Hi Alex,

You can use control loops and "endsWith" as shown below:

Array1 = newArray("expt-c1-f", "expt-c1-t", "expt-c1-v", "expt-c2-f", "expt-c2-t", "expt-c2-v");
order = newArray("-t","-v", "-f");
Array2 = newArray(6);
counter = 0;
for(index=1; index<3; index++){
for(e=0; e<order.length; e++){
target = d2s(index,0)+order[e];
for(a=0; a<Array1.length; a++){
if(endsWith(Array1[a], target)){
Array2[counter] = Array1[a];
counter +=1;
}
}
}
}
Array.print(Array2);

Best Regards,
John

Subject: Sorting arrays

Hi all,
I have a series of file names in an array that I'm trying to sort with imagej macro language.

expt1-c1-f

expt1-c1-t

expt1-c1-v

expt1-c2-f

expt1-c2-t

expt1-c2-v


I'd like to sort the array like this

expt1-c1-t

expt1-c1-v

expt1-c1-f

expt1-c2-t

expt1-c2-v

expt1-c2-f


Further, I'd prefer to be able to specify the order of the sort : e.g. specify [t, v, f] or [f, t, v] or [v, f, t], etc.
