clojure sorting map values alphabetically by a keyword












1















How would I sort



{
{:name "d" :id 2}
{:name "f" :id 3}
{:name "a" :id 1}
{:name "z" :id 9}
}


Alphabetically by name? Like this:



{
{:name "a" :id 1}
{:name "d" :id 2}
{:name "f" :id 3}
{:name "z" :id 9}
}

          When in doubt, be sure to look at the Clojure CheatSheet.



          In this case just use sort-by



          (def data
          [{:name "d" :id 2}
          {:name "f" :id 3}
          {:name "a" :id 1}
          {:name "z" :id 9}])

          (sort-by :name data) =>
          ({:name "a", :id 1}
          {:name "d", :id 2}
          {:name "f", :id 3}
          {:name "z", :id 9})


          Note that I had to fix your data to use square brackets [...]
