README.markdown

Adds sort_alphabetical and sort_alphabetical_by to Enumberable(Array/Hash...),
which sorts UTF8 Strings alphabetical.
This sorting is done by placing variants on the same level as base character (A comes before Ä but ÄA comes before AB).

Setup

  • As Rails plugin: script/plugin install git://github.com/grosser/sort_alphabetical.git
  • As gem: sudo gem install sort_alphabetical

Usage

['b','á'].sort_alphabetical == ['á','b']
[['b',1],['á',2]].sort_alphabetical_by(&:first) == [['á',2],['b',1]]

TODO

  • Sort non-ascii-convertables like ß(ss), œ(oe) , fi(fi), see Ligatures
  • Integrate natural sorting e.g. ['a11', 'a2'] => ['a2', 'a11'] like NaturalSort
