Sorting words in a string

I would like to sort words alphabetically in a string. I am stuck trying to get the list back into one string.

string= "sort this sentence";
string_list = sort list(words(string ));&nbsp; //&nbsp;string_list = {"sentence", "sort", "this"};
Sorted_string = (string_list);&nbsp; // not sure how to create Sorted_string = "sentence sort this"
show(string, string_list, Sorted_string);

Re: Sorting words in a string

In JMP you can use Concat Items()

Names Default To Here(1);
Concat Items({"www", "jmp", "com"}, "."); //"www.jmp.com"

Re: Sorting words in a string

Thanks you got me on the right track.

string= "sort this sentence";
string_list = sort list(words(string));
sorting_string = "";
for(i=1, i<=nitems(string_list), i++,
 if(i<NITEMS></NITEMS><BR />----------------<BR />Log:<BR />string = "sort this sentence";<BR />string_list = {"sentence", "sort", "this"};<BR />Sorting_string = "sentence sort this";<BR />

Re: Sorting words in a string

I still would suggest using Concat Items() in cases like this

Names Default To Here(1);

string = "sort this sentence";
string_list = Sort List(Words(string));
Sorted_string = Concat Items(string_list, " "); 
Show(string, string_list, Sorted_string);

string = "sort this sentence";
string_list = {"sentence", "sort", "this"};
Sorted_string = "sentence sort this";
