Re^3: Challenge: sort weekdays in week-order (elegantly and efficiently)

++tybalt89!! That was a very clever use of "tr" and its options. I added a small tweak using unshift and pop to put Sunday first.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use List::AllUtils qw( shuffle sort_by );
my @weekdays = shuffle qw/Monday Tuesday Wednesday Friday Sunday Satur
+day Thursday/;

@weekdays = @{[ sort_by { lc =~ tr/muwhft/a-e/dr } @weekdays ]};
unshift(@weekdays,pop(@weekdays));
print "@weekdays\n";

No need for that, just tweak the "tr" a little :) `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11145633 use warnings; use List::AllUtils qw( shuffle sort_by ); my @weekdays = shuffle qw/Monday tuesday wednesday friday sunday Saturday Thursday/; print "$_\n" for sort_by { lc =~ tr/muwht/a-d/dr } @weekdays; # Monday + first print "\n"; print "$_\n" for sort_by { lc =~ tr/nmewhfatsu/a-g/dr } @weekdays; # S +unday first` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Should also work: `print "$_\n" for sort_by { lc =~ tr/hfst/x-z/dr } @weekdays; # Monday +first print "\n"; print "$_\n" for reverse sort_by { scalar reverse lc =~ tr/rn/at/dr } +@weekdays; # Sunday first` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Nice! It just shifted from magic to deep magic. :) "It's not how hard you work, it's how much you get done."	[reply]
