# sort (List) or sort (List, x\[index] or x.parameter)
**sort (List) → List**
It creates a new list by sorting the elements of the given list in ascending order. **sort (List,x\[index]) → List of list**
It creates a new list by sorting the elements based on given index for the list of lists. **sort (List,x\[index]) → List of objects**
It creates a new list of objects by sorting the objects based on given parameter.
**Example:**
```xml
```
 As illustrated above, sorted\_List sorts the numerical elements while sorted\_List2 sorts a list of list based on the first element on each sublist and sorted\_List3 sorts a list of objects based on the value of “a” parameter. To view this example in the library, see ( )

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/developers/paramml-developer-guide/functions/custom-function/sort-list-or-sort-list-xindex-or-xparameter.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
