How can I sort *[]Byte?
I was trying to use the following function but it’s not working fine.
sort.Slice(src, func(i, j int) bool { return bytes.Compare((*src)[i], (*src)[j]) < 0 })
Getting this error: cannot use (*src)[i] (variable of type byte) as []byte value in argument to bytes.Comparecompiler
Any suggestion?

The signature of bytes.Compare
is:
func Compare(a, b []byte) int
So it doesn’t compare individual bytes, it compares slices of bytes.
Instead of using it in your less
function, just compare the byte values:
sort.Slice(src, func(i, j int) bool { return (*src)[i] < (*src)[j]) })
