How to sort an array of structs in ColdFusion

Question

I have an array of structs in ColdFusion. I\'d like to sort this array based on one of the attributes in the structs. How can I achieve this? I\'ve found the StructSort fun

Answer 1

Here is something that closely resembles the original StructSort(). It also supports the pathToSubElement argument.

Usage / test:

 
  arr = ArrayNew(1);

  for (i = 1; i lte 5; i = i + 1) {
    s = StructNew();
    s.a.b = 6 - i;
    ArrayAppend(arr, s);
  }
 

Result:
