sort #

Sorts and returns elements contained in a list, a set of unique values or a sorted set.
By default, sorting is numeric and elements are compared by their value, interpreted as double precision floating point number.

Body:

{
  // optional arguments

Other protocols #

{
  "controller": "ms",
  "action": "sort",
  "_id": "<key>",
  "body": {
    "alpha": "[false|true]",
    "by": "<external key pattern>",
    "direction": "[ASC|DESC]",
    "get": ["pattern1", "pattern2", "..."],
    "limit": ["<offset>", "<count>"],
    "store": "<destination key>"
  }
}

Arguments #

• _id: list, set or sorted set key identifier

Body properties #

Optional: #

• alpha: perform an alphanumerical sort instead of a numeric one
• by: instead of sorting by values directly, sort by values contained in external keys, using a pattern completed by values of the list/set/sorted set to sort
• direction: sort in ascendant or descendant order
• get: instead of returning the sorted values directly, return the values contained in external keys, using patterns completed by the sorted values
• limit: limit the result set to a range of matching elements (similar to SELECT LIMIT offset, count in SQL). Format: [<offset(int)>, <count(int)>]
• store: instead of returning the result set, store it in a list at destination key

Response #

Returns the sorted elements.
