Function: Sort

Tip: To better understand how the Sort function works, check out the Using Apps with Data Service pages in the How To section.

Use this function to sort the information from a source based on its fields.

Attention:

This function performs a case insensitive check.

Syntax	Description	Example
Sort(Source, [Field, SortOrder], ...)	Sorts the rows of a given array or range by the values in one or more columns.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
Source	Required	The table, array, or Entity to search (for example, a control's data property or the result of a process).
