sort_list()

Returns a new list with members of a given list in sorted order. If the compare function is not given and the list is homogeneous, a built-in function will be applied if:

• List has only integer values, or
• List has only real values, or
• List has only string values, or
• List has only list values where each list is comparable on a value by value basis (has the same structure of integer, real, string, and list members).

For other cases, a compare() function must be supplied. The compare() function is called with two member values as the argument and must return a value greater than, equal to, or less than zero, depending on whether the first member is greater than, equal to, or less than the second member. If the first argument is not a list, the function fails and reports an error.

Syntax:

sort_list(list, [, func]);

where

list is a list to be sorted.

func is optional. Address of function to perform member comparison.

Example:

This example redefines l to the list 1, 2, 3, 4, 9.

decl l = list(2, 4, 1, 3, 9);
defun my_compare(first, second)
{
    decl neg;
    if (first < second)
        neg = -1;
    else if (first > second)
        neg = 1;
    else 
        neg = 0;
    return (neg);
}
l = sort_list(l, my_compare);
