(Haise) List Sorting

[reef basalt]

Is there a way to sort lists inside of a list

Like for example <list[<list[421|Example]><list[523|Example]><list[752|Example]><list[840|Example]>]>

Like is there a way to sort the lists inside based on their first element for example making the list with the highest number on the first element is the first list

!t sort_by_value

[stiff tapir]

Cannot Specify Searched Tag

Multiple possible tags: <ListTag.sort_by_value[<tag>]>, <MapTag.sort_by_value[(<tag>)]>.

[rapid prism]

you have some object hacking there

Your question seems to be an XY Problem - you're asking about your attempted solution rather than your original problem.
Read in detail about the XY Problem here: http://xyproblem.info/

For an example of an XY Problem we've seen in Denizen, the question "how do I make an event for when a flag expires" has no answer, but the same question asked with full background detail will be something more like "I have this script: [LINK HERE], which sets a 3 minute cooldown flag on a player for when they use an ability. I want the player to be notified when the cooldown completes - how do I do this?" which we can then answer quite effectively (in this example, all that was needed was a simple wait command, no events or flag-listening or anything).

[glacial dune]

Why are you doing that?

[reef basalt]

for like a playershop system putting all items inside a list and each item is a list that contains the price item etc so like wanted to sort the items by price from highest to lowest etc

[reef basalt]

also how would this work with lists like inside of the other lists

[glacial dune]

It sounds like you want maps, not lists

[reef basalt]

what would you even put in the value or is it like choose the first value? or smth

oh you mean it would be better if did it in maps instead?

[glacial dune]

Yes, have maps for all of the items in your shop, probably using a data script

!l data script

[stiff tapir]

Language: Data Script Containers

Data script containers are generic script containers for information that will be referenced by other scripts.

No part of a 'data' script container is ever run as commands.

There are no required keys.

Generally, data is read using the !tag ScriptTag.data_key tag.

data_script_name:

    type: data

    # Your data here
    some_key: some value
    some_list_key:
    - some list value
    some_map_key:
        some_subkey: some value

Script Container System

That way you can easily configure stuff in, and then read them in your shop script

[reef basalt]

Oh tho the resson i used flags was like because players were able to list their items for sale so like when a player lists it for sale i would put it in a flag can i modifiy a datascript like flags? with player items?

[glacial dune]

I see, still - you'd probably want a flag map with keys for each bit of information

[reef basalt]

Tho would it be possible to sort a flag map in the way i descriped above like depending on their price etc.

[rapid prism]

yes

[reef basalt]

Oh what is like the synatx to sort a flag map like an example?

[charred mist]

that heavily depends on the data structure

[reef basalt]

Hm for something like this?

- definemap shopdata:
    item:
    quantity:
    price:```

and like i wanna sort them by price

!t map.sort_by_value

[stiff tapir]

Tag: <MapTag.sort_by_value[(<tag>)]>

Returns a copy of the map, sorted alphanumerically by the value under each key.
Optionally, specify a tag to apply to the value.
To sort by key, use !tag MapTag.get_subset with list sort tags, like 'map.get_subset[map.keys.sort_by_value[...]]'.
This also lets you apply list filters or similar to the keyset.
To apply a '.parse' to the values, use !tag ListTag.map_with, like 'map.keys.map_with[map.values.parse[...]]'

Returns

MapTag

Examples

# Narrates a map of [a=1;b=2;c=3]
- narrate <map[c=3;a=1;b=2].sort_by_value>

# Narrates a map of [c=3;b=2;a=1]
- narrate <map[c=3;a=1;b=2].sort_by_value[mul[-1]]>

[glass wave]

you can sort the map directly

Level up!

Congratulations @charred thunder! You're now at level 6!

[reef basalt]

uh? i dont think that works? because this map is gonna be like a flag map not actual map? and there gonna be multiple of it inside the same flag thats the sorting we are talking about

[charred mist]

this is a map

do you save it inside a list oder another map

(I'd recommend a list of maps for that)

[reef basalt]

Yea thats what i'm trying to make right now

Thats why trying to figure out how thats gonna work practiacly

!t list.sort_by_value

[stiff tapir]

Tag: <ListTag.sort_by_value[<tag>]>

Returns a copy of the list, sorted alphanumerically.
Rather than sorting based on the item itself, it sorts based on a tag attribute read from within the object being read.
For example, you might sort a list of players based on their names, via .sort_by_value[name] on the list of valid players.

Returns

ListTag

[charred mist]

!t list.sort_by_number

[stiff tapir]

Tag: <ListTag.sort_by_number[<tag>]>

Returns a copy of the list, sorted such that the lower numbers appear first, and the higher numbers appear last.
Rather than sorting based on the item itself, it sorts based on a tag attribute read from within the object being read.
For example, you might sort a list of players based on the amount of money they have, via .sort_by_number[money] on the list of valid players.
Non-numerical input is considered an error, and the result is not guaranteed.

Returns

ListTag

[charred mist]

<[list_of_maps].sort_by_number[get[price]]>

something like that

!t maptag.get

[stiff tapir]

Tag: <MapTag.get[<key>|...]>

Returns the object value at the specified key.
If a list is given as input, returns a list of values.

Returns

ObjectTag

Examples

# Narrates '2'
- narrate <map[a=1;b=2;c=3].get[b]>

# Demonstrates that list input gives list output - narrates '2' then '3'
- foreach <map[a=1;b=2;c=3].get[b|c]> as:value:
    - narrate "One of the values is <[value]>"

[reef basalt]

Ah yea ic and if i like put the maps inside a flag it will be a list of maps like - flag server maplist:->:<[definemapname]>

[charred mist]

ye

[reef basalt]

and then i get them out of the flag right with the number sort

thank you so much
