sortStringsReverse
Sorts a list of strings in reverse-alphabetical order.
To sort in alphabetical order, use sortStrings instead.
Parameters
LIST (list, column, or row)
The list of strings to sort.
Notes
You can give a row or column instead of a list.
The function returns an error if the input data contains non-string values.
Examples
To sort a list of strings in reverse-alphabetical order:
ATL in Script | Printed Result |
|---|---|
[[
myList = makeList('Groucho', 'Harpo', 'Chico')
sortStringsReverse(myList)
]] | Harpo, Groucho and Chico |
Assume a "Describe the Table" project with this data:
ID | Branch | State | Manager | Sales | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Row 1 | 1001 | Pittsburgh | Pennsylvania | Andrew Gray | 478,745.37 |
Row 2 | 1002 | Boston | Massachusetts | Emma Moore | 329,493.49 |
Row 3 | 1003 | Los Angeles | California | Linda Barclay | 467,359.45 |
Row 3 | 1004 | Chicago | Illinois | Camilla Scott | 463,603.17 |
You can input a column variable to the first parameter:
ATL in Script | Printed Result |
|---|---|
| Pittsburgh, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago |
| Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston |
Note
In a "Describe Row in Context" project, the column variable would be BranchColumn.
