Sorting¶

The list of entries in an Encyclopaedia can be sorted by:

• Alphabetical order

• Reverse Alphabetical order

• Subject

• Number

• Unread

Changing the sorting mode is handled by the Encyclopaedia.Sort() action.

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,
)

The following parameters are valid:

• SortMode.NUMBER

• SortMode.ALPHABETICAL

• SortMode.REVERSE_ALPHABETICAL

• SortMode.SUBJECT

• SortMode.UNREAD
