Sorting Arrays by Date/Time

How To
1

Hi everyone,

I changed the Date/Time for each bundle within my array to be in epoch. This should be a hack to get around the number formatting. Now I’m trying to use the Sort function to order the bundles in descending order. I am working with a complex array containing 10 collections inside of it. The collections only contain variables and no further layers of arrays or collections.

Is there a way to easily do this inside of Make?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Make community!

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as Text File

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

This will allow others to better assist you. Thanks!

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
