*SORT THE CURVES BASED ON THE TYPE AND ORDER *¶
Sorts a collection of curves by a chosen property (name, X/Y extrema, or point count) in ascending or descending order, with optional regex filtering and a result-count limit. Use this worker to rank or trim a curve set before downstream processing or visualization.
When to use¶
Classification: process.
Tagged: curve_group, curves, filter, limit, rank, regex, sort, xmax.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curves To Be Sorted | curvestobesorted | vector | — | Collection of input curves to be sorted; accepts multiple curve objects — leave empty only if curves are supplied by a preceding node. | |
| Sort By | sort_by | string | ymax | Property used as the sort key: one of name, name_number_first/last/anywhere, num_points, ymax, ymin, xmax, or xmin; defaults to ymax. | |
| Sort Order | sort_order | string | asc | Direction of the sort — ‘asc’ for lowest-to-highest or ‘desc’ for highest-to-lowest; defaults to asc. | |
| Sort Limit | sort_limit | scalar | 5 | Maximum number of curves to return after sorting (integer ≥ 1); defaults to 5 — set higher or leave blank to return all curves. | |
| Name Regex | name_regex | scalar | — | Optional regular-expression pattern applied to curve names before sorting, so only matching curves are considered; leave blank to include all curves. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| curves_sort_output_1 | curves_sort_output_1 | vector | Ordered vector of curves ranked by the chosen sort key and direction, truncated to sort_limit entries if specified. |
