Sort an outline at every level
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Write and test a function over an indented plain text outline which either:
- Returns a copy of the outline in which the sub-lists at every level of indentation are sorted, or
- reports that the indentation characters or widths are not consistent enough to make the outline structure clear.
Your code should detect and warn of at least two types of inconsistent indentation:
- inconsistent use of whitespace characters (e.g. mixed use of tabs and spaces)
- inconsistent indent widths. For example, an indentation with an odd number of spaces in an outline in which the unit indent appears to be 2 spaces, or 4 spaces.
Your code should be able to detect and handle both tab-indented, and space-indented (e.g. 4 space, 2 space etc) outlines, without being given any advance warning of the indent characters used, or the size of the indent units.
You should also be able to specify different types of sort, for example, as a minimum, both ascending and descending lexical sorts.
Your sort should not alter the type or size of the indentation units used in the input outline.
(For an application of Indent Respectful Sort, see the Sublime Text package of that name. The Python source text [1] is available for inspection on Github).
Tests
- Sort every level of the (4 space indented) outline below lexically, once ascending and once descending.
zeta
beta
gamma
lambda
kappa
mu
delta
alpha
theta
iota
epsilon
- Do the same with a tab-indented equivalent of the same outline.
zeta gamma mu lambda kappa delta beta alpha theta iota epsilon
The output sequence of an ascending lexical sort of each level should be:
alpha
epsilon
iota
theta
zeta
beta
delta
gamma
kappa
lambda
mu
The output sequence of a descending lexical sort of each level should be:
zeta
gamma
mu
lambda
kappa
delta
beta
alpha
theta
iota
epsilon
- Attempt to separately sort each of the following two outlines, reporting any inconsistencies detected in their indentations by your validation code.
alpha
epsilon
iota
theta
zeta
beta
delta
gamma
kappa
lambda
mu
zeta
beta
