Perl::CritiPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitReverseSortBlock(3)

NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitReverseSortBlock -
       Forbid $b before $a in sort blocks.

AFFILIATION
       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION
       Conway says that it is much clearer to use "reverse" than to flip $a
       and $b around in a "sort" block.	 He also suggests that, in newer
       perls, "reverse" is specifically looked for and optimized, and in the
       case of a simple reversed string "sort", using "reverse" with a "sort"
       with no block is faster even in old perls.

	   my @foo = sort { $b cmp $a } @bar;	      #not ok
	   my @foo = reverse sort @bar;		      #ok

	   my @foo = sort { $b <=> $a } @bar;	      #not ok
	   my @foo = reverse sort { $a <=> $b } @bar; #ok

CONFIGURATION
       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
