"""
|
|
The approach taken is explained below. I decided to do it simply.
|
|
Initially I was considering parsing the data into some sort of
|
|
structure and then generating an appropriate README. I am still
|
|
considering doing it - but for now this should work. The only issue
|
|
I see is that it only sorts the entries at the lowest level, and that
|
|
the order of the top-level contents do not match the order of the actual
|
|
entries.
|
|
|
|
This could be extended by having nested blocks, sorting them recursively
|
|
and flattening the end structure into a list of lines. Revision 2 maybe ^.^.
