Add Sorting Blocks to JSON Extension

[WeirdBoi12408]

Edit:

This extension update was rejected due because it wasn't linted. The extension is taken down and it will only be for personal use now.

New Blocks

Convert all values in ( ) to ( )

This block will convert all the values in an object or items in an array to a specified type.

If the input is an array, it will simply convert all the items to the specified type.

If the input is an object, it will convert all the values to the specified type.

Sort JSON ( ) in ( ) order

This block sorts a JSON in numerical or alphanumerical order depending on its items / values.

If the input is an array, it will be sorted. If the input is an object, it will be sorted and only the keys will be returned.

If the JSON input only contains numbers, it will be sorted numerically.

IF the JSON input contains anything other than a number, it will be sorted alphanumerically.

Grade JSON ( ) in ( ) order

This block will return the indices of the array / object as if it were sorted.

If the input is an array, it will grade it normally.

If the input is an object, it will discard the keys and grade based on the values.

note: This block is equivalent to the monadic ⍋ and ⍒ functions in APL.

Useful block combinations

If you want to sort a list of stringified numbers and want to sort them numerically, you can convert them to a Number type before sorting.

If you want to do the opposite of a grade (for each index return where it moves) then simply put a grade inside of a grade.

If you want to sort a list numerically then mix some list blocks with the sorting blocks.

The sorting part of this was made redundant by #723

We can add the other blocks if you rebase this on master
