:: Ord a => [a] -> [a] -package:relude -package:data-ordlist -package:containers -package:hledger-lib -package:extra

The sort function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of sortBy, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function. Elements are arranged from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input. The argument must be finite.

Examples

>>> sort [1,6,4,3,2,5]
[1,2,3,4,5,6]

>>> sort "haskell"
"aehklls"

>>> import Data.Semigroup(Arg(..))

>>> sort [Arg ":)" 0, Arg ":D" 0, Arg ":)" 1, Arg ":3" 0, Arg ":D" 1]
[Arg ":)" 0,Arg ":)" 1,Arg ":3" 0,Arg ":D" 0,Arg ":D" 1]

Like nub, but has O(n log n) complexity instead of O(n^2). Code for ordNub and listUnion taken from Niklas Hambüchen's ordnub package.

A right-biased version of ordNub. Example:

>>> ordNub [1,2,1] :: [Int]
[1,2]

>>> ordNubRight [1,2,1] :: [Int]
[2,1]

Remove duplicates but keep elements in order. O(n * log n)

The sort function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of sortBy, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function. Elements are arranged from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input.

>>> sort [1,6,4,3,2,5]
[1,2,3,4,5,6]

Strip out duplicates

same behavior as nub, but requires Ord and is O(n log n) https://github.com/nh2/haskell-ordnub

>>> sort [1,6,4,3,2,5]
[1,2,3,4,5,6]

The argument must be finite.

Like nub but runs in O(n * log n) time and requires Ord.

>>> ordNub [3, 3, 3, 2, 2, -1, 1]
[3,2,-1,1]

Like ordNub but also sorts a list.

>>> sortNub [3, 3, 3, 2, 2, -1, 1]
[-1,1,2,3]

O(n log n). Perform a heap sort

As nub, but with O(n*log(n)) behaviour.

Returns an (arbitrary) representative for each list element that occurs more than once. O(n log n).

Remove the first representative for each list element. Thus, returns all duplicate copies. O(n log n). allDuplicates xs == sort $ xs \ nub xs.

Sort a list and remove duplicates. Like deleteAllDuplicates, but trades off laziness and stability for efficiency.

The sort function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of sortBy, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.

Sort the list, discarding duplicates.

O(n log n). Sorts and remove repetitions. Equivalent to nub . sort.

> nubSort [1,2,3]
[1,2,3]
> nubSort [3,2,1]
[1,2,3]
> nubSort [3,2,1,3,2,1]
[1,2,3]
> nubSort [3,3,1,1,2,2]
[1,2,3]
