# Natural sort algorithm with unicode support

The algorithm is written by [Jim Palmer](http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimbob)

and found at [http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm/](http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm/).

I, [javve](http://github.com/javve), only put it into a Component.

## Installation

    $ component install javve/natural-sort

## Example

```js

var naturalSort = require('natural-sort');

var values = ['B', 'a', 'D', 'c'];

values.sort(naturalSort); // ['B', 'D', 'a', 'c']

values.sort(function(a, b) {

    return naturalSort(a, b, { insensitive: true });

}); // ['a', 'B', 'c', 'D']

values.sort(function(a, b) {

    return naturalSort(a, b, { insensitive: true, desc: true })

}); // ['D', 'c', 'B', 'a']

var values = [

    { val: 'B' },

    { val: 'a' },

    { val: 'D' },

    { val: 'c' }

];

values.sort(function(a, b) {

    return naturalSort(a.val, b.val, { insensitive: true });

}); // ['a', 'B', 'c', 'D']

```

Find more examples at [http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm/](http://www.overset.com/2008/09/01/javascript-natural-sort-algorithm/)

or look at the tests in `/test`. It's quite impressive. Handles dates, etc.
