Sorting an array of items by id.

[Daniel]

Let's say you have an array of items/weapons/armor. How would you sort the array by the item's id?

Also how would you make the items appear first, then the weapons, then the armor?

I would do this by to making a compare method <=> in RPG::Item RPG::Weapon and RPG::Armor It would look something like this

array.sort! {|a,b| b - a}

Compare method add this in RPG:Item, Weapon, Armor) (First Draft try it to see if it works May still have something wrong in it)

def <=> (other)
classes = ["RPG::Armor", "RPG::Weapon", "RPG::Item"]
if classes.index(self.class.to_s) > classes.index(other.class.to_s)
  return 1
elsif classes.index(self.class.to_s) < classes.index(other.class.to_s)
  return -1
else
  return self.id <=> other.id
end
