pali_sort {tipitaka}

Sorting function for vectors of Pali words.

Description

Note that all Pali string comparisons are case-insensitive. This algorithm is based on Quicksort, but creates lots of intermediate data structures instead of doing swaps in place. This has been implemented in C++ as the original R version was about 500x slower.

Usage

pali_sort(word_list)

Arguments

word_list

A vector of Pali words

Value

A new vector of Pali words in Pali alphabetical order

Examples

# Every unique word of of the Mahāsatipatthāna Sutta in
# Pali alphabetical order:
pali_sort(sati_sutta_long$word)

# A sorted list of 100 random words from the Tiptaka:
library(dplyr)
pali_sort(sample(tipitaka_long$word, 100))
