The present sorting method commonly used by file management applications is to judge which file is in front of which file is in back by judging the attributes of two files, and each time judging whether the attribute of the file needs to be read, such as whether the file is a file, the size of the file, the time of the file, etc.; if 100 files are provided, each sorting needs to be performed 100 × 1 to 100 × 100 times of comparison, the number of times of comparison is increased by the square, and when there are many files, if the file system is slow at this time, the sorting speed is abnormally slow, which greatly affects the user experience.

In order to improve the sorting speed, an embodiment of the present application provides an object sorting method, which may determine an object in a directory corresponding to a sorting instruction, search, according to an object path corresponding to the determined object, target attribute information corresponding to the sorting instruction from attribute information of the object included in a data information table, and then sort the determined object based on the target attribute information.

In some embodiments, a flowchart of the object sorting method executed by the terminal device may be shown in fig. 3, and includes the following steps:

step S301, responding to the sorting instruction of the target attribute information, and determining the object under the directory corresponding to the sorting instruction.

Wherein the sorting instruction is used for indicating that the objects are sorted according to the target attribute information. The object may be a subdirectory under the directory, or may be a file under the directory. For example, the directory may be a folder, and the folder may include only files, only subfolders, and also subfolders and files.

Step S302, according to the determined object path corresponding to the object, searching for target attribute information corresponding to the sorting instruction from the attribute information of the object included in the data information table.

The data information table may store at least one attribute information and an object path corresponding to the object, where the at least one attribute information is stored in the data information table when the object operation is performed. The object operation may be one of a view operation on the object, a sort operation on the object, and an edit operation on the object.

The attribute information of the object may be a name of the object, a size of the object, a type of the object, a time of the object, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

According to the determined object path corresponding to the object, the attribute information having a binding relationship with the object path can be searched in the data information table, and the target attribute information can be determined in the searched attribute information. Wherein the attribute type of the target attribute information is the attribute type indicated by the sorting instruction.

Step S303, the determined objects are sorted based on the target attribute information.

After the target attribute information corresponding to the objects in the directory is found, the determined objects can be sorted according to the target attribute information.

When the determined objects are sorted, the objects can be compared pairwise according to the target attribute information corresponding to the objects, and which object is in front of the object is judged, and which object is behind the object. For example, a directory contains 5 objects, namely an object a, an object B, an object C, an object D, and an object E, and the objects need to be sorted according to their sizes from large to small. Assuming that the size of object A is 2.1M, the size of object B is 1.3M, the size of object C is 3.2M, the size of object D is 2.3M, and the size of object E is 1.5M, object A and object B may be compared first, and since 2.1M is greater than 1.3M, object A should be ranked in front of object B, which is ranked ABCDE. Object a can then be compared to object C, which should be ranked ahead of object a since 2.1M is less than 3.2M, this time ranked as CABDE. Object D may then be compared to object C, which should be placed in front of object D since 2.3M is less than 3.2M, and then object D may also be compared to object a since 2.3M is greater than 2.1M, which should be placed in front of object a, this time in the order CDABE. Then object E can be compared to object C, since 1.5M is less than 3.2M, object C should be placed in front of object E, then object E should also be compared to object D, since 1.5M is less than 2.3M, object D should be placed in front of object E, then object E should also be compared to object a, since 1.5M is less than 2.1M, object a should be placed in front of object E, then object E should also be compared to object B, since 1.5M is greater than 1.3M, object E should be placed in front of object B, this time the ranking is CDAEB. Therefore, the sorting process of sorting the object A, the object B, the object C, the object D and the object E according to the sizes of the objects from large to small can be completed, and the obtained final sorting is CDAEB.

In an embodiment, before the determined objects are sorted based on the target attribute information, if the target attribute information cannot be found from the data information table, the objects under the directory may be accessed through the encapsulation interface, at least one attribute information corresponding to the objects is read, the at least one attribute information and the object path corresponding to the objects are stored in the data information table, and the target attribute information corresponding to the objects is determined according to the sorting instruction.

The object sorting method provided in the embodiment of the application, in response to a sorting instruction for the object attribute information, may determine an object in a directory corresponding to the sorting instruction, and search for the object attribute information corresponding to the sorting instruction from the attribute information of the object included in the data information table according to a determined object path corresponding to the object, where at least one attribute information and an object path corresponding to the object are stored in the data information table, and the at least one attribute information is stored in the data information table when the object operation is performed, and finally sort the determined object based on the object attribute information. When objects are sorted according to the target attribute information, the target attribute information is searched from the data information table instead of directly reading the target attribute information corresponding to the objects through the interface, so that the sorting speed of sorting the objects can be improved.

In other embodiments, a flowchart of the object sorting method executed by the terminal device may be shown in fig. 4, and includes the following steps:

step S401, responding to the ordering instruction of the target attribute information, and determining the object under the directory corresponding to the ordering instruction.

Wherein the sorting instruction is used for indicating that the objects are sorted according to the target attribute information.

Step S402, according to the determined object path corresponding to the object, searching the object attribute information corresponding to the sorting instruction from the object attribute information included in the data information table.

The data information table may store at least one attribute information and an object path corresponding to the object, where the at least one attribute information is stored in the data information table when the object operation is performed.

The data information table may be a hash table (HashMap) or a database, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

HashMap is a data mapping structure for finding value according to key code, and said structure can find place for storing value by means of key code mapping position, i.e. can utilize key code value to map into a position in the table to access record so as to quicken search speed.

According to the determined object path corresponding to the object, the attribute information having the binding relationship with the object path can be searched in the data information table, and the target attribute information can be determined in the searched attribute information. Wherein the attribute type of the target attribute information is the attribute type indicated by the sorting instruction.

Step S403, determining whether the target attribute information is found from the data information table; if not, executing step S404; if so, step S5405 is performed.

Step S404, accessing the object in the directory through the packaging interface, reading at least one attribute information corresponding to the object, storing the at least one attribute information and the object path corresponding to the object into a data information table, and determining the target attribute information corresponding to the object according to the sorting instruction.

Step S405, sorts the determined objects based on the target attribute information.

The method includes the steps of judging whether target attribute information can be found from a data information table or not, if the target attribute information cannot be found, accessing an object under a directory through a packaging interface, reading at least one attribute information corresponding to the object, storing the at least one attribute information and an object path corresponding to the object into the data information table, and determining the target attribute information corresponding to the object according to a sorting instruction. After the target attribute information corresponding to the object is determined, all the objects in the directory can be sorted according to the target attribute information.

If the target attribute information can be found, all objects under the directory can be sorted directly by the target attribute information.

For example, 100 files are contained under one folder, the sorting instruction is to sort the 100 files under the folder from large to small, the size information of the files can be searched from all the file attributes included in the HashMap according to the paths corresponding to the 100 files respectively, and if the size information of the 50 th file cannot be searched from the HashMap, the 50 th file under the folder can be accessed through the encapsulation interface, all the file attributes corresponding to the 50 th file are read, all the file attributes corresponding to the 50 th file and the path corresponding to the 50 th file are stored in the HashMap, and the file size information corresponding to the 50 th file is determined. After the file size information corresponding to the 100 files in the folder is found, the 100 files can be sorted in the descending order.

In one embodiment, a new set of File interfaces may be packaged based on HashMap or a database, for example: when a user views, edits and the like a file, the user can access the file through the packaging interface, read all file attribute information corresponding to the file, and store all file attribute information corresponding to the file and a path corresponding to the file into a HashMap or a database.

When a user clicks a file management application in the terminal device and enters a folder, the terminal device may list all files in the folder in a list file manner. For example, after clicking on a file management class application in the terminal device, the user may present a terminal device interface as shown in fig. 5, and as can be seen from fig. 5, the application may include an ABC folder, and after clicking into the ABC folder, the user may present all files under the folder. The terminal device may receive a sorting instruction sent by the user to sort the target file attribute information of all files in the folder. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the user may select a ranking manner for ranking the files, including by name, by type, from small to large, from large to small, from old to new, and from new to old, etc.

In response to the sorting instruction, the terminal device may search, according to paths corresponding to all files in the folder, file attributes having a binding relationship with the paths in a HashMap or a database, and determine target file attribute information in the file attributes. If the target File attribute information cannot be found in the HashMap or the database, accessing the File corresponding to the target File attribute information which cannot be found in the folder through a File interface of a platform standard, reading all File attribute information corresponding to the File, storing all File attribute information corresponding to the File and a path corresponding to the File into the HashMap or the database, and obtaining the target File attribute information corresponding to the File according to a sorting instruction. And finally, sequencing all files in the folder according to the determined attribute information of the target file.

The encapsulation interface can be used as a platform general service, for data stored in the encapsulation interface, other applications can also use the encapsulation interface to read file attribute information, and a plurality of applications in the terminal equipment can continuously maintain the set of HashMap or the database, so that the speed of reading the file attribute information becomes faster and faster along with the enrichment of the data, and the integrity and the accuracy of the HashMap and the database can also be ensured. Meanwhile, the embodiment of the application queries the File attribute information of the File through a brand-new packaged interface, has strong operability of modification and transplantation, can be realized only by replacing the original files with HmctFastfiles in batches, and can be adapted more quickly.

According to the object sorting method provided by the embodiment of the application, when objects are sorted according to the target attribute information, the target attribute information is searched from the data information table instead of directly reading the target attribute information corresponding to the objects through the interface, so that the problem that when the objects in a platform with poor performance are sorted, the file management application sorting is stuck due to slow file system can be solved, the sorting efficiency can be greatly improved, and the sorting time can be reduced. For example, when a platform with poor performance does not adopt the sorting method to sort 1000 files, about 50s of time is consumed, and when the sorting method is adopted, only 3-5s of time is consumed, so that the sorting efficiency is greatly improved.

The object sorting method shown in fig. 3 is based on the same inventive concept, and an embodiment of the present application further provides an object sorting apparatus, which may be arranged in a terminal device. Because the device is a device corresponding to the object sorting method of the application and the principle of solving the problem of the device is similar to that of the method, the implementation of the device can refer to the implementation of the method, and repeated details are not repeated.

Fig. 6 shows a schematic structural diagram of an object sorting apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, the object sorting apparatus includes an object determining unit 601, an attribute searching unit 602, and an object sorting unit 603.

The object determining unit 601 is configured to determine, in response to a sorting instruction for the target attribute information, an object in a directory corresponding to the sorting instruction; the ordering instruction is used for indicating that the objects are ordered according to the target attribute information;

the attribute searching unit 602 is configured to search, according to a determined object path corresponding to the object, target attribute information corresponding to the sorting instruction from attribute information of the object included in the data information table, where at least one attribute information and object path corresponding to the object are stored in the data information table; at least one attribute information is stored in the data information table when the object operation is carried out;

an object sorting unit 603 configured to sort the determined objects based on the target attribute information.

In a possible implementation manner, the attribute lookup unit 602 is specifically configured to:

according to the determined object path corresponding to the object, searching attribute information having a binding relationship with the object path in a data information table;

and determining target attribute information in the searched attribute information, wherein the attribute type of the target attribute information is the attribute type indicated by the sorting instruction.

In a possible implementation manner, the attribute lookup unit 602 is further configured to:

if the target attribute information cannot be found from the data information table, accessing the object under the directory through the packaging interface, reading at least one attribute information corresponding to the object, and storing the at least one attribute information and the object path corresponding to the object into the data information table; and

and determining target attribute information corresponding to the object according to the sequencing instruction.

In one possible implementation, the object is one of a subdirectory and a file.

In one possible implementation, performing object operations includes:

one of a view operation on the object, a sort operation on the object, and an edit operation on the object.
