Order by name

[Tntdruid]

Can't find a way to order it by name.

See screen.

I haven't tested this but it is a variant of one that was listed at : http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/4...e-on-2-values/

-- Sort Function
local function SortTableByKey(a, b )
  if (a.key < b.key) then
    return true
  elseif (a.key > b.key) then
    return false
  end
end
 
-- Build table that can be sorted
local accountant_sorted_data = {}
for key,value in pairs(Accountant_Data) do 
  table.insert(accountant_sorted_data = { "Key" = key, "Value" = value })
end 
 
-- Sort Table
table.sort( accountant_sorted_data, SortTableByKey)

Another example, where I assumed you want to sort Accountant_Data with its tiltles.

Accountant_Data = {
   ["TRAIN"] = {title = "ACCLOC_TRAIN", somedata = "foo"},
   ["TAXI"] =  {title = "ACCLOC_TAXI", somedata = "bar"},
   ["TRADE"] = {title = "ACCLOC_TRADE", somedata = "something"},
   ["AH"] =    {title = "ACCLOC_AUC", somedata = "something"}
};
 
local sorted_keys = {};
local idx = 0;
for k,v in pairs(Accountant_Data) do
   idx = idx + 1;
   sorted_keys[idx] = k;
end
 
table.sort(sorted_keys, function (fst, snd)
      return Accountant_Data[fst].title < Accountant_Data[snd].title;
end);
 
for idx = 1, #sorted_keys do
   local key = sorted_keys[idx];
   print(Accountant_Data[key].title);
end
