Question re: llListSort

I am writing a poker game. In order to rank straights and straight flushes, it would be great if I could easily sort a list of integers (which represent cards) in ascending order. However, either I'm misusing llListSort, or I don't understand its purpose.

Here are a couple real-life examples:

list myList = [40, 6, 28, 5, 36]
myList = llListSort(myList, 1, TRUE)
llSay(0, llList2CSV)

this is what returns:
6, 5, 36, 28, 40

If I run the script again, and get (for example) this list:
51, 46, 16, 9, 28
it is sorted as:
16, 9, 46, 28, 51

This doesn't make any sense to me, even if it was sorting strings instead of integers.

Any help or insight from the gurus would be much appreciated.

I'm certainly not a guru, but from what I can tell you have your sort command setup correctly. This should be working.

The only thing I noticed is with your llList2CSV. I'm assuming you just didn't type the whole thing in, but what you have shown is incorrect, i think.

you have...

list myList = [40, 6, 28, 5, 36] ;
myList = llListSort(myList, 1, TRUE) ;
llSay(0, llList2CSV)

I think it should be

list myList = [40, 6, 28, 5, 36] ;
myList = llListSort(myList, 1, TRUE) ;
llSay(0, llList2CSV(myList));

Again, I'm sure your actual script probably had this, but It's the only thing I could see. Other than that, I don't know why it wouldn't work. You might try setting STRIDE to 0 instead of 1, but according to the Wiki, both should do the same thing.

Good luck!
