How It Works
The Mixed-Type Sorter takes your input and applies a simple but smart logic to categorize it:
- Numbers: If the item is a valid number (like 42 or 3.14), it gets added to the numbers list.
- Dates: If the item is a recognizable date format (like 2023-10-01), it’s sorted into the dates category.
- Strings: If it’s a word or phrase (like “apple” or “hello world”), it goes into the strings list.
- Other: Anything that doesn’t fit the above categories lands in the “other” bucket.
Once categorized, the tool sorts each group: numbers from smallest to largest, strings alphabetically, and dates chronologically. It’s that simple!
