What it is
jsort is a Python command-line tool that orders lines, paragraphs, or whole files along a plain-English dimension. It is for anyone who needs to rank or measure text by a qualitative criterion.
How it uses Jev
jsort shows Jev two texts at a time and asks which ranks higher on the described dimension. Jev returns a probability in about 200 ms. jsort fits a Bradley-Terry scale to these answers and prints texts from the top of the scale down, optionally with scores and standard errors.
Primitives:noul
Technique worth stealing
Fit a Bradley-Terry scale to pairwise Jev Noul comparisons to turn qualitative rankings into a quantitative measurement.
Try it
uv tool install jev-sort, then run jsort "more urgent" tickets.txt
Evidence
Each line is one question put to Jev about the README. ≥ 0.60 reads as yes, ≤ 0.40 as no; in between Jev is not making a call.
