If the first element of the array to be converted is empty, the element does not appear on the list. However any other empty array elements appear as empty list items.

In other words:
myArray[1] = 'one'
myArray[2] = 'two'
myArray[3] = 'three'

will output as a list like this: one,two,three

but if you have this

myArray[1] = ''
myArray[2] = 'two'
myArray[3] = 'three'

you only get the following: two,three

I tried this and I don't think you are correct. The ArraySort function returns a Boolean value, so MyAlphaList actually contains a Boolean. The ArraySort function works in-place on the referenced array.

You might, however, argue (successfully, I'm afraid) that the variable names are misleading.

IMHO, the comment about readbale code is dead on. Don't blow it off just cause the code isn't as readable as some would like.

In any case, that's not my comment. In the code above, there are these lines:

Then below, it outputs myAlphaList as an order list. However, it isn't. the cfset that assigns the value to myAlphaList should be this instead:

if you want blank lines, copy the code to your editor and add them yourself, otherwise, keep your noise to yourself

Adding a blank line before each comment could make the example code more readable.
