How to validate whether an array of objects in the response is sorted by a field ??

Sample Response

{
"result": {
"list": [
{
"proceduresId": 282,
"name": "dark knightnew batch workflow 123",
"templateId": null,
"isLocked": 0
},
{
"proceduresId": 281,
"name": "latest_trendsnew batch workflow 123",
"templateId": null,
"isLocked": 0
},
{
"proceduresId": 284,
"name": "new batch workflow 123",
"templateId": null,
"isLocked": 0
},
{
"proceduresId": 280,
"name": "new batch workflow 123new batch workflow 123",
"templateId": null,
"isLocked": 0
}
],
"count": 4
},


Hi,
I am trying to write a script assertion to validate whether the objects in list array are sorted by "proceduresId" field. Please help.

Thanks

This script will work for the sample provided and can be easily adapted.

// get test response as json
def json = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(context.response)
// build array of the result list, specifically the proceduresId element
def array = json.result.list.proceduresId;

// a quick test if an array is sorted is to compare it to its sorted self. 
// FALSE means make a copy of the array and sort it, instead of sorting the original object
assert (array == array.sort(false));
