This command sorts the elements of _l_i_s_t, returning a new
list in sorted order. By default ASCII sorting is used with
the result returned in increasing order. However, any of |
the following switches may be specified before _l_i_s_t to |
control the sorting process (unique abbreviations are |
accepted): |
----aaaasssscccciiiiiiii ||
Use string comparison with ASCII |
collation order. This is the default. |
----iiiinnnntttteeeeggggeeeerrrr ||
Convert list elements to integers and |
use integer comparison. |
----rrrreeeeaaaallll ||
Convert list elements to floating-point |
values and use floating comparison. |
----ccccoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd _c_o_m_m_a_n_d ||
Use _c_o_m_m_a_n_d as a comparison command. To |
compare two elements, evaluate a Tcl |
script consisting of _c_o_m_m_a_n_d with the |
two elements appended as additional |
arguments. The script should return an |
integer less than, equal to, or greater |
than zero if the first element is to be |
considered less than, equal to, or |
greater than the second, respectively. |
----iiiinnnnccccrrrreeeeaaaassssiiiinnnngggg ||
Sort the list in increasing order |
(``smallest'' items first). This is the |
default. |
----ddddeeeeccccrrrreeeeaaaassssiiiinnnngggg ||
Sort the list in decreasing order |
(``largest'' items first).
