Groovy custom sort a map by value
dictionary, groovy, sorting
Solution
To sort with case insensitive, use
m.sort { it.value.toLowerCase() }
Problem
I have a map such as ``` m=[ "james":"silly boy", "janny":"Crazy girl", "jimmy":"funny man", "georges":"massive fella" ]; ``` I want to sort this map by its value but ignoring the case (this is really why the custom sort is needed). Hence I figured I had to implement a custom sort using a closure. But I'm brand new at Groovy and been struggling to get this very simple task done! The desired results would be: ``` ["janny":"Crazy girl", "jimmy":"funny man", "georges":"massive fella", "james":"silly boy"] ``` Thanks !
