[PD] change list order according to their first element

[patko]

 Hello,

using [list length] is a good idea,
 I also use [list prepend] to prepare a gridflow message for rows number like this:



[trigger l l]
 |         |
 |        [list length] 
 |         |
 |        [$1 4 #]
 |         |
[list prepend]
 |
[list trim]

 The non-integer number I've used only needed 3 figures after the coma,
 so I've just used [* 1000]-[i] before going into the grid and [/ 1000] at the output,
 


Yoi patchi
