In this example, we will sort a list and print the updated list in the console.

Step

1. Drag a button component to the canvas and open the Action tab. Select the press event of the button and drag the Log.write function to the event flow.

2. Call the function List.sort inside the Log.write function.

3. Then call the function Conversion.toList inside the List.sort function. Enter the value for descending parameter. (Note: When descending is not specified it will be false by default.)

   

Result

1. The console will print the list in the order that is specified.

2. In this example, the value printed will be [1, 3, 5], as the order of sorting is ascending.
