I am trying to get this text list sorted alphabetically and have been unsuccessful. I have searched this forum and figured I need to use the arraysort. I’ve read the help files but I still cannot sort properly. Any help is appreciated.
arraysort(listfiles(“~/Desktop/test”),¶)

I was trying to put the arraysort on a line after listfiles(“~/Desktop/test”) and I didn’t know what to use for paragraph at the end.
Thank you for the solution and the prompt reply.
Text lists require a carriage return-separated text array, and listfiles( produces just such a carriage return-separated array. ¶ is an alternative to cr() or chr(13) to produce the carriage return character (ASCII 13) just as ¬ is totab() or chr(9) for ASCII 9, the tab character.

You’ve already got a perfectly good solution, but there’s another solution that you might find even easier – just choose the Text List Sort Up option.
Since your list is using carriage return as the separator, just leave the Sep box blank.

Hiding in plain sight, at least to me. 
Works great. Thanks.
I don’t remember seeing that dialog box. Where is it located?
