Does any one aware of sort ??

Question

Hi, 
 BELOW Is SORT where we used 
 a!save(local!a, 
 index(sort(somevalue)),1,Null)

Now after upgrading im getting error in interface invalid function {"SORT"}

WHAT is the replacement of SORT NOW

Nilanshu · Answer

Sort() is an undocumented function and should not be used. Instead, you can convert your data into a data subset using todatasubset() function and then use the sort parameter in the paging info using a!sortinfo.

For your reference: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.4/fnc_scripting_todatasubset.html#examples

The sort function is not documented by Appian and is not recommended for use in your code. Instead, adding to what Nilanshu said you can use todatasubset() function to sort your data by providing sortInfo, eg : a!localVariables(
 local!array: { 1, 11, 9, 2, 7, 0 },
 local!fieldArray: a!forEach(
 items: local!array,
 expression: a!map(id: fv!item)
 ),
 local!datasubset: fn!todatasubset(
 arrayToPage: local!fieldArray,
 pagingConfiguration: a!pagingInfo(
 startIndex: 1,
 batchSize: - 1,
 sort: a!sortInfo(field: "id", ascending: true)
 )
 ),
 local!datasubset.data.id
) Additionally, if your 'somevalue' only contains integers/dates, the min() function would be a more efficient alternative in this scenario.
