myanmar-sort
Sorting Myanmar / Burmese text is hard! This uses a big JSON tree to help you quickly sort in Node.js
If you are sorting names on server or client, use the myanmar-names library instead! It will remove prefixes before passing them to this module.
Usage
If you are on the client-side, don't load this huge library! Use new Intl.Collator("my-MM")
instead!
Node.js only (expect long download time)
npm install myanmar-sort
var myanmarSort = require("myanmar-sort");
place1 = 'ရခိုင်ပြည်နယ်';
place2 = 'ရန်ကုန်တိုင်းဒေသကြီး';
place3 = 'ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်';
[place1, place2, place3].sort(myanmarSort);
You can also pass a function to retrieve the text that you sort by:
states = [
{ name: 'ရခိုင်ပြည်နယ်' },
{ name: 'ချင်းပြည်နယ်' },
{ name: 'ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်' }
];
states.sort(myanmarSort(function (state) {
return state.name;
}));
Contributions and bugs
The JSON tree isn't complete! Please let me know if you find bugs, and add mocha tests to test/index.js
