Sorter

Some analytic processes require data to be sorted in some particular order. The Sorter node takes the rows of an input table and sorts them in ascending or descending order based on one or more column selections.

If multiple columns are selected in the configuration menu the data will be sorted by the values in topmost column and then sequentially moving downward.

The setting "Alphanumeric string comparison" is useful when you want to sort strings that have numeric values. For example, if you wish to sort the table by ROWKEY, leaving the option turned on will place "Row2" before "Row10." With this option turned off, "Row10" would come before "Row2."
