I have a question about 07.Sequencer patch in 4.data.structures, I see this message ; pd-data sort
what is of use it?
This sends the message "sort" to the automatically created receiver of the [pd data] subpatch, similar to [;pd-data clear(.
"sort" will sort the list of data items in the subpatch according to their x-position. Data items are stored as a linked list: Each item in this list contains the actual data and a reference to the next list item. So the traversal of the list in [pd data] normally depends on the order, the items were created. After "sort" the traversal happens according to x-position, as each list item's "next"-reference is updated to point to the next item to the right according to x-coordinate.
