Detailed Description

Collation that orders text with numbers "naturally", so that 'Foo 1' < 'Foo 2' < 'Foo 12'.

Note that this only works in terms of sequences of digits, and the behavior for decimal fractions or pretty-formatted numbers may be unexpected.

Digits will be based on the wiki's content language settings. If you change the content language of a wiki you will need to run updateCollation.php –force. Only English (ASCII 0-9) and the localized version will be counted. Localized digits from other languages or weird unicode digit equivalents (e.g. ４, 𝟜, ⓸ , ⁴, etc) will not count.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

NumericUppercaseCollation::__construct ( Language $lang )

Parameters

Language $lang How to convert digits. For example, if given language "my" than ၇ is treated like 7.

It is expected that usually this is given the content language.

Member Function Documentation

◆ convertDigits()

NumericUppercaseCollation::convertDigits ( $string )

private

Convert localized digits to english digits.

based on Language::parseFormattedNumber but without commas.

Parameters

string $string sortkey to unlocalize digits of

Returns: string Sortkey with all localized digits replaced with ASCII digits.

◆ getFirstLetter()

NumericUppercaseCollation::getFirstLetter ( $string )

Given a string, return the logical "first letter" to be used for grouping on category pages and so on.

This has to be coordinated carefully with convertToSortkey(), or else the sorted list might jump back and forth between the same "initial letters" or other pathological behavior. For instance, if you just return the first character, but "a" sorts the same as "A" based on getSortKey(), then you might get a list like

== A ==

[[Aardvark]]

== a ==

[[antelope]]

== A ==

[[Ape]]

etc., assuming for the sake of argument that $wgCapitalLinks is false.

Since: 1.16.3

Parameters

string $string UTF-8 string

Returns: string UTF-8 string corresponding to the first letter of input

◆ getSortKey()

NumericUppercaseCollation::getSortKey ( $string )

Given a string, convert it to a (hopefully short) key that can be used for efficient sorting.

A binary sort according to the sortkeys corresponds to a logical sort of the corresponding strings. Current code expects that a line feed character should sort before all others, but has no other particular expectations (and that one can be changed if necessary).
