Async .sort() in dart-CodePudding

I am working with dart/flutter, and i need to sort large values (10,000, 20,000 90,000 100,000 items ) and the application crashes for a few seconds due to the volume of very large data being processed. my doubt is: Is there any way to use the sort() function as async, to show the loadingProgressIndicator() when the data is sorte?

like this:

listFilt.sort((a,b)=> a.compareTo(b))

And i want to tranform in something like:

 showCircularIndicator = true;
 await listFilt.sort((a,b)=> a.compareTo(b));
 showCircularIndicator = false;

I know that sort() is synchronous function but have any way to transorm in asynchronous function?

CodePudding user response：

Use compute, here is the example of sorting photos according to title.

List<Photo> sortPhotos(List<Photo> photos) {
  photos.sort((a,b) => a.title.compareTo(b.title));
  return photos;
}

...
final List<Photo> photos = await ...
final result = await compute(sortPhotos, photos);
