List Sort (listSortNode)

Category: Lists

Intended behavior

Sorts a list ascending or descending, comparing entries numerically or as text.

Inputs

ID	Label	Type	Unwired default
list	List	any	[]
enabled	Enabled	boolean	true

Outputs

ID	Label	Type	Default
out	Sorted	any	undefined

Configuration defaults

{
  "direction": "asc",
  "numeric": true
}

Observed frontend behavior

This calls the production passive computation with the declared input/config defaults. Cached state, trigger execution and project wiring are separate.

{
  "kind": "passive-default-probe",
  "outputs": {
    "out": []
  }
}

Observed backend behavior

Offline production passive computation with the same declared defaults; no device or model service is invoked.

{
  "kind": "passive-default-probe",
  "outputs": {
    "out": []
  }
}

Current frontend implementation

Extracted production branches; helper calls and project execution context are defined in the referenced modules.

src/lib/list-node-compute.ts:80

listSortNode: (inputs, config) => {
    const list = [...toList(inputs.list)];
    const numeric = config.numeric ?? true;
    list.sort((x, y) =>
      numeric
        ? toNum(x) - toNum(y)
        : toStr(x).localeCompare(toStr(y))
    );
    if ((config.direction ?? "asc") === "desc") list.reverse();
    return { out: list };
  }

Verification limits

• Default passive probe is an observation, not proof of all configurations, trigger behavior, or correctness. See ../NODE_RUNTIME_AUDIT.md and ../AUDIT_VALIDATION.md for test evidence.
• Enabled=false uses the runtime bypass mapping; bypass output can differ from the normal declared output type.
