Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables in the "List to sort" parameter by clicking the {x} icon to select from previously defined list variables. The list variable must be properly initialized before using this command. Make sure the variable you select contains a valid list that can be sorted.
Notes
The list will be sorted in place, meaning the original list variable will be modified with the sorted values.
For text values, sorting is case-sensitive. Capital letters will be sorted before lowercase letters.
For lists containing mixed data types, the sorting behavior may vary depending on the types of elements in the list.
Empty lists can be sorted but will remain empty after the operation.
