FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

■ Array.UNIQUESORT or 4
■ Array.RETURNINDEXEDARRAY or 8
■ Array.NUMERIC or 16
Code hinting is enabled if you use the string form of the flag (for example, DESCENDING)
rather than the numeric form (2).
Returns
Array - The return value depends on whether you pass any parameters, as described in the
following list:
■ If you specify a value of 4 or Array.UNIQUESORT for the options parameter, and two or
more elements being sorted have identical sort fields, Flash returns a value of 0 and does
not modify the array.
■ If you specify a value of 8 or Array.RETURNINDEXEDARRAY for the options parameter,
Flash returns an array that reflects the results of the sort and does not modify the array.
■ Otherwise, Flash returns nothing and modifies the array to reflect the sort order.
Example
The following example creates a new array and sorts it according to the name and city fields.
The first sort uses name as the first sort value and city as the second. The second sort uses
city as the first sort value and name as the second.
var rec_array:Array = new Array();
rec_array.push({name: "john", city: "omaha", zip: 68144});
rec_array.push({name: "john", city: "kansas city", zip: 72345});
rec_array.push({name: "bob", city: "omaha", zip: 94010});
