How to Sort Array of Strings?

I have an array of strings that I would like to lexicographically sort using the sort (entities is array, compareFunction is function) function, but I'm not sure how to make the comparator function. As far as I can tell, there isn't a built-in string comparator, and I would very much like to avoid hard-coding an ASCII table

The easiest way is to make a map, put all the strings as keys in the map, and then iterate over the map -- the strings will come out in order (though this only works if the strings are unique).Ilya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc1

Got it, thanks Ilya! I'm now realizing that there's a "Community Support" section that I probably should've posted in...0

FeatureScript is exactly the right section for this type of stuff. Sometimes Onshape employees will respond and sometimes other community members.Ilya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc0
