Hello,
I would like to create a document using some functionality that is
pretty close to creating an index, but the built-in index creation
code doesn't suffice. My main question is: how do I sort strings using
the built-in sorting rules for the current language?
\startluacode
document.whatever = { names = { } }
function document.whatever.sortnames()
local names = document.whatever.names
local split = sorters.splitters.utf
for i=1,#names do
local name = names[i]
name.split = {
split(name.last),
split(name.first),
}
end
sorters.sort(names, sorters.comparers.basic)
end
function document.whatever.flushnames()
local names = document.whatever.names
local previous = false
for i=1,#names do
local name = names[i]
local letter, current = sorters.firstofsplit(name)
if previous ~= current then
previous = current
context.section(letter)
end
context.person(name.last,name.first)
end
end
document.whatever.names = {
{ first = "Hans", last = "Hagen" },
{ first = "Hartmut", last = "Henkel" },
{ first = "Taco", last = "Hoekwater" },
{ first = "Caron", last = "Haček" },
{ first = "Ančka", last = "Car" },
{ first = "Ana", last = "Car" },
{ first = "Anita", last = "Car" },
{ first = "Matija", last = "Čop" },
}
sorters.setlanguage("sl")
document.whatever.sortnames()
document.whatever.flushnames()
\stopluacode
