Example

Given a custom_info containing the following lists:

custom_info :  {
    list1 : [ 99, 1, 10, 23, 37, 6 ],
    list2 : [ "a", "z", "p" , "c" , "ping" , "dog", "ox" , "fool" }
}

If a workflow contained two sortList actions the resulting custom_info would be:

"custom_info": {
        "list1": [
            1,
            10,
            23,
            37,
            6,
            99
        ],
        "list2": [
            "a",
            "c",
            "dog",
            "fool",
            "ox",
            "p",
            "ping",
            "z"
        ]
