bottom

sort-table →
bottom(
    count: integer
) → array

Returns up to count original values from the last rows in sort table order.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
count	integer	Yes	The maximum number of rows to select.

Argument evaluation

• count: Evaluated once in the surrounding evaluation context of this bottom call; the SortTable supplied as pipeline input is used only for row selection.

Behavior

Uses the shared SortTable comparator and stable source order to cut boundary ties strictly at count. Results retain table order. Zero count and empty input return an empty array; oversized count returns all rows. Negative count fails with an argument error. Partial selection does not require sorting unselected rows; invalid comparer results fail as for sort.
