Sort

Sort

The
Sort
action sorts the occurrences of a multiple-occurrence data holder. The output the original content of the data holder. The sort is case sensitive.
If you run the action on an XML element that contains attributes or nested elements, you can use them as sort keys.
The following table describes the properties of the
Sort
action:
Property
Description
by_fields
Defines a list of sort keys in decreasing order of precedence. For each field, select the data holder and an
ascending
or
descending
sort. You can select the multiple-occurrence data holder itself, or any of its nested elements or attributes. To sort numerically, a sort key must have a numerical data type such as
xs:integer
.

  • Selected. The Script ignores the component.
  • Cleared. The Script applies the component.
The default is cleared.
name
A descriptive label for the component. This label appears in the log file and the
Events

  • Cleared. Take no action.

  • NotifyFailure. Send a notification.
Default is cleared. For more information about handling component failures, see Failure Handling.
phase
Determines when the Script processes the component. You can choose one of the following options:
  • initial. The Script processes the component during the initial phase.
  • main. The Script processes the component during the main phase.
  • final. The Script processes the component during the final phase.
For more information, see How a Parser Searches for Anchors.
Default is main.
