Re: Template, sorting an array with only one member (code not words)

Code talks louder than words :)

$ cat sort-list.tt2
[% MACRO blocker BLOCK %]
[% FOREACH element IN array.sort('name') %]
[% element.name %]
[%- END -%]
[%- END -%]

[%-
SET array = [
  { name => 'foo', value => 1 },
  { name => 'bar', value => 2 },
  { name => 'baz', value => 3 }
];
blocker
%]

[%-
SET array = [
  { name => 'bar', value => 2 },
];
blocker
%]

$ tpage sort-list.tt2


bar
baz
foo


bar

My code says it works ... so what does your code say?

I get the same result if I define the array within the template. If the array is served as a reference through Template::process() then it doesn't work as expected. -- FloydATC Time flies when you don't know what you're doing	[reply]

You must be giving it a hash instead of an array ... don't know how you managed to write that :) `[% MACRO blocker BLOCK %] [% FOREACH element IN array.sort('name') %] [% element.name %] [%- END -%] [%- END -%] [%- SET array = [ { name => 'foo', value => 1 }, { name => 'bar', value => 2 }, { name => 'baz', value => 3 } ]; blocker; %] [%- SET array = [ { name => 'bar', value => 2 }, ]; blocker; %] [%- ## A HASH IS NOT AN ARRAY OF HASHES SET array = { name => 'bar', value => 2 }; blocker; %]` [download] yadayadayada `* bar * baz * foo * bar * *` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
