API

sort([e-0, e-1, ... e-n])

var sort = require('sort');
sort(['4', '11', '4.32', '1']); // ['1', '11', '4', '4.32']

sort([e-0, e-1, ... e-n], 'sorting')

var sort = require('sort');
 
// force direction `DESC` and type `numeric`
sort(['4', '11', '4.32', '1'], '-1 numeric'); // ['11', '4.23', '4', '1']

sort([Arr-0, Arr-1, ... Arr-n], {sorting})

var sort = require('sort');
 
// Array of Arrays
var persons = [
  ["diego", "banana"],
  ["jorge", "lemon"]
];
 
// multiple sorting
sort(persons, { 1: -1, 0: 1 });

sort(Obj-0, Obj-1, ... Obj-n], {sorting})

var sort = require('sort');
 
// Array of Objects
var persons = [
  { first: "diego", last: "banana" },
  { first: "jorge", last: "lemon" }
];
 
// multiple sorting - similar to mongodb
sort(persons, { last: -1, first: '1 alpha' });
