Sort Array Alphabetically (Solved)

Is it possible to sort the contents of an array alphabetically using events? If not, can this action be added to the array object? All I've been able to find is numerical sorting.

I've been after this too - eventually I started on a system that transferred all the letters to a number value using expressions, but realised it would take more work than I was willing to do for it. Let me know if you find something!

The built in Array.Sort does support strings.

lol oh..I didn't think about it that way ^^; Be right back.

Edit: Yep that works.

Well aren't I feeling silly ^^ Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hm. Looks like it only sorts the first Z dimension. I need to sort the X axis on all dimensions individually. Is this possible? (I suppose I could use multiple arrays instead but I'd rather just use the one.)

Have you tried for each xyz?

Yeah it doesn't change anything.

Try CSV ( or CVS ) object. You could try transfering data from array, sort it and the return it to array sorted.

Thats because Construct 2 "runs" in the direction x -> some y -> even more z

sorting by x will move x, y and z (because it checks for array.at(index) when sorting)

sorting by y will move y and z and leave x in place

sorting by z will move z and leave x and y at place

so to do what you want, use x as your page index and y and z as your 2 dimensional data table. (you can create a new array and fill it with for each xyz oldarray: set newarray at(oldarray.curz,oldarray.curx,pldarray.cury) to oldarray.curvalue

Interesting. Well I thought it worked perfectly at first but now it sorts some axes I don't want :T Hm.

Edit: Decided to use multiple arrays in a family. Works just as well :)
