   * ''script "lt" (int a, int b)'' must return the result of ''array[a] < array[b]'' using [[zdoom>SetReturnValue]]. If you return ''array[a] > array[b]'', sorting order is reversed.   * ''script "lt" (int a, int b)'' must return the result of ''array[a] < array[b]'' using [[zdoom>SetReturnValue]]. If you return ''array[a] > array[b]'', sorting order is reversed.
   * ''script "swap" (int a, int b)'' must swap ''array[a]'' with ''array[b]''.   * ''script "swap" (int a, int b)'' must swap ''array[a]'' with ''array[b]''.
 +
 +The sorted array may actually be an array of objects with multiple fields. ''lt'' can implement multi-field sorting. ''swap'' can swap all fields in the two array cells.
 +
 +<note important>''SortArray'' can sort up to ~2000 elements before hitting ZDoom's 2 million instructions per tic runaway limit. Maximum element count may depend on callback complexity and the initial state of the array.</note>

 +===== ShuffleArray =====
 +
 +''void ShuffleArray(int begin, int end, str swap)''
 +
 +Randomly reorders elements of an array with indices in range [begin, end). ''swap'' is the name of a script ''script (int a, int b)'' that must swap ''array[a]'' with ''array[b]''.
 +
 +Example:
 +
 +<code>
 +int array[10];
 +
 +script "swap" (int a, int b)
 +{
 +    int temp = array[a];
 +    array[a] = array[b];
 +    array[b] = temp;
 +}
 +
 +function void ShuffleTheArray(void)
 +{
 +    ShuffleArray(0, 10, "swap");
 +}
 +</code>
