1. Sorting by sequence member`
How can I sort the following sequence by 2nd, or 3rd member, using
nat_sort preferably.
{{"tony","nsw","Australia"},{"George","qld","Australia"},{"Mary","ca","USA"}}
ie: how do I sort by state or country

Use sorttok() or sortntok():
string = {"Fred,Astaire,45,Alberta,Canada",
"Lucy,Ball,56,Barre,North Dakota",
"Red,Skelton,34,London,England",
"Pierre,du Pont,12,Paris,France"}
string = sorttok(string,3,',')
string = {"Pierre,du Pont,12,Paris,France",
"Red,Skelton,34,London,England",
"Fred,Astaire,45,Alberta,Canada",
"Lucy,Ball,56,Barre,North Dakota"}
It's also sorts *inside levels of sort*, so you can sort by country and inside
that sort
by state/provence and inside that sort by name,, nesting up to the limit of how
many
fields there are, in one sorttok() call. You can mix up and down sorting in the
levels.

Thanks Kat but where do I find sorttok.

The following code is slightly modified after the code that Andy Serpa
posted here on 25 Feb 2003. Very clean, straightforward, and flexible.
Thanks again, Andy!
object sort_i
function compare_index (object x1, object x2)
-- Don't call this function directly, see below.
integer comp, ix
if integer(sort_i) then
if sort_i > 0 then
return compare(x1[sort_i], x2[sort_i])
else
return -compare(x1[-sort_i], x2[-sort_i])
end if
end if
for j = 1 to length(sort_i) do
ix = sort_i[j]
if ix > 0 then
comp = compare(x1[ix], x2[ix])
else
comp = -compare(x1[-ix], x2[-ix])
end if
if comp != 0 or j = length(sort_i) then
return comp
end if
end for
end function
global function flex_sort (sequence s, object i)
-- This is the function you actually call.
-- s = sequence to be sorted (assumed to be at least 2-dimensional)
-- i = integer index of element (column) to sort on,
-- or sequence of indexes to sort on multiple fields
-- (in order of preference).
-- If any given index is positive, then it will sort that element in

-- If negative, it will sort that element in descending order.
sort_i = i
return custom_sort(routine_id("compare_index"), s)

Here is some demo code
include sort.e
integer r_Sort_2
integer r_Sort_3
function Sort_2(object a, object b)
if sequence(a)=0 or sequence(b)=0 then
return 0
end if
if length(a)<2 or length(b)<2 then
return 0
end if
return compare(a[2], b[2])
end function
r_Sort_2 = routine_id("Sort_2")
function Sort_3(object a, object b)
if sequence(a)=0 or sequence(b)=0 then
return 0
end if
if length(a)<3 or length(b)<3 then
return 0
end if
return compare(a[3], b[3])
end function
r_Sort_3 = routine_id("Sort_3")
constant TestInput = {{"tony","nsw","Australia"},
{"Mary","ca","USA"},
{"George","qld","Australia"}
}
procedure DisplayTest(sequence m, sequence x)
printf(1, "%s...\n",{ m })
for i = 1 to length(x) do
printf(1,"%-15s,%-3s, %-20s\n", x[i])
end for
end procedure
DisplayTest( "Second element", custom_sort(r_Sort_2, TestInput) )
DisplayTest( "Third element", custom_sort(r_Sort_3, TestInput) )
Robert Craig: Can you supply a custom sort routine that takes a third,
user-supplied value which is passed to the routine_id untouched. That would
help a lot in reducing routines that are nearly the same etc.. Better
for generic programming.

Craig, yeas.
Tony, no. The demos work on nested flat sequences, which you apparently
do not have. Those 0 and 1 in the example above are atoms. Half your fields
are empty. I don't know what you sorted them by, where's the code you used
to attempt it?
What you posted above is NOT what you posted in your first enquiry:
> {{"tony","nsw","Australia"},{"George","qld","Australia"},{"Mary","ca","USA"}}
> ie: how do I sort by state or country
To compare your complaint that sorttok didn't work, this is what you seem to
have tried:
{{"tony","nsw","Australia","","","",1},{"George","qld","Australia","","","",1},{"Ma
ry","ca","USA","","","",0}}
And i would have said that i hadn't tried sorting atoms before, and no one had
asked before. But i still don't know what you did.

But you gave the second example (including atoms) as what wasn't working,
and i'd like to know what you did. I did say the first example you gave (which
did not include atoms) would work, so what happened? If there is a totally
unexplained random fault with strtok.e, i'll take it offline.
> The function Juergen sent is doing what I want.
That's good, there's many ways to do what you wanted. I figured you'd then
need to write all the rest of the functionality already done in strtok.e for
your
database. I'd have been happy to check the code with your 1 and 0 atoms,
and make the lib operate properly with them, if it didn't. All i have at this
point
is you saying the lib is faulty.

Strtok
Someone has said sorttok() doesn't work on their 3-line database. The
database was not optimum (flat) for strtok, but as i do not know what the
problem was, it is offline until i know how they broke it. I don't even
know how they called the function. But i am not looking into it myself at
this time. It works for me, i use it many times per minute, every hour of
every day.

Gday Kat,
1stly I included your lib in my program.
Then after building the data to put into a EUGrid I called your
routine as follows:
PersonnelGridData = sorttok(PersonnelGridData,{3,4},',')
I'm not saying your lib doesn't work, I just couldn't get it to work &
to be honest I didn't try too hard.
Anyway I hope this helps. If I can be of any further assitance please
let me know.
Regards
Tony

Why did you sort by 3,4, when the first example of the data had no 4th field,
and the 2nd example had all 4th fields empty? The docs say: "If you supply
a sort pattern that is longer than the number of tokens on a line in string,
sorttok() will return "","
