The Yanaconda language does not contain a single function to sort a list, since most of the time one wants to sort something else based on the numbers stored in a list.

The following example assumes that the simulation cell contains one protein multiple times in different, non-overlapping conformations . This macro sorts these conformations based on their energy (the cell is assumed to be the last object):

energylist() = EnergyObj all
do
  sorted=1
  for i=1 to Objects-2
    if energylist(i)>energylist(i+1)
      SwapObj (i),(i+1)
      swap=energylist(i)
      energylist(i)=energylist(i+1)
      energylist(i+1)=swap
      sorted=0
while not sorted
