A very efficient function for converting Chinese characters to the first letter of Pinyin

Scenario:

You need to search for users by the name keywords entered by the user. The user enters the keyword 'x' to search for users (the data comes from the table [Name field] or memory [List])

Requirements:

The resulting sorting should be:

• x

• xia

• xiao

• yx

That is:

The results containing the letter x should be displayed

The results matching the first letter should be ranked first (such as starting with x)

Same as condition 2 Under the premise, shorter results should be ranked first (for example, x is ranked before xia)
