`sorted-groups` implement a data structure to store elements in sorted groups while maintaining the order of elements in each group.
## Usage
First, add the `sorted_groups` crate as a dependency:
```sh
cargo add sorted_groups
```
```rust
use sorted_groups::SortedGroups;
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, Ord, Debug)]
struct Element {
group: i32,
value: i32,
}
impl PartialOrd for Element {
fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<std::cmp::Ordering> {
Some(self.cmp(other))
}
}
// Elements will be grouped by the `group` field
assert_eq!(sorted_groups.len(), 3);
// `groups_len` returns the number of groups
assert_eq!(sorted_groups.groups_len(), 2);
// `iter` returns an iterator over groups and elements
let mut iter = sorted_groups.iter();
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some((&1, &Element { group: 1, value: 1 })));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some((&1, &Element { group: 1, value: 2 })));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some((&2, &Element { group: 2, value: 3 })));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
```
