sortByResourceVersion instead of generic sortKeys)Inconsistent or misleadingly named sorting functions can lead to unexpected results and bugs when code evolves. Consider this example:
// Unclear - suggests sorting by all key fields
func sortHistoryKeys(filteredKeys []DataKey, sortAscending bool) {
// But actually only sorts by ResourceVersion
sort.Slice(filteredKeys, func(i, j int) bool {
if sortAscending {
return filteredKeys[i].ResourceVersion < filteredKeys[j].ResourceVersion
}
return filteredKeys[i].ResourceVersion > filteredKeys[j].ResourceVersion
})
}
// Better - clearly indicates sorting by ResourceVersion
func sortHistoryKeysByResourceVersion(filteredKeys []DataKey, sortAscending bool) {
sort.Slice(filteredKeys, func(i, j int) bool {
if sortAscending {
return filteredKeys[i].ResourceVersion < filteredKeys[j].ResourceVersion
}
return filteredKeys[i].ResourceVersion > filteredKeys[j].ResourceVersion
})
}
When multiple components need to sort the same data structures, ensure they use the same sorting logic to prevent inconsistent results across the system.
