# `sort` Function
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** This page is about Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform 0.11 and
|
|
earlier, see
|
|
[0.11 Configuration Language: Interpolation Syntax](../../configuration-0-11/interpolation.html).
|
|
|
|
`sort` takes a list of strings and returns a new list with those strings
|
|
sorted lexicographically.
|
|
|
|
The sort is in terms of Unicode codepoints, with higher codepoints appearing
|
|
after lower ones in the result.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> sort(["e", "d", "a", "x"])
|
|
[
|
|
"a",
|
|
"d",
|
|
"e",
|
|
"x",
|
|
]
|
|
```
