We lay out a list of ways to sort your data, ordered by their relative power.

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.


If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.


This week, the topic is: "sort and sort-by." We lay out a list of ways to sort your data, ordered by their relative power.


Selected quotes:

"Clojure core is a shared vocabulary that we all can use."
"I can't sort things in my mind, I'll just have the computer do it for me."
"There only needs to be one sort-by function, because of the flexibility of passing in the classifying function."
"We don't need any framework-y mumbo-jumbo."
"We do interop, but only at the edges."
