Golang : Sort and reverse sort a slice of strings
Sometimes we will want to sort or reverse sort a collection of strings alphabetically. It is pretty easy to sort a slice of strings in Go. Just declare the slice as type sort.StringSlice
and use the Sort
method.
Here’s an example of sorting slice of Strings in Go.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"sort"
)
var strSlice sort.StringSlice = []string{"apple", "durian", "kiwi", "banana"}
func main() {
fmt.Println("Original : ", strSlice[:])
strSlice.Sort()
fmt.Println("Sort : ", strSlice[:])
sort.Sort(sort.Reverse(strSlice[:]))
fmt.Println("Reverse : ", strSlice[:])
}
Output :
Original : [apple durian kiwi banana]
Sort : [apple banana durian kiwi]
Reverse : [kiwi durian banana apple]
