Sort Numbers Tool

Sort finite numbers in ascending or descending numeric order.

Description

Sort finite numbers in ascending or descending numeric order.

Sort Numbers Tool: Sort finite numbers in ascending or descending numeric order.

When to use Sort Numbers

Use this list operation for a deterministic sequence transformation or summary when item equality, numeric ordering, and mutation expectations are explicit.

Values
Required list input.
Descending
Optional boolean input.

How Sort Numbers works

Sort finite numbers in ascending or descending numeric order. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Sorted values
The resulting sorted values returned as a list.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Results depend on stable ordering, comparison rules, duplicate and missing-value treatment, rotation convention, numeric parsing, and whether nested values are copied or referenced.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Test empty, singleton, duplicate, negative, and heterogeneous inputs, and retain the source list when reversibility matters.
