colname- Sort rows using the column specified under the Name parameter.
- Rows (Specify Column Index)
colindex- Sort rows using the column specified under the Index parameter.
- Rows (Preserve Input Order)
colpreserve- Uses the current ordering of the input. This sorting allows parameters such as Preserve First, Unique Output, and Reverse Output to be applied to the original input.
- Columns (Specify Row Name)
rowname- Sort columns using the row specified under the Name parameter.
- Columns (Specify Row Index)
rowindex- Sort columns using the row specified under the Index parameter.
- Columns (Preserve Input Order)
rowpreserve- Uses the current ordering of the input. This sorting allows parameters such as Preserve First, Unique Output, and Reverse Output to be applied to the original input.
Name name - When using Sort Specify Row/Column Name, specify the name in this parameter. If the sort name does not find a match, the output will be unsorted.
Index index - When using Sort Specify Row/Column Index, specify the index in this parameter. If the sort index is -1 or out of bounds, the output will be unsorted.
Order order - ⊞ - Determines the type of sorting.
- Alphabetical
alpha- Use alphabetical sorting. Numbers are treated as characters, sorted by their ASCII values.
- Alphabetical with Numbers
alphanum- Use alphanumerical sorting.
- Numbers
nums- Use numerical sorting. Characters are all treated as 0, incoming order is preserved.
- Random
random- Randomly sorts the table, uses random Seed parameter below.
Seed seed - The random seed when Sort Order is set to Random.
Ignore Case ignorecase - Ignores case sensitivity when Sort Order is set to Alphabetical or Alphabetical with Numbers.
Preserve First preservefirst - Does not resort the first row or column (depending if Sort is set to Rows or Columns).
Unique Output unique - ⊞ - Remove duplicate rows/column entries in the sorted row/column.
- Off
