Question

I want to sort this block on date column:

["domain1.com" 18-Jan-2011 #"^/" 
"domain2.com" 20-Aug-2011 #"^/" 
"domain3.com" 23-Dec-2011 #"^/" 
"domain4.com" 22-Sep-2011 #"^/"]

I can’t see how to really do so with sort/skip function explained here, it’s not crystal clear for me:

Answer 1

You’ve got groups of three fields, and you want to sort on field 2?

This should do it:

data: [
    "domain1.com" 18-Jan-2011 #"^/" 
    "domain2.com" 20-Aug-2011 #"^/" 
    "domain3.com" 23-Dec-2011 #"^/" 
    "domain4.com" 22-Sep-2011 #"^/"
   ]

 sort/skip/compare data 3 2
