Answer
We can use "todatasubset()" to sort map list or complex list
Code:
a!localVariables(
local!data: {
a!map(id: 1, name: "Interface"),
a!map(id: 2, name: "Process Model"),
a!map(id: 3, name: "Records"),
a!map(id: 4, name: "Data type"),
},
todatasubset(
local!data,
a!pagingInfo(
startIndex: 1,
batchSize: - 1,
sort: a!sortInfo(field: "name", ascending: true())
)
).data
)
