Subject : Scripting - Sorting a Collection
Hi,
 
I've pulled all the Passes in a Scene into a collection and now I want to Output information to a text file or Excel sheet.
 
The default order of the Collection seems to be the Creation order, but I would like to output the information in the same order as the Alphanumeric sort that I see in the Explorer.
There is the Quicksort function which I could use. This seems to mean that I have put the collection into an Array to sort it first.
 
I can make the array ok but is there a way to easily sort the Collection instead, otherwise are there any commands lying around that would pipe the Collection Sstraight into an array (and back). Seems like the kind of function that would exist already somewhere.
 
Many thanks,
 
Adam.
