Top ten items in a doc collection

How do I find the top ten items in a doc collection with numeric data? script (notes 4.6 :-()


That depends how you got the collection. If you got it from a NotesView and the view was sorted by the number that you are using to determine "top ten" then it would simply be the first 10 documents. If the documents are unsorted, i.e. they do NOT come from a NotesView, then you would have to perform a type of bubble sort to compare the numeric field that you are concerned with. Hope this helps.
