sortsub()

[DustyPorViva]

.sortsubascending(index)
.sortsubdescending(index)

Will sort an array from the index provided in the subarrays.

Example:
this.test = {{"one",1},{"five",5},{"three",3},{"four",4},{"two ",2}};

this.test.sortsubascending(1);

Will return:
this.test = {{"one",1},{"two",2},{"three",3},{"four",4},{"five ",5}};

I'm not exactly sure of the syntax, but I'd like to see some way for this to be easily done.

so basicly

temp.array.sortsubascending(index)
temp.array.sortsubdescending(index)

temp.array.subarray(index).sortascending()
temp.array.subarray(index).sortdescending()

Wouldn't something like that work?

Edit: Nevermind, Wouldn't work as I don't think they return anything..?

This kind of thing is possible if you use an array of TStaticVars and use sortbyvalue().

Quick Example:

PHP Code:

function OnCreated() {
  temp.test = {arrayMember("one", 1), arrayMember("five", 5), arrayMember("three", 3), arrayMember("four", 4), arrayMember("two", 2)};
  temp.test.sortbyvalue("num", null, true);  //Sorts the 'num' values by floating point value (ascending)
  
  for (temp.member: temp.test) {
    echo(temp.member.num SPC temp.member.text);
  }
}

function arrayMember(text, num) {
  temp.result = new TStaticVar();
  temp.result.text = temp.text;
  temp.result.num = temp.num;
  return temp.result;
} 


Result:

NPC Code:

---

1 one

2 two

3 three

4 four

5 five

If that did work, it would simply sort the data in the subarray. What I'm suggesting is a way to sort the array, from data within a subarray.

The easiest way to sort such arrays right now is to set an attribute of each array member (temp.array[i].sortvalue = temp.array[i][1]) and then use sortbyvalue (temp.array.sortbyvalue("sortvalue","int",true))
