SORT() items

SORT is a non-reducing string formatting and string sorting function. SORT works in the following manner:

1. For each non-String item, convert to a String using the implicit formatter for the type. NOTE: if specific formatting is preferred, it should be performed prior to sorting. For example, SORT(NUMBER($value, $anotherValue)).
2. Sort the String values and return the list of values.

To reiterate, all values emitted from a Sort will be String values. Therefore, if (e.g., numeric) type manipulation is needed, it must be performed prior to sorting.

Note: SORT() is a String-based sort. Therefore, it is not generally appropriate to sort numbers, since it will do so following number formatting.

SORT() options:

• order: "natural" or "reversed". Default is natural. Reverses sort order if "reversed".
• strength: sorting strength: "primary","secondary","tertiary","identical". The meanings of these are Locale-dependent.
  • primary: different base letters considered different (e.g., "a" vs. "b")
  • secondary: different accented forms considered different
  • tertiary: e.g.: case differences "a" vs "A"
  • identical: all character differences are considered unique
• decomposition: sorting decomposition: "none","full","canonical". For languages with accented characters, canonical or full decomposition should be used.
  • none: accented characters are not decomposed
  • canonical: decompose characters with canonical variants (form D)
  • full: decompose canonical variants and Unicode compatibility variants (form KD)
