Array.sort() doesn't work for string arrays

@ustk said in Array.sort() doesn't work for string arrays:

I've made a pull request after adding Array.sortNatural() API.
It allows sorting strings, conventional numbers, strings containing numbers with a number priority, and objects (treated as string object name).
You can also sort a mix of all the types

this never worked for me and still doesnt...

@Lindon I made a video about sorting arrays, might be of help

oh I can sort array no problem - but it would be nice if this was available..

[ustk]

@Lindon Hmmm that's very strange because I am using currently everywhere in the current project and it works like a charm, at least for strings..

Although for objects, I've made a confusion and should've been more precise... It is not sorting json objects, but object reference names like Object 0x65de8a18 that are treated as string, which is of no use...

I make my own functions for sorting json, and it's just a real pain every single time... I wish there was a straight solution for this task...

[Lindon]

@ustk can you give me an example of your usage?

[ustk]

@Lindon

var stringArray = ["f", "a", "z"];
stringArray.sortNatural(); // ["a", "f", "z"]

[Lindon]

@ustk hmm, yeah I get hanging update errors...dont worry about it I will continue with my home grown sort..

What is the Meaning of This?
dangling listener

It happens once I Check the plugin Parameters Names using Tools / Validate Plugin Parameters!
