorts, use the Sort Custom function which calls a child Flow to determine the value to sort each item by.
Examples
If list is [9,80,20,1] then _sorted list_ is [1,9,20,80] - number order for numbers
If list is ["9","80","20","1"] then _sorted list_ is ["1","20","80","9"] - alphabetic order for lists of text
If list is [{"name":"Nicole","value":10}, {"name":"Sarah","value":20}, {"name":"Emily","value":30}] and path is “name” then sorted list is: [{"name":"Emily","value":30}, {"name":"Nicole","value":10}, {"name":"Sarah","value":20}] - objects alphabetically sorted using name.
