ksort Twig Filter

The ksort filter sorts a hash or an array by its keys. By default, it will sort in ascending order (A-Z), but you can pass the direction argument to have it sort in descending order (Z-A).

You would typically save the sorted array back to the original variable or to a new variable.

This filter is unique to Aptuitiv. It is not part of the core Twig functionality.

{% set array = array|ksort %}

{% set hash = hash|ksort('desc') %}

Instead of passing the direction argument you could simply use the krsort filter to sort in descending order.

You can use this filter within a for loop.

{% for item in items|ksort %}
...
{% endfor %}

You can also use this filter in combination with the join filter to sort and output the array values in one step.

{{ [5,8,2,3]|ksort|join(', ') }}

That would output: 2, 3, 5, 8

Arguments

The ksort filter has the following signature.

ksort(direction)

Argument	Description
direction	Sets the direction to sort by. Allowed values are: "asc" or "desc". "asc" means that the sorting will be in ascending order (A-Z). "desc" means that the sorting will be in descending order (Z-A). If this parameter is not passed then sorting will be done in ascending order. Example {% set array = array\|ksort('desc') %}
