>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3352398. --> Reported by: [danielspeicher](https://www.drupal.org/user/3621778) Related to !484 >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>Users can currently add, remove, count, and compare lists, however they cannot sort them.</p> <h3>Proposed resolution</h3> <p>As a first, simple approach, there are a number of common use cases for sorting:</p> <ul> <li>Ascending by value</li> <li>Descending by value</li> <li>Ascending by key</li> <li>Descending by key</li> <li>"Natural" order</li> <li>"Natural" order (case insensitive)</li> </ul> <p>While ascending and descending order are highly desirable for performance purposes, natural orders may be more appropriate for end-user facing lists. I believe that this approach and new issue summary reflects the original intent of this feature request.</p> <h3>API changes</h3> <p>A new Action plugin is required. This action plugin should have a couple of configuration options:</p> <ol> <li>Sort method - this determines how the list will be sorted (see proposed resolution).</li> <li>Name of token - if provided, the list will be sorted and saved in the provided token. If not provided, the list will be sorted "in place" (that is, within the input token).</li> </ol>
