hi everybody,
i have textfile like
1 this; 4 my; 3 is; 10 file;
and i would like to put it into numerical order, so that the final result is
1 this; 3 is; 4 my; 10 list;
the only possibility i found was a recursive use of "minmax", but i have huge lists and then it is very cpu-expensive. is there any object for numerical ordering or something shorter than using "minmax"? thanks for hints.
best mirko

[m_symbolarray] in the rj library can do this. It's a kind of array or [table] that stores symbols instead of numbers.

Another answer: You can also avoid the unnecessary (for your task) complex [m_symbolarray] if you use data structures directly as in the attached example. Unfortunatly creating scalars with symbol-fields is not directly possible with [append] - at least not in 0.42 - so I had to do the additional work of using [set -symbol ...]
