note

ARRAY_SORT(array) can accept two optional parameters, order and nullposition, which can be specified through the syntax ARRAY_SORT(array, order, nullposition).

  • order specifies the sorting order as either ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC). Defaults to ASC.
  • nullposition determines the position of NULL values in the sorting result, at the beginning (NULLS FIRST) or at the end (NULLS LAST) of the sorting output. Defaults to NULLS FIRST.
