Subject: Feature request: two level sorting
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 07:13:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKc7PVAsLwNVP0vjTvBebP5u+Ahe03yXaWxkvytOx4EPkN4V9Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello
Suppose you have set of file names:
files=( "aaa-A" "aab-B" "aac-A" "aad-C" )
when sorted normally, it will yield:
# print -rl -- ${(o)files[@]}
aaa-A
aab-B
aac-A
aad-C
when sorted with grouping on A, this will be:
aaa-A
aac-A
aab-B
aad-C
**The thing is** that it is easy to provide group names in separate array:
# groups=( "${files[@]//(#b)*([A-Z])/$match[1]}" )
# print -rl -- "${groups[@]}"
A
B
A
C
With that in place, one can sort with the grouping in following way:
files=( "${(o)files[@]}" )
group_letters=( A B C )
integer a i grsize="${#group_letters}" size="${#files}"
out=( )
for (( a=1; a<=grsize; a++ )); do
selected_group="${group_letters[a]}"
for (( i=1; i<=size; i++ )); do
[ "$selected_group" != "${groups[i]}" ] && continue
out+=( "${files[i]}" )
done
done
print -rl "${out[@]}"
So this is somewhat an amount of code. The group-sort flag could take
group names of sorted data in additional parameter, e.g.:
"${(ox:group_letters:)files}"
Best regards,
