Order an array.

Copy

    <body>
        <array name='cities'>
            <string>Paris</string>
            <string>Rome</string>
            <string>Barcelona</string>
        </array>

        <array.sort name='cities' />

        <println><cities/></println>

Copy

<array.sort><cities/></array.sort>
