Hi,

for example

a=[12,354,633,68,85]
<%for i in a%>
<%z=Document.find(i)%>
<%=z.name%>
<%end%>

Here the result is displaying randomly in browser
but i want to display the result in the array order
i.e first 12 then followed by 354,633,68,85

If you have any solution plz reply

If that’s happening, the array is ordered randomly before the for
construct. Arrays are inherently ordered, so using a for will always
yield the elements in the order they appear in the array. Try
inspecting the array before looping over it to see which order the
elements are in.
