NAME

Sort::Key::OID - sort OIDs very fast

SYNOPSIS

  use Sort::Key::OID qw(oidsort);
  my @data = qw(1 1.2 1.1.3 1.4.1.1 1.5.235.2356 1.1);
  my @sorted = oidsort @data;

DESCRIPTION

This module extends the Sort::Key family of modules to support sorting of OID values.

Also, once this module is loaded, the new type oid will be available from Sort::Key::Maker.

FUNCTIONS

The functions that can be imported from this module are:

oidsort @data

returns the OID values in @data sorted.

roidsort @data

returns the OID values in @data sorted in descending order.

oidkeysort { CALC_KEY($_) } @data

returns the elements on @array sorted by the OID keys resulting from applying them CALC_KEY.

roidkeysort { CALC_KEY($_) } @data

is similar to oidkeysort but sorts the elements in descending order.

oidsort_inplace @data

roidsort_inplace @data

oidkeysort_inplace { CALC_KEY($_) } @data

roidkeysort_inplace { CALC_KEY($_) } @data

these functions are similar respectively to oidsort, roidsort, oidsortkey and roidsortkey, but they sort the array @data in place.
