path-sort2 v1.0.0

path-sort2

Sort a list of file/directory paths, such that something like this:

Example

const pathSort = require('path-sort2');

let files = [
  'a/c',
  'a/a/a',
  'b/b',
  'b/a/2/a',
  'b/a/1/b',
  'a/b',
  'b/a/1/a',
  'a/a/b',
  'b/a/2/b',
  'c',
];

let sortedFiles = pathSort(files);
// [
//   'a/b',
//   'a/c',
//   'a/a/a',
//   'a/a/b',
//   'b/b',
//   'b/a/1/a',
//   'b/a/1/b',
//   'b/a/2/a',
//   'b/a/2/b',
//   'c',
// ]

Install

npm install path-sort2

Usage

const pathSort = require('path-sort2');

pathSort(files); // sorted files
pathSort(files, '/'); // custom seperator (defaults to `path.sep`)

files.sort(pathSort.standalone()); // sorted files
files.sort(pathSort.standalone('/')); // custom seperator (defaults to `path.sep`)

Note: Using pathSort.standalone() is a little bit slower, but is sometimes more convenient.
