Length-Aware Numeric Sorter
The Length-Aware Numeric Sorter is a versatile online tool designed to sort numerical data based on either the numerical value or the number of digits in each number. This handy application is perfect for data analysis and organization, offering flexibility in sorting order (ascending or descending) and criteria (numerical value or number of digits). With its user-friendly interface, it simplifies the process of managing numerical datasets, making it an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and professionals alike.
How It Works
The sorting process can be explained through a simple formula: if the sort criteria is set to numerical value, the numbers are arranged in order based on their actual values from smallest to largest (or vice versa depending on the chosen sort order). If the criteria is set to the number of digits, the numbers are first grouped by the number of digits they contain, and then sorted within those groups based on their numerical value.
| Input Numbers | Sort Criteria | Sort Order | Sorted Numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5, 2, 8 | Numerical Value | Ascending | 2, 5, 8 |
| 5, 2, 8 | Numerical Value | Descending | 8, 5, 2 |
| 100, 2, 8 | Number of Digits | Ascending | 2, 8, 100 |
| 100, 2, 8 | Number of Digits | Descending | 100, 8, 2 |
