结合字母和自然顺序(又名用户理智排序)

标签: java sorting collation natural-sort

我认为这很容易找到premade,但似乎我在网上找到的任何解决方案只能解决部分问题。

我想对用户提供的文件名(以及文件主要以人和/或地址命名)的列表进行排序,有时使用不同的语言(主要是德语,带有法语和意大利语的混合在这里和那里,很少有任何其他西方语言。)

我们的想法是以(德国)用户普遍认为理智的方式呈现此列表。这意味着订单应该遵循 java.text.Collat​​or for Locale.GERMAN ,但同时期望是对字符串中的数字进行例外处理,因此“10”出现在“2”之后”

我找到了在网上进行自然排序的代码,但它依赖于逐字符比较(而Collat​​or不支持)。我可以使用子字符串来破解某些内容,但在比较器内部,我认为在每次比较调用时创建多个子字符串并不是最明智的想法。

任何想法如何有效地实现这一点(在执行时间和实现时间),或者更好的是经过测试和随时可用的实现?

这是已接受答案中的改编代码(基于The Alphanum Algorithm)。优化代码以减少垃圾创建并处理前导零(01 <001 <2)。它也是一般化的,现在更灵活,因为它不再局限于java.lang.String,而是现在需要java.lang.CharSequence。玩得开心:

import java.text.Collator;
import java.util.Comparator;

/**
 * Comparator for ordering by Collator while treating digits numerically.
 * This provides a "natural" order that humans usually perceive as 'logical'.
 * 
 * It should work reasonably well for western languages (provided you
 * use the proper collator when constructing). For free control over the
 * Collator, use the constructor that takes a Collator as parameter.
 * Configure the Collator using Collator.setDecomposition()/setStrength()
 * to suit your requirements.
 */
public class AlphanumComparator implements Comparator<CharSequence> {

    /**
     * The collator used for comparison of the alpha part
     */
    private final Collator collator;

    /**
     * Create comparator using platform default collator.
     * (equivalent to using Collator.getInstance())

    public AlphanumComparator() {
        this(Collator.getInstance()); 
    }

    /**

        if (collator == null)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("collator must not be null");
        this.collator = collator;
    }

    /**
     * Ideally this would be generalized to Character.isDigit(), but I have
     * no knowledge about arabic language and other digits, so I treat
     * them as characters...

    private static boolean isDigit(final int character) {
        // code between ASCII '0' and '9'?
        return character >= 48 && character <= 57;
    }

如果你使用@millimoose建议的比较器(http://www.davekoelle.com/alphanum.html)修改它以通过Collat​​or

public class AlphanumComparator implements Comparator
{
private Collator collator;
public AlphanumComparator(Collator collator) {
    this.collator = collator;
}
.....
    public int compare(Object o1, Object o2)
    {
......
result = thisChunk.compareTo(thatChunk); //should become
collator.compare(thisChuck, thatChuck);
....

此代码似乎有问题,例如“01”更大,然后是“2”。但这取决于您的偏好,如果这很重要,请将其修改为在数字比较之前跳过前导零。
