Sort help

[zph]

Good day!

I'd like to be able to sort a list of points ascending by there X coordinate and if the X coordinates are the same, sort those points descending by there Y coordinates.

I looked around and found the X coordinate sorting and tailored it:

(setq eList (vl-sort (append i3List i4List)
	(function (lambda (x y) (< 
		(cadr (assoc 10 (entget (car x)))) 
		(cadr (assoc 10 (entget (car y))))	))))) ;sorts by X coordinate

The red code... "(car x)" and "(car y)" are enames.

I'm not sure of how to implement an IF statement when the X coordinates match, inside the vl-sort function.

Help, please.

[ВeekeeCZ]

Here is a quick test function. Sort it by y-coord first, then x-coord.

Spoiler

(defun c:test ( / ss lst i )

  (setq ss (ssget))
  
  (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
    (setq lst (cons (ssname ss (setq i (1- i))) lst)))

  (setq lst (vl-sort lst (function (lambda (x y) (< (caddr (assoc 10 (entget x)))
						    (caddr (assoc 10 (entget y)))))))
	lst (vl-sort lst (function (lambda (x y) (< (cadr (assoc 10 (entget x)))
						    (cadr (assoc 10 (entget y))))))))

  (command "pline")
  (foreach e lst (command "_none" (cdr (assoc 10 (entget e)))))
  (command)	   
    
  (princ)
)

Thanks for the quick reply, BCZ.

However, this isn't quite what I need. I only want to sort points by their Y components IF their X components are identical.

Basically, I need a tie-breaker between points that are aligned and I'd prefer to sort THESE points only by their Y location.

Does this make sense?

[zph]

I've attached a visual.

I want the order of the points in the list to mimic how the points are numbered.

P1 is first, followed by P2, P3, P4, and P5.

You'll notice how P2, P3, and P4 are aligned vertically and I want point on top (P2) to be listed before the points below it.

So, left to right and (if needed) top to bottom.

According to your posted picture...

(defun c:sort-texts ( / ss l k )
  (prompt "\nSelect text entities labeled with only single letter \"p\" which are positioned according to sorting rules...")
  (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "TEXT"))))
  (setq l (vl-remove-if 'listp (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss))))
  (setq l (vl-sort l '(lambda ( a b ) (if (equal (car (cdr (assoc 10 (entget a)))) (car (cdr (assoc 10 (entget b)))) 1e-6)
                                        (> (cadr (cdr (assoc 10 (entget a)))) (cadr (cdr (assoc 10 (entget b)))))
                                        (< (car (cdr (assoc 10 (entget a)))) (car (cdr (assoc 10 (entget b)))))
                                      )
                      )
          )
  )
  (setq k 0)
  (foreach e l
    (entupd (cdr (assoc -1 (entmod (subst (cons 1 (strcat (cdr (assoc 1 (entget e))) (itoa (setq k (1+ k))))) (assoc 1 (entget e)) (entget e))))))
  )
  (princ)
)

You could modify code from BlockSSSort.lsp, available here.  It stands for Block Selection Set Sort, and it's made to sort a selection set of Blocks into a list ordered by insertion-point positions in both directions, but you can alter it to take a list of points as input.  It sorts by one coordinate comparison, and wherever that coordinate is the same for more than one of them, it keeps those in a separate sublist, which it then sorts by comparison in the other direction.  Its arguments specify which edge to start with, and in which direction to sort within each aligned sublist.  For the directions you describe, with Blocks the usage would be (BSSS "L" "T"), that is, sort starting on the Left side, sorting any multiples that align [in the X direction in that case] from the Top down.

You will need to tailor it to exactly what your input is -- it takes a User object(s) selection, but it seems from your description that you are starting with a list of point-coordinate lists, which is one alteration to BlockSSSort, and it would be an easy adjustment to use User on-screen point picks instead.

You might need to position your points in the
Fourth Quadrant for it to work LtoR and TtoB...

try this:
dwg attachment with test points:

 Code of (test1):

(defun test1 ( / MiList get10)
  (setq	MiList
	 '(("P1" (2081.59 936.449 0.0))
	   ("P3" (2088.04 940.865 0.0))
	   ("P5" (2094.3 939.376 0.0))
	   ("P8" (2101.77 940.865 0.0))
	   ("P4" (2088.04 936.42 0.0))
	   ("P2" (2088.04 943.495 0.0))
	   ("P6" (2094.3 936.477 0.0))
	   ("P9" (2099.8 936.614 0.0))
	   ("P7" (2099.8 944.333 0.0))
	  )
  )
  (setq L1 (vl-sort
	   MiList
	   (function
	     (lambda (e1 e2)
	       (or
		(< (caadr e1) (caadr e2)) ;; < X X'
		(and
		 (equal (caadr e1) (caadr e2)) ;; equal X X'
		 (> (cadadr e1) (cadadr e2))   ;; > Y Y'
		)
	       )
	     )
	    )
	  )
  )
)

Result:

(("P1" (2081.59 936.449 0.0))
  ("P2" (2088.04 943.495 0.0))
  ("P3" (2088.04 940.865 0.0))
  ("P4" (2088.04 936.42 0.0))
  ("P5" (2094.3 939.376 0.0))
  ("P6" (2094.3 936.477 0.0))
  ("P7" (2099.8 944.333 0.0))
  ("P9" (2099.8 936.614 0.0))
  ("P8" (2101.77 940.865 0.0))
)

It's all in the details. Thank you Marko, Kent, Scott, and Jose for your replies.

However, until I realized that I needed to be using ASSOC 11 rather than 10, all my attempts had been in vain. Assoc 10, the insertion point on a text entity, changes based upon text length (the actual length...not character length). Assoc 11, the corresponding justification point, stays the same regardless of text length.

Thank you for showing me how to incorporate more complicated comparisons into the vl-sort function.

zph, FYI if you have a default text alignment, then (cdr (assoc 11 (entget (car (entsel))))) returns '(0 0 0)! Try any text in Marco's test file.

Simple condition could be that if 11 code equals to '(0 0 0), then take code 10. But there is a small probability that 11 is actually '(0 0 0) on purpose.

More reliable is that if both codes 72 and 73 are 0, then take code 10.

It's actually a little more convoluted than that.  Assoc 10 is always the left end of the baseline of the Text object.  If it's ordinary Left-justified, that is also the insertion point [to which Osnap INS will snap], and Assoc 11 is always 0,0,0, regardless of position in the drawing, so using the 11 value can lead you astray.  If the justification is anything other than Left, Assoc 10 is still the left end of the baseline, and Assoc 11 is the insertion point.

So to be sure you get what you want, no matter what the Text's justification, you might want to extract insertion points with a test -- if both Assoc 72 and Assoc 73 values are 0, it's Left-justified, and its insertion point is Assoc 10, but if either of those is not zero [except see the next paragraph], it's some other justification and its insertion point is Assoc 11.

BUT it's even more complicated if you ever use Fit or Aligned justifications.  10 is the left end of the baseline, 11 the right end, and you would need to choose one, or maybe use the point halfway in between.  For Fit, the Assoc 72 value is 5 and 73 is 0; for Aligned, 72 is 3 and 73 is 0.  You could also check justification via VLA properties instead of with a check on two different Assoc values.

Well, thank you for clearing that up, Kent.

I am impressed. 😉

Cheers!

[zph]

Thank you for the recommendation, BCZ.

I'll put this on the LISP list of things to do...the next order is work my spanking new 'ordered-by-location' list into the an already established routine.

Should be fun 🙂

[zph]

Wow, it has been a while.  It seems I've run into an error with the overall routine incorporating this sorting function.

Please, take a look at the attached .dwg file too see the problem, the noted issue, and the desired result.

I am fairly certain that the error lies somewhere in the sorting function which is why I am posting back here.

It is worth noting that this error does NOT occur all the time.  For some reason, it is occurring with this selection set.

The routine:

What is difference between the two columns of cable numbers?  The column on the left renumbers appropriately while the column on the right does not.

Hi, I did the same thing as before with the other comparisons as well, lower the precision and it works...

Thank you for the response, BeeKeeCZ.

It worked on the test file.

However, I went back to 'real' file and it didn't work 😕

[ВeekeeCZ]

Have you tried trace the process to see where it fails? Step by step. Do you know how to do that? 

HERE is a simple example how it works.
