Elosort is an Emacs extension that helps you to sort a set which elements aren’t sortable with “usual” commutative comparison.
The extension associates an Elo-rating for each element and lets you set a “competition” between elements. You pick a “winner” from the given pair and Elosort updates the ratings accordingly.
Create org-mode file containing a list of elements.
#+elosort_question: What is tastier?
* apple
* orange
* banana
* grape
* pear
* lemon
Start the competition with elosort-fight.
See the scoreboard with elosort-list-top.
Finally you can compare apples and oranges!
Number of comparisons required for calculating adequate rating list is proportional to square of the number of elements.
