how to sort case insensitive using jq-CodePudding

Does jq support case insensitive sorting?

for instance I have data.json like this

[
  {"title": "first", "description": "foo"},
  {"title": "Second", "description": "bar"}
]

simple jq 'sort_by(.title)' data.json returns

[
  {"title": "Second", "description": "bar"},
  {"title": "first", "description": "foo"}
]

CodePudding user response：

actually jq has built-in filters ascii_downcase and ascii_upcase you can use like this jq 'sort_by(.title | ascii_downcase)' data.json to get proper result.

[
  {"title": "first", "description": "foo"},
  {"title": "Second", "description": "bar"}
]
