=head1 NAME

Sort::Sub::naturally - Sort naturally (by number or string parts)

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.121 of Sort::Sub::naturally (from Perl distribution Sort-Sub), released on 2024-07-17.

=for Pod::Coverage ^(gen_sorter|meta)$

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Generate sorter (accessed as variable) via L<Sort::Sub> import:

 use Sort::Sub '$naturally'; # use '$naturally<i>' for case-insensitive sorting, '$naturally<r>' for reverse sorting
 my @sorted = sort $naturally ('item', ...);

Generate sorter (accessed as subroutine):

 use Sort::Sub 'naturally<ir>';
 my @sorted = sort {naturally} ('item', ...);

Generate directly without Sort::Sub:

 use Sort::Sub::naturally;
 my $sorter = Sort::Sub::naturally::gen_sorter(
     ci => 1,      # default 0, set 1 to sort case-insensitively
     reverse => 1, # default 0, set 1 to sort in reverse order
 );
 my @sorted = sort $sorter ('item', ...);

Use in shell/CLI with L<sortsub> (from L<App::sortsub>):

 % some-cmd | sortsub naturally
 % some-cmd | sortsub naturally --ignore-case -r

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module can generate sort subroutine. It is meant to be used via L<Sort::Sub>, although you can also use it directly via C<gen_sorter()>.

=head1 NOTES

Uses L<Sort::Naturally>'s C<ncmp> as the backend. Always sorts
case-insensitively.

=head1 CONTRIBUTING


To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on
GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can
simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>, and sometimes one or two other
Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond
that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
