Collection.prototype.sort()

Sort the files in the collection.

Syntax

collection.sort(compare function(a, b File) int) Collection

Parameters

compare function(a, b File) int

A callback function to decide if a or b shall come first in the resulting collection.

compare shall return:

a negative number to sort a before b,
0 to preserve the relative order of a and b,
a positive number to sort b before a.

Description

See also .sortBy() which is simpler and faster.
