How i can sort number from largest to smallest on notepad++
-
OK, I’ve added two new options: lowercase culture-insensitive (Python can do that, it’s just rather obscure) and sorting unmatched lines to bottom.
The text:
foo: tone bar: 27.1 foo: bLue bar: 241.3 foo: taco bar: 66.5 foo: basst bar: 281.7 foo: öyster bar: 144.0 foo: oyster bar: 164.1 foo: Spb bar: 102.1 foo: blüe bar: 203.2 foo: spä bar: 121.2 foo: spb bar: 84.2 foo: blve bar: 183.2 foo: blue bar: 222.2 foo: baßk bar: 261.3 foo: täco bar: 47.3Sorting unmatched lines to bottom (regex
bar: (\d\d)\D, all other options default). Note that the lines with a 3-digit number all stay in the same order.foo: tone bar: 27.1 foo: täco bar: 47.3 foo: taco bar: 66.5 foo: spb bar: 84.2 foo: bLue bar: 241.3 foo: basst bar: 281.7 foo: öyster bar: 144.0 foo: oyster bar: 164.1 foo: Spb bar: 102.1 foo: blüe bar: 203.2 foo: spä bar: 121.2 foo: blve bar: 183.2 foo: blue bar: 222.2 foo: baßk bar: 261.3Ignorecase culture-sensitive (regex

Moderator EDIT (2024-Jan-14): The author of the script has found a fairly serious bug with the code published here for those that use Mac-style or Linux-style line-endings in their files. The logic for Mac and Linux was reversed, and thus if the script was used on one type of file, the line-endings for the opposite type of file could end up in the file after the script is run. This is insidious, because unless one works with visible line-endings turned on, this is likely not noticed. Some detail on the problem is HERE. The script above has been corrected per that instruction. -

One thing I didn’t get around to doing in the script was making it easier on a user to specify a “decimal” key.
It probably would have been simpler for the user to specify a regex such as
key(DECIMAL)rather than, e.g.,key([-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+).The script code could scan the user supplied regex for “DECIMAL” and replace with the somewhat hard-to-remember regex.
See HERE for the origins of that decimal-number regex.

@Alan-Kilborn
Yep, good idea. I just addedNUMBER_RE = r'([-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+(?:[eE][-+]?\d+)?)' INT_RE = r'([+-]?[0-9]+)'and
user_regex_with_group_1.replace('(INT)', INT_RE).replace('(DECIMAL)', NUMBER_RE)after the regex is assigned but before it’s used.It’s easy to get the basic structure of integer and decimal regexes, but there are way too many edge cases that are too easily forgotten.

alright this is my final version based on Alan Kilborn’s suggestions. I will restrain myself from posting any other versions until I have any substantial new improvements

@Mark-Olson
I discovered that my previous implementation of normalized case-insensitive text wasn’t quite right.I can’t edit my last post, but the function
ignorecase_culture_invariantshould be replaced with this:def ignorecase_culture_invariant(x): return unicodedata.normalize('NFD', x.upper())The previous implementation (using
x.lower()) doesn’t work for German ß, and there are probably some other places where it fails. -

Well, I said I would wait to post again until I had a significant improvement, and I believe I do.
I have now updated the script so it can sort multi-line blocks, for example, sorting a bunch of multi-line XML elements by some attribute.
Normally the only way to sort multi-line blocks is to do the following:
- use a regex that replaces all the newlines in each block with some delimiter that is not present in the file while preserving newlines outside the block.
- Sort the lines of the document using the above script or one of the built-in sorts
- replace the delimiter with newlines.
This process is annoying, so I decided to automate it.
Behold!

@Mark-Olson said in How i can sort number from largest to smallest on notepad++:
(?-si)^def\h+(\w+)\s*([\w:\s,]+?)\s*(?:->[^:]+)?:(?:.+$|\h*\R(?:\x20+.*\R?)+)
I see that you use
\h,\sand\x20for a space in one and the same regex. Is there a deeper reason for that? Or is it didactic in that you want to point out that there are more possibilities for a space? -
@Paul-Wormer said in How i can sort number from largest to smallest on notepad++:
I see that you use \h, \s and \x20 for a space in one and the same regex. Is there a deeper reason for that?
Yes, there are reasons for all of those decisions:
\hbetweendefand the name of the function because they must be on the same line but (I believe) there can be arbitrary spacing between them\sin the region containing the arguments because the arguments can be separated by arbitrary whitespace\x20because I’m assuming that the function is indented by spaces.
-
@Mark-Olson OK, that is clear. Thank you for the explanation.

If you’ve used a script in this thread, you might want to double check your copy of it for a bug I’ve discovered.
Look to previous postings in this topic thread where the script has been changed – find the textmoderator edit (2024-Jan-14).
There’s a link there that describes the bug in more detail, and shows what needs to be changed in an old copy (or you can simply grab a copy of the current version).
