lsort - Sort the elements of a list
lsort ?switches? list
This command sorts the elements of list, 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 list to control the sorting process (unique |
abbreviations are accepted):
-ascii Use string comparison with ASCII collation order. |
This is the default.
-integer Convert list elements to integers and use integer |
comparison.
-real Convert list elements to floating-point values and |
use floating comparison.
-command command Use command as a comparison command. To compare two |
elements, evaluate a Tcl script consisting of command|
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.
-increasing Sort the list in increasing order (``smallest'' items|
first). This is the default.
-decreasing Sort the list in decreasing order (``largest'' items |
first).
