Sort List Step

The Sort List Step puts items in a list variable in order. You can sort lists from smallest to largest or largest to smallest. This helps get your data ready for other steps in your automation.

How to Use the Sort List Step

Add this step to your process to change the order of a list variable.

Step 1: Add the Sort List Step

Drag the Sort List Step into your process workflow.
(Optional) Give the step a custom name in the Step Name field.

Step 2: Set Up Input Parameters

In the List field, pick a list variable you've already made. This list can have text or numbers.
For Sort order, choose either Ascending or Descending.

Step 3: Set Up Output Parameter

In the Sorted list field, type a variable name. You can use an existing variable or make a new one.
This variable will hold the reordered list. It will be the same type of data (text or number array) as the original list.
