Lexo Rank

This package lets you generate lexo ranks in flutter. Lexo rank ordering of items in a list according to their alphabetical rank.

Usecases for lexo ranks

• We use lexo ranks whenever we have use case of rearranging list items
• instead of having integer based ranking we can have String and bucket based lexo ranks, so that rearranging list items is done in o(1) complexity. Drag and drop is a popular feature in applications. However, by implementing this functionality, you should be aware of some nuances: a large number of elements, recalculation of the positions every time and some additional logic if you have different sections in the list.
