Blog Post: Taking Control of Map Sort Order in Elixir

This is great, and I love that you shared your personal ~/.iex.exs, definitely gives me some ideas!

I’ll add that I’m also a big fan of defaulting to always printing charlists as lists of numbers:

IEx.configure(
  inspect: [
    charlists: :as_lists
  ]
)

This prevents the common confusion of wondering why the list of integers you were operating on suddenly renders as text.
