NUMERIC (Array.NUMERIC property)
public static NUMERIC : Number
In the sorting methods, this constant specifies numeric (instead of character-string) sorting.
Including it in the
options
parameter causes the
sort()
and
sortOn()
methods to sort
numbers as numeric values, not as strings of numeric characters. Without the NUMERIC
constant, sorting treats each array element as a character string and produces the results in
Unicode order.
For example, given the Array of values [2005, 7, 35], if the NUMERIC constant is
not
included in the
options
parameter, the sorted Array is [2005, 35, 7], but if the NUMERIC
constant
is
included, the sorted Array is [7, 35, 2005].
Note that this constant only applies to numbers in the array; it does not apply to strings that
contain numeric data (such as ["23", "5"]).
The value of this constant is 16.
