Sort task[edit]
A task for sorting dictionaries is available in the apertium-dixtools package.
Usage: apertium-dixtools sort [-group <symbol list>] [-right] [-ignorecase] <dic.dix> <out.dix>
-ignorecase ignore case when sorting
-right will sort according to value on right side (useful bidixes)
-group <commaseparated list> will group symbol categories together. For example:
-group n,n_symbol,adj,adv,vblex,vblex_symbol
will sort all nouns, adj, adv and verbs together. Other entries will be sorted separately
There are also a number of generic options
Examples[edit]
Simple sorting, piping to less
$ apertium-dixtools sort -alignBidix apertium-sv-da.sv-da.dix - | less
Sorting, grouping nouns together, overwriting the original file
$ apertium-dixtools sort -group n,n_symbol -alignBidix apertium-eo-en.en.dix apertium-eo-en.en.dix
