Sort::Versions allows easy sorting of mixed non-numeric and numeric strings, like the 'version numbers' that many shared library systems and revision control packages use. This is quite useful if you are trying to deal with shared libraries. It can a...

With the "sort" pragma you can control the behaviour of the builtin "sort()" function. A stable sort means that for records that compare equal, the original input ordering is preserved. Stability will matter only if elements that compare equal can be...

Implements czech sorting conventions, indepentent on current locales in effect, which are often bad. Does the four-pass sort. The idea and the base of the conversion table comes from Petr Olsak's program csr and the code is as compliant with CSN 97 6...

Sort::Key provides a set of functions to sort lists of values by some calculated key value. It is faster (usually much faster) and uses less memory than other alternatives implemented around perl sort function (ST, GRT, etc.). Multi-key sorting funct...

Sort_Table() is capable of sorting table-form arrays by a particular value. Discard_Duplicates() discards doubles from an array and returns the sorted array. Usage @data = Sort_Table( cols => '4', field => '4', sorting => 'descending', structure => '...

This module has two main goals: to make it easy to create correct sort functions, and to make it simple to select the optimum sorting algorithm for the number of items to be sorted. Sort::Maker generates complete sort subroutines in one of four style...

[13:37:51] <a3f> Is there a better way to get a sorted list out of a hash than map { ($_, $versions{$_}) } reverse sort keys @versions or iterating manually? [13:39:06] <a3f> oh I could provide a compare function to sort and chunk the list two by two...

This module exports two functions, "nsort" and "ncmp"; they are used in implementing my idea of a "natural sorting" algorithm. Under natural sorting, numeric substrings are compared numerically, and other word-characters are compared lexically. This ...

Perl implementation of the "filevercmp" function from gnulib <https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/>. "filevercmp" is used by the sort(1) ("-V" option) and ls(1) ("-v" option) GNU coreutils commands for "natural" sorting of strings (usually filenames)...

* gsl_sort_vector($v) This function sorts the elements of the vector $v into ascending numerical order. * gsl_sort_vector_index($p, $v) This function indirectly sorts the elements of the vector $v into ascending order, storing the resulting permutati...

This provides a simple way of sorting structured data with multiple fields. For instance, you might want to sort a list of books first by author and within each author sort by title....

Natural sort order is an ordering of mixed strings (consist of characters and digits) in alphabetical order, except that digital parts are ordered as numbers. Natural sorting can be considered as a replacement of a standard machine-oriented alphabeti...

The Sort module allows you get the values sort controls METHODS POD ERRORS Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below: Around line 7: =over is the last thing in the document?!...

Given a list of strings representing Perl 5 releases in a *specific development cycle*, ... perl-5.27.10 perl-5.28.0-RC4 perl-5.27.0 perl-5.27.9 perl-5.28.0-RC1 perl-5.27.11 ... sort the list in *logical* order. By specific development cycle is meant...

This implements a recursive multi-level sort of a Tree::Simple hierarchy. I think this deserves some more explanation, and the best way to do that is visually. Given the tree: 1 1.3 1.2 1.2.2 1.2.1 1.1 4 4.1 2 2.1 3 3.3 3.2 3.1 A normal sort would pr...
