# myanmar-sort

Sorting Myanmar / Burmese text is hard! This uses a big JSON tree to help you quickly sort in JavaScript.

If you are sorting names, use the myanmar-names module instead! It will remove prefixes before passing them to this module.

## Usage

If you are on the client-side, don't load this huge library! Use ```new Intl.Collator(["my-MM", "my"])``` instead! Unfortunately Intl.Collator and the Myanmar locale are often not supported.

On the server-side, you can skip this module by installing Node with full locale support (```brew reinstall node --with-full-icu```) or follow instructions on how to add more locales to your current install with ```npm install -g full-icu```.

```bash

npm install myanmar-sort

```

```javascript

var myanmarSort = require("myanmar-sort");

place1 = 'ရခိုင်ပြည်နယ်';

place2 = 'ရန်ကုန်တိုင်းဒေသကြီး';

place3 = 'ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်';

[place1, place2, place3].sort(myanmarSort);

```

You can also pass a function to retrieve the text that you sort by:

```javascript

states = [

  { name: 'ရခိုင်ပြည်နယ်' },

  { name: 'ချင်းပြည်နယ်' },

  { name: 'ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်' }

];

states.sort(myanmarSort(function (state) {

  return state.name;

}));

```
