      CHARSLIST( [<cString>] ) -> cSortedCharacterList

Arguments

[<cString>] is the string for whom the function generates a sorted list of all characters Default: “” (empty string)

Returns

<cSortedCharacterList> a sorted list of the characters in <cString>

Description

Examples

      ? charslist( "Hello World !" ) // --> " !HWdelor"

Tests

      charslist( "Hello World !" ) == " !HWdelor"
      charslist( "Hello World !" ) == charsort (charlist ("Hello World !"))
