telem.middleware.sort ()

Sorts the metrics in a collection by name.

Usage

local telem = require 'telem'
local mw = telem.middleware

local backplane = telem.backplane()
  :addInput('elements', telem.input.custom(function ()
    return {
      fire = 111,
      water = 222,
      earth = 333,
      air = 444,
    }
  end))
  :middleware(mw.sort())
  :cycleEvery(1)()
