**Hello everyone,**

I’d like to ask for your help. I’m having trouble solving the following task:

I need to sort an output array (from an Array Aggregator) by its `'alt'` property. This comes after a “Share for Files/Folders” step, where I get a list of photos numbered from 1 to 9. Then, the Array Aggregator generates this list in a random order.

After that, I use a **Set Variable** module to try to sort the array by the `'alt'` property from the previous step, but I haven’t been able to make it work.

Below, I’m sharing the three steps along with the details of the queries:

**The output from the Array Aggregator:**

{  
“array”: [  
{  
“alt”: “4.png - Camiseta AC Milan Futbol 2003:2005”,  
“originalSource”: “…”,  
“mediaContentType”: “IMAGE”  
},  
{  
“alt”: “6.png - Camiseta AC Milan Futbol 2003:2005”,  
“originalSource”: “…”,  
“mediaContentType”: “IMAGE”  
},

…

**Now, the output of the Set Variable module (where I’m trying to sort the previous array):**

[  
{  
“sort\_images”: “sort({"alt":"4.png - Camiseta AC Milan Futbol 2003:2005","originalSource":"…”:"IMAGE"}, {"alt":"6.png - Camiseta AC Milan Futbol 2003:2005","originalSource":"…","mediaContentType":"IMAGE"}, … etc:

Thank you in advance,
