如何对集合进行排序<string>在 Dart/Flutter 中按字母顺序排列？</string>

Question

I know there is the List<string> , but I need to use a Set<string> . Is there a way to to sort it alphabetically?

Set reasons = {
  'Peter',
  'John',
  'James',
  'Luke',
}

Answer 1

Use a SplayTreeSet instead:

import 'dart:collection';

...

final sortedSet = SplayTreeSet.from(
  {'Peter', 'John', 'James', 'Luke'},
  // Comparison function not necessary here, but shown for demonstrative purposes 
  (a, b) => a.compareTo(b), 
);
print(sortedSet);

// Prints: {James, John, Luke, Peter}

As jamesdlin points out, the comparison function is not necessary if the type implements Comparable .

Answer 2

You can convert a set to a list and call the sort method. Then you can convert that list to a set again. You can also create a handy extension method on Set that does the same thing.

Set reasons = {
  'Peter',
  'John',
  'James',
  'Luke',
};
final reasonsList = reasons.toList();
reasonsList.sort();
print(reasonsList.toSet());

Answer 3

void main() {
  
  Set names = {'Seth', 'Kathy', 'Lars', 'Katie', 'Sharon'};
  List newlist = names.toList();
  newlist.sort();
  Set newset = newlist.toSet();
  print(newset);
}
