Solved Unable to Sort List Variable (Confirmed Skript bug/issue)

[Hexivoid]

Fixed in Skript 2.3.6

Edit: Sorting has been broken since 2.2+ (lowest we tested, classified as a medium priority bug) and still isn't working. Check this issue for more information!

*Please note I might be calling list variables arrays, I'm too used to doing so...

I'm unable to sort a list array (I've been trying to find a solution for many hours today)... I get a "List of type class java.lang.Object does not support sorting" error every time I reload my Skript. I assumed the error meant I would have to parse the values of my list variable to a comparable type, such as text and integers, so I did. I parsed the values in my array as integers/numbers and still get the same error! Please look at the pseudocode below, any help is much appreciated!

set {play::Hexivoid} to "5" parsed as integer
set {play::Candy} to "7" parsed as integer
set {play::Ramen} to "9" parsed as integer

set {new::*} to sorted {play::*}

Is that your full code?

This happens when you have different types in the list. For example a string and a number. You can try parsing as a number.

set {_list::lime} to "1" parsed as number
set {_list::lime2} to "2" parsed as number
set {_list::lime3} to "3" parsed as number
set {_sorted::*} to sorted {_list::*}

If that doesn't work, then the variable you are using {play::*} has other objects within it.

There you go.

command /test:
    trigger:
        
        delete {play::*}
        set {play::Hexivoid} to "5" parsed as number
        set {play::Candy} to "7" parsed as number
        set {play::Ramen} to "9" parsed as number
 
        set {new::*} to sorted {play::*}
        broadcast "%{new::*}%"

Well I'm pretty sure it's a bug:

command /test:
    trigger:
        set {_l::*} to 1, 3 and 2
        set {_n::*} to sorted {_l::*}

gives 1 error while parsing:

List of type class java.lang.Object does not support sorting. (pvz.sk, line 98: set {_n::*} to sorted {_l::*}')

it doesn't seem like that should error (Lime your code also gives an error while parsing on 2.3.5).
Simply

command /test:
    trigger:
        set {_sorted::*} to sorted {_list::*}

gives the same error.
