Why does git-for-each-ref fail to sort tags correctly?

When I have a repository with both lightweight and annotated tags, git-for-each-ref only seems to sort one of the sets. I would like to modify my call to for-each-ref to get output which sorts all the tags and intermixes them in the output. For example: bash-3.2$ git tag | xargs -I T git log -n 1 --format='%at T' T | sort -rn | awk '...

Optimize function to sort a list of tuples

I need to sort a list of tuples by first item in descending order, and then by second item in ascending order. To do this, I have implemented the following function, but I think it could be faster. >>> compare = lambda a, b: -cmp(b[1], a[1]) if b[0] == a[0] else cmp(b[0], a[0]) >>> sorted([(0, 2), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 2)], cmp=compare) ...

SortedList vs. SortedDictionary

This is a continuation of questions like this one. Is there known guidlines for tweek the performance. I don't mean gains in big-O, just saving some linear time. For example, how much does pre-sorting save on either SortedList or SortedDictionary? Say I have a person-class with 3 properties to sort on, one of them is age in years. Sh...

sortedArrayUsing and NSComparison Result : I don't understand how these are actually going about sorting

We're looking at different methods to sort the objects/elements in an array, the thing that doesn't make sense to me is how the actual sorting is done. I guess the big point of confusion is how can the "sort" method be effective if it only compares one object against another? If there are values a, g, b, d, z, s, h in the array im not ...

Associatively sorting a table by value in Lua

I have a key => value table I'd like to sort in Lua. The keys are all integers, but aren't consecutive (and have meaning). Lua's only sort function appears to be table.sort, which treats tables as simple arrays, discarding the original keys and their association with particular items. Instead, I'd essentially like to be able to use PH...
