Cldr.Collation.sort

You're seeing just the function sort, go back to Cldr.Collation module for more information.

sort(list, options \\ [casing: :insensitive])

Specs

sort([String.t(), ...], options()) :: [String.t(), ...]

Sorts a list of strings according to the Unicode collation rules with the CLDR root collation which is based upon the Unicode DUCET table.

This collation does not aim to provide precisely correct ordering for each language and script; tailoring would be required for correct language handling in almost all cases.

The goal is instead to have all the other characters, those that are not tailored, show up in a reasonable order.

Arguments

strings is an enumerable of type t:String.t()
options is a keyword list of options

Options

casing is either :sensitive or :insensitive indicating if collation is to be case sensitive or not. The default is :insensitive

Returns

An ordered list of t:String.t()

Examples

iex> Cldr.Collation.sort ["á", "b", "A"]
["á", "A", "b"]

iex> Cldr.Collation.sort ["á", "b", "A"], casing: :sensitive
["A", "á", "b"]
