How to sort a Local Text List in Ascending and Descending order?

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a Local Text List in OutSystems. I want to sort the list in Ascending (A-Z) and Descending (Z-A) order using a dropdown.

I tried using the ListSort action, but it seems to work only with Record/Structure Lists. Since I'm using a Local Text List, I don't see any field to select in the By property.

Is there a built-in way to sort a Local Text List, or do I need to convert it to a Structure List or use another approach?

Any guidance or example would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @Shiva Shanker ,

You should be able to use the list as a Text List in ListSort. If the suggestion doesn't appear then try opening the expression editor, it should be the first choice in the Attributes folder. If that doesn't work either, then try writing Value directly.
