Description

The ASORT() function sorts all the character elements in the specified <array>. The sort can start at element <expN1> and finish at element <expN2>. The ASORT() function will stop sorting when it finds a non-character element. If <expN3> is specified as a non-zero value, then the array is sorted in reverse order.

Example

use accounts
declare names[reccount(),1]
copy to array names fields company
asort(names)
