1 Introduction

nsort

short for numeric or natural sort

1 2 10 instead of 1 10 2

Code adapted from answer by Svante 2014-12-05 in

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27307660/how-to-implement-natural-sort-in-common-lisp

Idea from

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/comp.lang.lisp/human$20sort/comp.lang.lisp/8-NU77NMl-I/AMXgN3NMbpQJ

Usage:

(defparameter words 
 '("+gray10+" "+gray11+" "+yellow+" "+gray1+" "+gray2+" "+gray+" "+gray0+"))

(sort (copy-list words) #'nsort:nstring<)
; ("+gray+" "+gray0+" "+gray1+" "+gray2+" "+gray10+" "+gray11+" "+yellow+")

(sort (copy-list words) #'nsort:nstring>)
; ("+yellow+" "+gray11+" "+gray10+" "+gray2+" "+gray1+" "+gray0+" "+gray+")



(defparameter words-case 
 '("+Gray10+" "+gray11+" "+YELLow+" "+gray1+" "+gray2+" "+gray+" "+gray0+"))

(sort (copy-list words-case) #'nsort:nstring-lessp)
; ("+gray+" "+gray0+" "+gray1+" "+gray2+" "+Gray10+" "+gray11+" "+YELLow+")

(sort (copy-list words-case) #'nsort:nstring-greaterp)
; ("+YELLow+" "+gray11+" "+Gray10+" "+gray2+" "+gray1+" "+gray0+" "+gray+")

Testfile

(prove:run #P"path-to/test.lisp")

using string-designators seems to work, 28.4.2015

(sort '("a20" #\0 "a2" a10 "a1") #'nsort:nstring<)  ; (#\0 "a1" "a2" A10 "a20")

except case convertion problems with 'bAr --> "bAr"

(sort '(bc2 |bc1| "bc10" a10 "a1") #'nsort:nstring<) ; ("a1" A10 |bc1| BC2 "bc10")
(sort '(bc2  bc1  "bc10" a10 "a1") #'nsort:nstring<) ; (BC1 BC2 "a1" A10 "bc10")
