Natural sort algorithm with unicode support
The algorithm is written by Jim Palmer and found at http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm/.
I, javve, only put it into a Component.
Installation
$ component install javve/natural-sort
Example
var naturalSort = require('natural-sort');
var values = ['B', 'a', 'D', 'c'];
values.sort(naturalSort); // ['B', 'D', 'a', 'c']
values.sort(function(a, b) {
return naturalSort(a, b, { insensitive: true });
}); // ['a', 'B', 'c', 'D']
values.sort(function(a, b) {
return naturalSort(a, b, { insensitive: true, desc: true })
}); // ['D', 'c', 'B', 'a']
var values = [
{ val: 'B' },
{ val: 'a' },
{ val: 'D' },
{ val: 'c' }
];
values.sort(function(a, b) {
return naturalSort(a.val, b.val, { insensitive: true });
}); // ['a', 'B', 'c', 'D']Find more examples at http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm/
or look at the tests in /test. It's quite impressive. Handles dates, etc.
