It took a bit longer than anticipated, mainly because I was a bit busy, but
version 0.1 of the listr package is now available from CRAN.
In this version, the package gains two new functions: list_sort and
list_filter, their purpose is probably self-explanatory.
Nonetheless, we take a closer look.
First we need a list:
my_list <- split(mtcars, mtcars$cyl)Now we can sort it using a function with list_sort:
library("listr")
my_list |>
list_sort(nrow)## $`6`
## mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb

a single numeric value per list element.
Of course there are options for sorting order and cases where the sorting
function returns NA.
The other new function list_filter works similarly:
my_list |>
list_filter(function(x) nrow(x) %% 2 == 0)## $`8`

function which in this case must return a boolean value.
You can get the latest version of listr by calling
install.packages("listr") from R.
The source code is available on my Gitlab.
