FUNCTIONS

sort

Usage:

 sort(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Sort items.

By default sort ascibetically, unless "numeric" is set to true to sort numerically.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

ci => bool (default: 0)
Whether to ignore case.
in => array
Input stream (e.g. array or filehandle).
key_element => uint
Sort using an array element.

If specified, "sort" will assume the item is an array and will sort using the <key_element>'th element (zero-based) as key. If an item turns out to not be an array, the item itself is used as key.
numeric => bool (default: 0)
Whether to sort numerically.
out => any
Output stream (e.g. array or filehandle).
random => bool (default: 0)
Whether to sort by random.
reverse => bool (default: 0)
Whether to reverse sort result.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
