Sorted

Sorted at it's core is a set of objects that let you sort many different attributes in weird and wonderful ways.

The secret sauce is the Sorted::Set object, in this example we 'toggle' email:

require 'sorted/set'

a = Sorted::Set.new([['email', 'asc'], ['name', 'asc']])
b = Sorted::Set.new([['email', 'asc'], ['phone', 'asc']])

s = a.direction_intersect(b)

s.to_a #=> [['email', 'desc'], ['phone', 'asc'], ['name', 'asc']]

The best way to think about this is to imagine a spreed sheet and what happens when you sort by various columns, Sorted::Set pretty much just does that.

Parsers return a Sorted::Set that can then be used by an encoder:

require 'sorted/uri_query'

set = Sorted::URIQuery.parse('name_asc!email_asc')
Sorted::SQLQuery.encode(set) #=> 'name ASC email ASC'

Currently implemented:

• Sorted::SQLQuery
• Sorted::URIQuery
• Sorted::JSONQuery
• Sorted::ElasticsearchQuery
• Sorted::ParamsQuery
