Sorting

[kcsampson]

I would like sort an array of objects based on a supplied function. Something like sort.Slice()

sorting := import("sorting")
myList := [{x:1}, {x:2},{x:3}]
sorting.sort( myList, func( i, j ){ return myList[i].x < myList[j].x }

The problem is, you can run a CompiledFunc for your UserFunc.

My workaround was to pass the name of a field to the UserFunc...

sorting.sort( myList, "x")

@geseq Do you have any updates? :)
Would be great to be able to sort things.
Was about to sort an array of timeseries, and realized this possibility isn't available.

The author of the PR hasn’t really responded to the change request. Happy to look into this if someone else would like to pick up
