is there a way to sort a hashmap by values instead of keys?

Hi

is there a way to sort a hashmap by values instead of keys? or do we have to convert it to an array first?

cheers

A HashMap cannot be sorted. It is how a HashMap works so you need an array instead.

Hi Polpox

quick question on arrays instead.

how can I sort by the second value instead of the first?

so I have sort working, if I have values first

[[0.50425,"arms"],[0.0345939,"torso"],[0,"legs"],[0,"head"]]

but in instances where all values are the same:
 

[[1,"arms"],1,"torso"],[1,"legs"],[1,"head"]]

I want to then sort by the strings (bodyparts)

help appreciated

cheers

OK!!

I think I figured it out. Use BIS_fnc_sortBy instead of sort.
So:
 

_total = [[1,"arms"],1,"torso"],[1,"legs"],[1,"head"]];
_test = [_total, [], {_x select 1}, "ASCEND"] call BIS_fnc_sortBy;
