how would you implement this normalizer?
...e other way aroud.
I am only sorting for views, so it would be OK to do some
normalization on-the-fly on Ruby land, and since the same criteria
has to be used throughout the application I was thinking on some sort
of generator whose usage would be:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
normalize_for_sorting :surname
end
The intention is not to modify surname, we need it in the views,
normalize_for_sroting would generate a method
User#surname_for_sorting and configure it as a creation/finding
filter that applies the necessary tr///. The aim is:
* We normalize the strings once and store...
