sortString

sortString​

Sorts a DataSet list field as strings.

Parameters

  • dmName (String): The DataSet name (DM name)
  • responseKey (String): The field path within the list to sort by (e.g. "list.name")
  • asc (String): The sort direction
    • "ascending" — ascending order
    • "descending" — descending order
    • "origin" — restore the original order

Returns: None (void)

Description

Sorts the DataSet's list using string comparison. Sorting a numeric field this way compares the values as strings, which may not produce the order you expect — use sortNumber for numeric fields.

Example

$vm.sortString("stock", "list.name", "ascending");
