- Sort[List]
- Sorts a list of numbers, text objects, or points.
- Note: Lists of points are sorted by x-coordinates.
- Example:
Sort[{3, 2, 1}]
gives you the list {1, 2, 3}.Sort[{"pears", "apples", "figs"}]
gives you the list elements in alphabetical order.Sort[{(3, 2), (2, 5), (4, 1)}]
gives you {(2, 5), (3, 2), (4, 1)}.
Following text is about a feature that is supported only in GeoGebra 4.2.

Note: There is a workaround to sort lists of arbitrary objects which is explained in the Tutorial:Advanced List Sorting.
