FlexSim 22.1.1
What is in the Array? Numbers, Strings, pointers? How are you trying to sort? Is there a number in the string or pointer and do you want is smallest to largest by that number?
An array of items stored in racks. I want to sort the array based on location in racks. For ex. I might have items stored in Rack 1, Rack 2 etc. and in Bay 1 , Bay 2 etc. I want to sort the items so that you items in Rack 1 and Bay 1 then Rack 1 Bay 2 , then Rack 2 Bay 1 and so on.

Here's a link to a previous answer which has the items for picking arranged by aisle and bay.
You could push and pull the items from a list as I think I did in that example.
Alternatively you could put all the items in a table on token and sort by aisle and bay - functionality you get by not using arrays.
You can query an array and ORDER it BY clauses of a SQL.
