How to sort an array based on its transformation












0















I would like to sort an array:



initial_array = ['23', '504', '2']


based on the sum of each element's digits. Transformed array is:



[5, 9, 2] 


Sorting the array by the mapping:



chars.map(&:to_i).reduce(:+)


gives the sorted transformed array:



sorted_transformed_array # => [2, 5, 9]


The sorted initial array is:



['2', '23', '504']


How do I sort initial_array based on sorted_transformed_array? Is there a method that does this?



What is the difference from the sort_by! method?

          Use that transformation/calculation in combination with sort_by method



          Before ruby 2.4



          array.sort_by { |item| item.chars.map(&:to_i).reduce(0, :+) }


          Since ruby 2.4



          array.sort_by { |item| item.chars.map(&:to_i).sum }
