ktsu.Sorting

A .NET library that provides advanced sorting utilities for specialized sorting scenarios.

LicenseNuGet VersionNuGet VersionNuGet DownloadsGitHub commit activityGitHub contributorsGitHub Actions Workflow Status

Overview

ktsu.Sorting offers a collection of sorting utilities to address common sorting challenges that aren't easily handled by standard sorting methods. The library is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing you to use only the components you need.

Components

NaturalStringComparer

The first component in the ktsu.Sorting library is the NaturalStringComparer, which provides natural string comparison by treating embedded numeric parts as numbers rather than characters.

Problem

Standard string sorting sorts strings character by character, which results in unintuitive ordering for strings containing numbers:

"file1.txt"
"file10.txt"
"file2.txt"

Solution

NaturalStringComparer sorts strings the way a human would expect, recognizing and comparing embedded numbers as numeric values:

"file1.txt"
"file2.txt"
"file10.txt"

Installation

Package Manager

Install-Package ktsu.Sorting

.NET CLI

dotnet add package ktsu.Sorting

Usage

Using NaturalStringComparer

usingktsu.Sorting;// Create a comparer instancevarcomparer=newNaturalStringComparer();// Compare individual stringsintresult=comparer.Compare("file10.txt","file2.txt");// Returns > 0 (10 > 2)// Sort an array using the natural comparerstring[]files={"file10.txt","file1.txt","file100.txt","file2.txt"};Array.Sort(files,comparer);// Result: "file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file10.txt", "file100.txt"// Use with LINQvarsortedFiles=files.OrderBy(file =>file,newNaturalStringComparer());

Features

NaturalStringComparer

  • Correctly sorts strings containing numbers in a human-friendly order
  • Handles mixed alphanumeric strings
  • Properly compares strings with leading zeros
  • Fully compatible with .NET's IComparer<string> interface
  • Can be used with Array.Sort(), LINQ's OrderBy(), and other sorting mechanisms

Examples

NaturalStringComparer Examples

The NaturalStringComparer correctly sorts strings like:

InputStandard SortNatural Sort
file1.txtfile1.txtfile1.txt
file10.txtfile10.txtfile2.txt
file2.txtfile2.txtfile10.txt

  • Properly compares strings with leading zeros
  • Fully compatible with .NET's IComparer<string> interface
  • Can be used with Array.Sort(), LINQ's OrderBy(), and other sorting mechanisms
Examples

ktsu.Sorting
A .NET library that provides advanced sorting utilities for specialized sorting scenarios.
LicenseNuGet VersionNuGet VersionNuGet DownloadsGitHub commit activityGitHub contributorsGitHub Actions Workflow Status
Overview
ktsu.Sorting offers a collection of sorting utilities to address common sorting challenges that aren't easily handled by standard sorting methods. The library is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing you to use only the components you need.
Components
NaturalStringComparer
The first component in the ktsu.Sorting library is the NaturalStringComparer, which provides natural string comparison by treating embedded numeric parts as numbers rather than characters.
Problem
Standard string sorting sorts strings character by character, which results in unintuitive ordering for strings containing numbers:
"file1.txt"
"file10.txt"
"file2.txt"

Solution
NaturalStringComparer sorts strings the way a human would expect, recognizing and comparing embedded numbers as numeric values:
"file1.txt"
"file2.txt"
"file10.txt"

Installation
Package Manager
Install-Package ktsu.Sorting

.NET CLI
dotnet add package ktsu.Sorting

Usage
Using NaturalStringComparer
usingktsu.Sorting;// Create a comparer instancevarcomparer=newNaturalStringComparer();// Compare individual stringsintresult=comparer.Compare("file10.txt","file2.txt");// Returns > 0 (10 > 2)// Sort an array using the natural comparerstring[]files={"file10.txt","file1.txt","file100.txt","file2.txt"};Array.Sort(files,comparer);// Result: "file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file10.txt", "file100.txt"// Use with LINQvarsortedFiles=files.OrderBy(file =>file,newNaturalStringComparer());
