How would you go about sorting a list of numbers to be in ascending order. I’ve googled this but all the scripts I find don’t entirely work. The ones I found just check the first number so a list like this:
{20, 3, 35, 2}
would return {2, 20, 3, 35} instead of {2, 3, 20, 35}
and also remove repeated numbers.
Assuming you mean using AppleScriptObjC:
set theList to {2, 20, 3, 1, 21}
-- make unique set
tell current application's NSSet to set theSet to setWithArray_(theList)
-- define sorting
tell current application's NSSortDescriptor to set theDescriptor to sortDescriptorWithKey_ascending_(missing value, true)
--sort
set sortedList to theSet's sortedArrayUsingDescriptors_({theDescriptor})
log sortedList
