Hi,

 

Using Python as a scripting language, you can make a simple check:

 

 

def is_sorted(arr):
  if arr == sorted(arr):
    return True
  else:
    return False


arr = ['d', 'c', 'a', 'e', 'b']
is_sorted(arr)
>> False

arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
is_sorted(arr)
>> True

    Instead of checking to see if its sorted why dont you just sort it and you are done

    A sorted function can be used to sort an array list
