I’m still a scripting novice with LL, so forgive me for the following question which probably has a simple answer.
I’m still a scripting novice with LL, so forgive me for the following question which probably has a simple answer.
I’m missing a basic feature in LL: When I add or remove an item from a folder, I want the folder to automatically rearrange its contents in alphabetical order.
It’s trivial to fetch the container holding the items in the folder, but what then?
I can’t find a built-in sort method, so do I need to write my own? If so, what do I do with my sorted array of items once I have it? How do I assign that back to the container?
I’m probably overthinking this. Maybe there’s a built-in method after all.

Here is a simple script to do that:
var e=LL.getEvent();
var c=e.getContainer();
var width=1;
var editor=
c.getOpener().getProperties().edit();
var enter=LL.getEvent().getSource()==”C_RESUMED”;
editor.setInteger(“s.labelFontColor”,enter?0xffff0000:0xff000000);
editor.setInteger(“s.iconColorFilter”,enter?0xffff0000:0xff000000);
editor.commit();
if(enter)
{
var items=c.getItems();
var labels=[];
for(a=0;a
{
var i=items.getAt(a);
labels.push(i.getLabel());
i.setName(i.getLabel());
}
labels.sort(noCaseSort);
for(b=0;b
c.getItemByName(labels[b]).setCell(b%width,Math.floor(b/width),b%width+1,Math.floor(b/width)+1);
}
function noCaseSort(a,b)
{
if(a.toLowerCase()>b.toLowerCase())return 1;
if(a.toLowerCase()
return 0;
}

Lukas Morawietz Thanks for that. I’ll try it out.
There’s more to this than I thought. Because LL folders have an option to sort their contents, I thought there would be a method in the API that I could simply call.
I was hoping for something like:
c = LL.getEvent().getContainer();
c = c.sortItems(noCaseSort);
but all of the work has to be done manually.
The setCell invocation in particular would have taken me ages to figure out.
Thank you very much!

Me too searching an option to sort folders alphabetically.
Not sure if this script does it.
Do I need to import it to any folder I wish to sort automatically in a-z order?
Is that maybe on the ToDo List for some future version?
It l ooks so basic to me, to have it sorted in different ways that I wonder that a script is needed.
Thanks.
