FunkySort Class Reference
FunkySort
@interface FunkySort : NSObjectThis is a collection of methods to provide comparator helpers
-
Provides a lexicographical comparator, so if the collection is sorted using this method, all the elements should be comparable using the
-compare:methodDeclaration
Objective-C
+ (NSComparator)lexicographicalComparator;Swift
class func lexicographicalComparator() -> Comparator!Return Value
A comparator to use when sorting collections
-
Provides a property comparator, mapping the current object into another comparable one which responds to the
-compare:method. In case of a complex object you usually return a property of it which holds a primitive value, like NSString or NSNumberDeclaration
Objective-C
+ (NSComparator)propertyComparator: (FunkySortComparablePropertyProviderBlock)propertyBlock;Swift
class func propertyComparator(_ propertyBlock: Any!) -> Comparator!Parameters
propertyBlockThe block to map the current element into a comparable one
Return Value
A comparator to use when sorting collections
-
Provides a special comparator for comparing objects, but when only interested in their asending or descending information. It is usually used when comparing numbers in an array, like
return obj1 < obj2to have an ascending collectionSee
The type of block to can provide isFunkySortBoolComparableBlockDeclaration
Objective-C
+ (NSComparator)boolComparator:(FunkySortBoolComparableBlock)comparator;Swift
class func boolComparator(_ comparator: Any!) -> Comparator!Parameters
comparatorThe block to use when comparing two objects
Return Value
A comparator to use when sorting collections
-
A composite comparator, providing multiple comparators in it, so when based on one comparation the objects are equal, the next one is being used.
Declaration
Objective-C
+ (NSComparator)prioritizedComparator:(NSArray<NSComparator> *)comparators;Swift
class func prioritizedComparator(_ comparators: [Comparator]!) -> Comparator!Parameters
comparatorsThe list of comparators to use in order
Return Value
A comparator to use when sorting collections
-
A composite comparator using buckets. It orders the list in a way, that it uses so called buckets which represent a subset of the elements. So the order is going to be made up of the order of these buckets. There is a special bucket, called collector bucket (
-[FunkySortingBucket bucketWithAllTheRest]) which hold all the remaining element which couldn’t fit in any of the other concrete buckets. This collector bucket can be placed even in the middle of the list of buckets, so you can achieve to order a bucket at last. By default the collector is at the end. In this method the default inner bucket comparator is the lexicographical one.See
The buckets to provide areFunkySortingBucketinstancesSee
Comparator with custom inner-bucket comparator+[FunkySort comparatorWithBuckets:defaultInnerBucketComparator:]Declaration
Objective-C
+ (NSComparator)comparatorWithBuckets:(NSArray<FunkySortingBucket *> *)buckets;Swift
class func comparator(withBuckets buckets: [Any]!) -> Comparator!Parameters
bucketsThe list of buckets to use in order
Return Value
A comparator to use when sorting collections
-
Same as
+[FunkySort comparatorWithBuckets:]but with an addition to set the default inner bucket comparator.See
The buckets to provide areFunkySortingBucketinstancesSee
Comparator with the default lexicographical inner-bucket comparator+[FunkySort comparatorWithBuckets:]Declaration
Objective-C
+ (NSComparator)comparatorWithBuckets:(NSArray<FunkySortingBucket *> *)buckets defaultInnerBucketComparator: (NSComparator)defaultInnerBucketComparator;Swift
class func comparator(withBuckets buckets: [Any]!, defaultInnerBucketComparator: Comparator!) -> Comparator!Parameters
bucketsThe list of buckets to use in order
defaultInnerBucketComparatorThe default comparator to use instead of the lexicographical one
Return Value
A comparator to use when sorting collections
