Structures in Arrays + sorting

[gmelanson]

Hi,
i want to do some sorting on a structure where the items will get rearranged like arraysort does, and not give me the a sorted list of keys.

So I did an array that contains structures. I also wanted to use structures because i wanted to use names instead of numbers for referencing my data.

so here's my code.


<CFSET myArray = arrayNew(1)>

<CFSET myStruct = structNew()>
<CFSET myStruct.item = "1">
<CFSET arrayAppend(myArray, myStruct)>

<CFSET myStruct = structNew()>
<CFSET myStruct.item = "2">
<CFSET arrayAppend(myArray, myStruct)>

<CFSET arraySort( myArray.item, "numeric", "ASC")>


how can i make this work?

You could store the data as a query instead of an array of structures. That would give you access to CF's native query sorting.
