Array Sorting - Ascending or descending order

#1 · December 7, 2020, 7:26 am

Hello Geeks,

One array is created with CreateEmptyArray Command and array is being populated using the following command.

CreateEmptyArray [citationsperpaper]

Loop 1 [serial] [lpsc]

jsPrompt "Enter Citation Count" "Coitation Count in Numbers" [ccount]

ArrayAddItem [citationsperpaper] [ccount]

Endloop

Now the Array contains values...like 22, 65, 31, 111, 09, 08, 10 depending on [serial] variable. I tried 'ArrayAlphaSort' and 'ArrayNumsort' but no way getting the order as highest value to lowest value as,

111
65
31
22
10
09
08

Any help is appreciated.

@sghoshnbu try this:

BeginJS
 $App.citationsperpaper=$App.citationsperpaper.sort(function(a, b){return b-a});
EndJS
