Hello all,
I am sorting some collection in Xtend.
I.e. coll.sortBy[name]
This sorts me collection based on name.

But here name is a string datatype which should be converted to int.
So If I say coll.sortBy[Integer.valueOf(name)]

It will work for sure.
But name can have only integers (e.g. 1, 100,500 etc) or integers with comma (e.g. 1,3)
Here name is 1,3.
So if it contains comma then I want to add 1+3=4 and this based on these names I want to sort.

Any ideas??
Thanks in advance Smile

Hi,

you should put your logic for computing the "result value" of a name into an
extension method.

Something like this:

coll.sortBy(name.resultValue)

def resultValue(String input) {
if (!input.contains(',')) {
return input
}

val inputParts = input.split(',')
var result = 0
for (s : inputParts) {
result = result + Integer.valueOf(s)
}
result.toString
}
