How to sort array items in a user macro using velocity?

Question

I want to displays members of a group, sortet by the displayName instead of the username.
Something like this:

{code}

#set($memberslist = $userAccessor.getMemberNamesAsList($group))

#set($myArrayList = [])
#foreach( $member in $memberslist )
  $myArrayList.add( {"fullname" : $action.getUserFullName($member) }) 
#end

#foreach( $item in  $sortTool.sort($myArrayList, "fullname:asc") )
   <li> $item.toString()
 #end

{code}

This does not work for me. Can you help me?

Sana, many thanks. Sorry, I didn't reply to your hint. Unfortunately that solution didn't work for me. I got an exception error. So that request is still open (for me). Any idea (someone else)? I have now a new similar task: I get the descendants of a given page in a user macro. I want to sort that pages by the last-modify-date. Again: how can that be done? My user macro so far: ## Macro title: Page descendants ## Macro has a body: N ## List all descendant pages below a give page ## Developed by: Stefan Baader ## Date created: 13/10/2015 ## Installed by: Stefan Baader ## @param Page:title=Page|type=confluence-content|required=true|desc=Select a page do use #set( $pages = $pageManager.getPage($space.key, $paramPage).getDescendants() ) Descendants of page "${paramPage}" #foreach( $page in $pages) #end

Seite	Vers. Nr.	Aktualisiert am
$page.title	$page.getVersion()	$page.getLastModificationDate()
