File Listing Sorter


This shows how to display files in a folder sorted by parameter (name,size date). You can sort in either direction (ascending or descending).

Original Author: Oliver French

Inputs

The sorting function takes the array to sort, the direction to sort, and the index number of the first dimension to sort by.

Assumptions

Sort array is similar to Andy Slowey's sort array function but adapted to do multi-dimensional.

Returns

The sorting function returns a sorted array.
