Hi All,
I noticed an unexpected behaviour with patch inputs in OM 7.6. When a patch input is initialised with a list and then evaluated, the list is returned, as expected, in the original order. But if a sort function is connected and evaluated, thereafter the input will also return the sorted list, not the list as originally ordered.
Best,

Dear Fergal,
No corruption here. You are using the generic Common Lisp function sort which is destructive see:
http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_sort_.htm
Meaning this will destructively set the operation on the given element (here your list).
That is why in graphic programing, we use instead either sort-list which is not destructive and leaves the input list as it was.
