column

The nominal attribute whose strings you want to sort. The column parameter is mandatory.

ascending

Sets the order of the sort according to the following parameters:

if it’s set as True, it sorts the strings in ascending order.

If it’s set as False, it sorts the strings in descending order.

If left empty or unspecified, the default parameter is True.

In this example, we want to sort the characters of a nominal attribute in descending order.

To achieve this goal we’re going to use the following formula:

textSort($"education",False)

And, in the screenshot we can see the results obtained, now in each cell of the education attribute letters have been sorted in descending order.
