Feature Suggestion: Sort AC Amiibo cards by number about amiibo_network

[Ericzion1999]

Nintendo has announced new animal crossing amiibo cards
series 5 is coming😅

Hi, I understand that problem and has been asked many times to sort by AC number card, but I'm using Amiibo API to fetch the latest data and there is no numbers assigned for each card so I have no proper way to order them unless some one write down all of the numbers by hand (I can see there is a number at the side of the ammibo card image, but still)

I can you send Later the Name and the number

Thank you for the information, I will look at it after some other updates I am working

Hi, @EdwynZN! I am far from being a Flutter specialist (in fact, I never used this language before) but I decided to try things out and forked the repo to create a PR to start to implement this feature #29

It's 3:24AM, but I wrote a basic script to scrape https://animal-crossing.com/amiibo/collections/series-1-4-amiibo-cards/# and get the proper card numbers for each series instead of picking them manually:

const { writeFile } = require("fs");

const amiiboDatabase = require("./amiibos.json");
const amiiboCardsNumbered = require("./amiibosCardsNumbered.json"); // an auxiliary JSON file I created to list the card number and the card name for each series to append to the entries in amiibos.json

let amiibosWithNumbers = amiiboDatabase.amiibo;
let total = 0;

for (series in amiiboCardsNumbered) {
  for (amiibo of amiiboCardsNumbered[series]) {
    const indexAmiiboToBeReplaced = amiibosWithNumbers.findIndex(
      (a) => a.amiiboSeries === series && a.name === amiibo.name
    );

    if (indexAmiiboToBeReplaced >= 0) {
      total++;
      const amiiboWithCardNumber = {
        ...amiibosWithNumbers[indexAmiiboToBeReplaced],
        collectionNumber: amiibo.collectionNumber,
      };
      amiibosWithNumbers.splice(
        indexAmiiboToBeReplaced,
        1,
        amiiboWithCardNumber
      );
    }
  }
}

const newAmiiboDatabase = {
  ...amiiboDatabase,
  amiibo: amiibosWithNumbers,
};

writeFile(
  "./amiibos.json",
  JSON.stringify(newAmiiboDatabase, null, 2),
  (error) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error("[Error]", error);
      return;
    }
    console.log("[Success!!]", total, "cards updated!");
  }
);

Once I got (most) of that handled, all I need now is to learn Flutter (lol) and figure out what needs to be done in order to have the OrderBy considering this property.

Is there any guideline that I should follow?
