Dart collections does not have a group function like Kotlin, but you can use this lib: https://pub.dev/packages/supercharged

Now you can group:

List<WorldTime> locations = [
WorldTime(url: 'Europe/London', location: 'London', flag: 'London.png'),
WorldTime(url: 'Africa/Abidjan',location:'London'),
WorldTime(url: 'Africa/Accra', location: 'Accra', flag: 'ghana.png'),
WorldTime(url: 'Africa/Algeria', location: 'Algiers', flag: 'Algeria.png'),
]

locations.groupBy((element) => element.location == 'London' ? "currentLocation" : "otherLocations")

I'm assuming you want to sort the list by location? (Sorry your question is a little confusing)

You can use the List.sort() function, it would look like this:

locations.sort((a,b) => a.location.compareTo(b.location));
print(locations)
