NAME

Sort::Sub::by_last_num_in_text - Sort by last number found in text or (if no number is found) ascibetically

VERSION

This document describes version 0.121 of Sort::Sub::by_last_num_in_text (from Perl distribution Sort-Sub), released on 2024-07-17.

SYNOPSIS

Generate sorter (accessed as variable) via Sort::Sub import:

use Sort::Sub '$by_last_num_in_text'; # use '$by_last_num_in_text<i>' for case-insensitive sorting, '$by_last_num_in_text<r>' for reverse sorting
my @sorted = sort $by_last_num_in_text ('item', ...);

Generate sorter (accessed as subroutine):

use Sort::Sub 'by_last_num_in_text<ir>';
my @sorted = sort {by_last_num_in_text} ('item', ...);

Generate directly without Sort::Sub:

use Sort::Sub::by_last_num_in_text;
my $sorter = Sort::Sub::by_last_num_in_text::gen_sorter(
    ci => 1,      # default 0, set 1 to sort case-insensitively
    reverse => 1, # default 0, set 1 to sort in reverse order
);
my @sorted = sort $sorter ('item', ...);

Use in shell/CLI with sortsub (from App::sortsub):

% some-cmd | sortsub by_last_num_in_text
% some-cmd | sortsub by_last_num_in_text --ignore-case -r

DESCRIPTION

The generated sort routine will sort by last number (sequence of [0-9]) found in text or (f no number is found in text) ascibetically. Items that have a number will sort before items that do not.

This is nifty for something like (sortsub is CLI front-end for Sort::Sub):

% ls
christophe willem - cafeine (2009)/
christophe willem - inventaire (2007)/
christophe willem - parait-il (2014)/
christophe willem - prismophonic (2011)/

% ls | sortsub last_num_in_text
christophe willem - inventaire (2007)/
christophe willem - cafeine (2009)/
christophe willem - prismophonic (2011)/
christophe willem - parait-il (2014)/

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
