Title: ArrayMaker sort alphabetically by name[SOLVED]
Post by: escpodgames on February 13, 2013, 07:28:39 PM

Hi,

I need to sort an array list alphabetically, the Array list sort action only works with strings from what I can tell.

On game startup I add a bunch of positions to an array, these positions are taken from existing game object. Everything works as expected except the order of the positions eg,
position_03
position_01
position_04
position_02

I did found an old thread - http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=2381.0

Any word on this jean?

Hi,

 I am not sure what to do cause I can't seem to find a working sample on the net to give me some hints as how to do it.

 I would suggest you save the gameObjects names and then sort them. Would that not work?

bye,

 Jean

I think ill just manually add the positions to the array, not ideal but at least it will work.

Thanks anyways Jean :)

Hi,

 is it something you don't have to do at run time?

It doesn't have to be done at runtime but would make it a lot easier as each level would have a different amount of items in the array.
