Sort

Sorts an array of primitive values in ascending order.

Signature

Sort(array arr)

Parameters

• arr (array): The array to sort.

Returns

• array: A new sorted array.

Description

Returns a new array. The original is not modified. Elements are sorted by type group, then by value within each group:

1. null values (first)
2. Numbers (ascending)
3. Strings (ordinal/lexicographic)
4. Booleans (false before true)

Mixed-type elements within the same group maintain their relative order. For sorting arrays of objects by a field, use SortByField.

Examples

var a = Sort([5, 2, 8, 1, 9])
# a = [1, 2, 5, 8, 9]

var b = Sort(["cherry", "apple", "banana"])
# b = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

# Mixed types
var c = Sort([null, "zebra", 5, "apple", 1, true, false])
# c = [null, 1, 5, "apple", "zebra", false, true]

# Original unchanged
var original = [3, 1, 2]
var sorted = Sort(original)
# original = [3, 1, 2]
