Hi all,
It is amazing how we take things for granted. Most programming
languages provide some sort of list sorting function/method.
Surprisingly (or not) pd does not (or my search skills are null, or I
am not bleeding edge enough). I needed a solution that works with a
vanilla pd.
I was almost going to do the academia move and announce a pd exam, and
have little pd-bees come up with a solution but I needed it *now* else
I would not sleep or have terrible nightmares. So here it is. Thank
heavens (but give your offerings to fbar's footils shrine) for
list-abs.
Busy pd-bees, should you care to improve on my solution, please be my
guest, I am sure there are better ways of accomplishing this trivial
task. In any case, go forth and sort the world around (or within)
you.
