Lists in Go can be sorted in two ways:
- Ordered list: By creating a group of methods for the slice data type and calling sort
- Unordered list: The other way is to invoke sort.Slice with a custom less function
The only difference between an ordered list and an unordered list is that, in an ordered list, the order in which the items are displayed is mandatory.
An ordered list in HTML starts with an <ol> tag. Each item in the list is written in <li> tags. Here's an example:
<ol>
<li>Stones</li>
<li>Branches</li>
<li>Smoke</li>
</ol>
An example of an ordered list using Golang is shown in the following code snippet. The Employee class has Name, ID, SSN, and Age properties:
///main package has examples shown
// in Go Data Structures and algorithms book
package main
// importing fmt and sort package...
