[LRUG] Sorting a hash by value

[George Drummond]

My solution

require 'ostruct'

collection = {
  "ami-c3c73c7f"=>"tn-example 1980-09-12T17:53:25Z",
  "ami-600925fe"=>"sns-example 1983-01-05T16:21:08Z",
  "ami-131f1007"=>"dk-example 2005-01-27T23:03:01Z",
  "ami-98d4ddef"=>"tn-example 2002-10-27T11:52:26Z",
  "ami-fe6af742"=>"sns-example 1998-11-22T09:54:51Z",
  "ami-09966e45"=>"dk-example 1993-01-09T13:23:45Z",
  "ami-44e6ee6a"=>"tn-example 2013-12-23T20:52:28Z",
  "ami-cbf7f1a9"=>"sns-example 1979-09-09T07:15:47Z",
  "ami-fcd2e7ac"=>"dk-example 2007-09-02T18:34:05Z"
}

collection_hash = collection.map do |id, value|
  type, timestamp = value.split(' ')

  OpenStruct.new(
    id: id,
    type: type,
    timestamp: Time.new(timestamp)
  )
end

collection_hash.select { |item| item.type == 'sns-example'
}.sort_by(&:timestamp)
