Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
numberedStringOrder
Sort an array of strings based on the included numbers naturally. An alternative to PHP built-in natsort function that's actually work.
Install
Via Composer
$ composer require awssat/numbered-string-orderUsage
Sort
//if you are using laravel, then instead use:
//$numberedStringOrder = app(Awssat\numberedStringOrder\numberedStringOrder::class);
$numberedStringOrder = new numberedStringOrder();
$numberedStringOrder->sort([
'episode 5',
'episode50',
'499',
'episode1',
'episode two hundred',
'episode one',
'episode two',
'episode eleven',
'episode three'
]);
>> output:
[
"episode1",
"episode one",
"episode two",
"episode three",
"episode 5",
"episode eleven",
"episode50",
"episode two hundred",
499,
]
If you ask why not use the built-in function (natsort), then see the natsort output of the same example above to know why:
//output of built-in function natsor(): 🤨
[
"499",
"episode1",
"episode 5",
"episode50",
"episode eleven",
"episode one",
"episode three",
"episode two",
"episode two hundred",
]Get the numbers
If you want to use our internal numbers extracting method
$numberedStringOrder->getNumbers(['2digits', 'text1', 'three3', 'two cars', 'blank']);
>> output:
[
"2digits" => 2,
"text1" => "1",
"three3" => "3",
"two cars" => 2,
"blank" => "blank",
]Convert words to numbers
This package can also be helpful if you want to convert numerical words to numbers
new numberedStringOrder();
$numberedStringOrder->englishWordsToNumbers('one hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred fifty-six');
>> output: 123456
//to get arabic words to number use: arabicWordsToNumbers(...)Test
