## Sort array in place
|

Given a sample.yml file of:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cool:
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
- a: cat
|
||||
- a: apple

```

```bash

yq eval '.cool |= sort_by(.a)' sample.yml
|

```

will output

```yaml
|

cool:
|
||||
- a: apple
|

- a: banana
|

- a: cat

## Sort array of objects by key
|
||||
Note that you can give sort_by complex expressions, not just paths
|
||||
|
||||
Given a sample.yml file of:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cool:
|
||||
- b: banana
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
- c: banana
|
||||
```
|
||||
then
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yq eval '.cool |= sort_by(keys | .[0])' sample.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
will output
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cool:
|
||||
- a: banana
|
||||
- b: banana
|
||||
- c: banana
|

```
