Sorting¶

The entries in an Encyclopaedia can be sorted in the following ways:

• By Number

• Alphabetically

• Reverse Alphabetically

• By Subject

• By Viewed status

When setting the sorting mode, the SortMode Enum must be used. The following names are valid:

• SortMode.NUMBER

• SortMode.ALPHABETICAL

• SortMode.REVERSE_ALPHABETICAL

• SortMode.SUBJECT

• SortMode.UNREAD

Change Sorting Mode¶

An Encyclopaedia has the sort() method and Sort() Action available.

about_gods = Encyclopaedia()

about_gods.sort(SortMode.SUBJECT)

screen foo():
    textbutton "Sort by Subject" about_gods.Sort(SortMode.SUBJECT)

Changing the default sorting mode¶

By default, when an Encyclopaedia is opened the sorting mode is by Number.

This can be changed when creating a new Encyclopaedia with the sorting_mode argument.

your_new_encyclopaedia = Encyclopaedia(
    sorting_mode=SortMode.ALPHABETICAL,
)
