The sort task sorts the elements of a given array and returns the sorted array. The default sort order is ascending (A to Z, 0 to 9). This task modifies the position of elements in the original array.
Use sort to arrange a list of names in alphabetical order, sort a collection of dates numerically, or order any array of numbers, strings, or objects.
In this example:
arr is statically set to [{"name":"cat"},{"name":"dog"},{"name":"hamster"},{"name":"ant"},{"name":"Lion"}]. Note that "Lion" begins with an uppercase letter.key is name and limit is 4.reverse is false (default — ascending order).
The result is ascending order, with "Lion" listed first because uppercase letters sort before lowercase letters.
In this example:
arr is statically set to [{"car":"Audi"},{"car":"Volvo"},{"car":"Honda"},{"car":"BMW"}]. All names begin with uppercase letters.key is car and limit is left blank.reverse is false (default — ascending order).
The result is alphabetical (ascending) order.
In this example:
arr is statically set to ["ant","bee","Cat","dog","Elephant"]. The values mix lowercase and uppercase.key and limit are left blank.reverse is true (descending order).
The result is descending order, with all lowercase values in reverse alphabetical order followed by the uppercase values.
