You'll first need to create a global variable and a global String array in the mappings, I'll call it
int number; and
String[] order;
Then you need to map index over like this,
Index --> removeContexts --> UDFSplitAndReorder --> newIndex
Make UDFSplitAndReorder a Queue function, Index will enter it as a String array.
For later purposes store this string array as the global variable order mentioned above.
Now in the UDFSplitAndReorder, just use a sorting algorythm of your choice, when you are done sorting the String array from lowest index to greatest, use a for loop and the result.addValue("value from string array") function to add all indexs into the result list. This will wrk for the indexes
Now for the actual items, its a little more complicated,
you need to map item over like this,
Item --> removeContexts --> UDFSplitAndReorderItems --> newItem
In the UDFSplitAndReorderItems function, you will need to do the same things as the last time, but instead you will need to sort the items out by referencing the global array list order.
An example of this sorting would be that if you had Index number 1 in position three of the array, then you would need to sort Item number 3 to position 1.
Hope this helps you, I'll take points if you can get it to work, I actually had a similar situation and it took me days the first time I did it.
