OK, presumably I'd need to do this in each map function? Do I need to
copy and paste the code to each function or is there any way to use
subroutines across map function?
Actually, I realised there is a fairly simple way to do this in three
extra lines of (coffeescript) code:
alphabet = "ABDEFGHIJKLMNOPRSŠZŽTUVÕÄÖÜ"
collation = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZŽ"
sort = (collation[alphabet.indexOf char.toUpperCase()] ? char for char
in word.split '').join ''emit [sort, word]
Emitting the word too keeps the cases sorted.
Of course, this will break if I have any words with the "foreign"
letters in (C Q W X Y) but the concept is easy to extend.
Thanks all for your help.
Regards
Cliff.
