Sorting a file


raila

Recommended Posts

I need to sort a file, but get the result in "reverse".
Anyone knows how to change this ?


The file that is to bee sorted contains the following information:

<6>Tromsø
<7>Start
<9>Fredrikstad
<9>Ham-Kam
<9>Vålerenga
<10>Viking
<11>Lyn
<11>Molde
<11>Sandefjord
<12>Stabæk
<14>Odd-Grenland
<14>Rosenborg
<21>Brann
<21>Lillestrøm

I Need it to sort these lines by the number infornt of the name, but it needs to
write the name.

eksample:
lines read:
<9>Ham-Kam
<14>Rosenborg
<21>Brann

The file is sorted here.
And then it produses this result:

Lines typed:
Ham-Kam
Rosenborg
Brann


What i want to bee written is the "opposit":
Brann
Rosenborg
Ham-Kam


I use the following lines to do this:

$alt = file(the file to bee sortet, Needs to use natsort since that is the only sorting that works for this file)
natsort($alt);

is there a command or anything to make natsort work in "reverse"?

Thanks for all help :-)

[code]$alt = array(
'<6>Tromsø',
'<7>Start',
'<9>Fredrikstad',
'<9>Ham-Kam',
'<9>Vålerenga',
'<10>Viking',
'<11>Lyn',
'<11>Molde',
'<11>Sandefjord',
'<12>Stabæk',
'<14>Odd-Grenland',
'<14>Rosenborg',
'<21>Brann',
'<21>Lillestrøm'
);[/code]

if you use rsort() after the natsort()
[code]natsort($alt);
rsort($alt);[/code]

then you scramble the results into
[code]Array
(
    [0] => <9>Vålerenga
    [1] => <9>Ham-Kam
    [2] => <9>Fredrikstad
    [3] => <7>Start
    [4] => <6>Tromsø
    [5] => <21>Lillestrøm
    [6] => <21>Brann
    [7] => <14>Rosenborg
    [8] => <14>Odd-Grenland
    [9] => <12>Stabæk
    [10] => <11>Sandefjord
    [11] => <11>Molde
    [12] => <11>Lyn
    [13] => <10>Viking
)[/code]

but if you use array_reverse()
[code]natsort($alt);
$alt = array_reverse($alt);[/code]


you get
[code]Array
(
    [0] => <21>Lillestrøm
    [1] => <21>Brann
    [2] => <14>Rosenborg
    [3] => <14>Odd-Grenland
    [4] => <12>Stabæk
    [5] => <11>Sandefjord
    [6] => <11>Molde
    [7] => <11>Lyn
    [8] => <10>Viking
    [9] => <9>Vålerenga
    [10] => <9>Ham-Kam
    [11] => <9>Fredrikstad
    [12] => <7>Start
    [13] => <6>Tromsø
)[/code]

which I suspect is nearer your desired outcome.
