sortf

sort structure by field

Description

L sortf(X, i)

sortf(X, i) produces a sorted list of the values from the record, list or set, X.

List and record values in X are ordered by comparing the values of their ith fields. The value of i can be negative but not zero. Two structure values in X having equal ith fields are ordered as they would be in regular sorting, but structures lacking an ith field appear before structures having them.

Parameters

X: list, set or record
i: 1 based field number
L: sorted elements of X

Defaults

i: 1

Errors

101	i is not an integer
125	X is not list, set or record
205	i = 0
