Quicksort in coldfusion

[ahc142a]

I want to rearrange the values in an array so that they are in ascending order. Anysort of sorting algorithm would do, but i need to do it in coldfusion, and i do not know how to write recursive functions in coldfusion. Anyone out there know how, or could help ?

Thanx in advance

there is a function is coldfusion called arraysort that you can use to sort ascending or descending

the syntax is:

ArraySort(ArrayToSort, order)

where order is either asc or desc

hope this helps !

Unfortunately, Arraysort only checks to see if the array is sorted and then returns either 'yes' or 'no'

Ok something i forgot to include. there is a sort type that says what information you are sorting. option are:

Numeric
Text
TextNoCase

to make the array sort use this code i have just dug this out and this works.

<CFSET a = ArraySort(yourArray,&quot;numeric&quot;,&quot;Asc&quot>

<!--- to output this sorted array --->
<CFSET b = ArrayToList(myArray)>

<CFLOOP LIST=&quot;#b#&quot; INDEX=&quot;i&quot;>
<Cfoutput>
#i#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>
