No need to over-complicate it - use the utilities - pub.document:sortDocuments is what you are looking for.

  • If you receive stringList as input - convert this into a documentList. This can be done using pub.list:stringListToDocumentList (set the key to 'value')
  • Use pub.document:sortDocuments to sort the documentList. Remember to specify the key as 'value' once again and compareStringAs as 'numeric'. The order can also be set (ascending/descending)

What format do you have the numbers in? Are they in a flat file or in a string list etc.

Logic behind Sorting in webMethods is same as all other languages. You need LOOP to iterate every string in stringList, BRANCH to compare the two number and then map to the compare result to new StringList.

What do you want to Sort? For Document-Lists you will find a built-in services in the WmPublic Folder. For String-Lists i would use a Java-Service for Sorting.
