## Install

This package is [pure ESM](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c). If you're not ready yet, install an older version of this program, 4.1.0 (`npm i ranges-sort@4.1.0`).

```bash
npm i ranges-sort
```

## Quick Take

```js
import { strict as assert } from "node:assert";

import { rSort } from "ranges-sort";

// Ranges (see codsen.com/ranges/) are sorted:
assert.deepEqual(
  rSort([
    [2, 3],
    [9, 10, "bad grey wolf"],
    [1, 2],
  ]),
  [
    [1, 2],
    [2, 3],
    [9, 10, "bad grey wolf"],
  ],
);
```
