StringSort
StringSort is a convenience class that provides a generic sorting class for ActiveScript-
compatible languages. It is a non-trivial task to sort data in scripting, especially in VBScript
where there is no equivalent for the JScript sort function. It is designed as a list of strings. Each
string in the list is a key based on which the sort is done. Each key can have an optional integer
value that can be used, for example, to retrieve a record in an array.
To create a StringSort object, use CreateObject("MetadataLib.StringSort") or the {A07730B7-
4100-457E-91E2-31BFF24E1EC4} CLSID. Although the object is published by the metadata
library, it is completely independent of the metadata and can be used in any script, including
those run outside of PlanetPress Suite.
