But is there a way to sort it with caps first and then lowercase
next? I'd like to end up with something like this:
----------------------------------------
1 A
2 a
3 B
4 b
5 c
6 d
7 e
8 f
9 g
10 h
----------------------------------------
This is the best I can come up with.
set ls to "b,B,a,h,N,d,A,D,n"
sortList(ls)
on sortList(ls)
do shell script "perl -e '$list = qq~" & ls & "~ ;
@array = split q~,~, $list ;
for (sort {lc $a cmp lc $b or $a cmp $b} @array) {
++$i ; print qq~$i\\011$_\\015~
}'"
end sortList
"1 A
2 a
3 B
4 b
5 D
6 d
7 h
8 N
9 n"
