Unicode-Aware Numeric Sorter
Sorting numbers should be simple, but what happens when your numbers are in Arabic, Chinese, or other non-Latin scripts? Suddenly, it’s not so straightforward. Enter the Unicode-Aware Numeric Sorter—a tool that effortlessly sorts numeric strings, no matter what script they’re written in. Whether you’re dealing with “١٢٣” (Arabic), “一二三” (Chinese), or “789” (regular digits), this tool has your back. It’s like having a universal translator for numbers, making your life easier, one sorted list at a time. Say goodbye to manual conversions and hello to seamless sorting!
How It Works
The Unicode-Aware Numeric Sorter works by converting any numeric string—whether it’s in Arabic, Chinese, or another script—into a universal format that can be compared and sorted. Here’s the magic formula:
- Input your numbers or numeric strings, one per line.
- The tool maps each character to its corresponding numeric value (e.g., “١” becomes 1, “二” becomes 2).
- It then sorts the numbers in either ascending or descending order, based on your preference.
- The result is displayed as a neatly sorted list, ready for use.
For example, if you input “١٢٣”, “456”, and “一二三”, the tool will sort them as “123”, “456”, and “123” (after conversion). It’s that simple!
