Open cjcodeproj opened 6 months ago

cjcodeproj commented 6 months ago

The POC tool media.tools.movies.castlist builds a list of movies for a given actor, sorted out.

Ex.

                               Once Upon A Time In Hollywood  Randy Miller                  
                               Swing Shift                    'Lucky' Lockhart

                               Tequila Sunrise                Nick Frescia                  
                               The Thing                      MacReady                      
                               Vanilla Sky                    McCabe

Unfortunately, the sort operation is a simple comparison based on the unique_key value, which isn't going to be as accurate.

This ticket needs to address two issues.

  1. The media.data.media.contents.movie.Movie class should not have __gt__, or __lt__ methods.
  2. There should be a function somewhere in the sorting code that easily generates a list of movies in title order using the new sorting frameworks. It should take a list of movie objects as an argument, and should return those same movie objects in title alphabetical order.
