OK you twisted my arm into indulging in another cup of coffee (mmm.... coffee). You're correct. It only "seemed to" work with the originally given values. Changing the list to: <cfset appVers = "10.2.4,3.6.1,3.6.5,3.6.3,3.6.10,1.2.5"> Resulted in a "sorted" list of: 3.6.1, 3.6.3, 10.2.4, 1.2.5, 3.6.5, 3.6.10 > >> I was more > >> surprised that it seemed to have worked than I would have > > Exactly, and that is why I am suspicious.

At least not in the strict sense. > Hence my reluctance to say it "it works" CF -is- treating these like some sort of numeric value tho... because if I added a value like 10.2.5.4 to the original list, a numeric listSort fails saying a non-numeric value was found. So CF sees x.x.x as a valid numeric value, but apparently not base 10 based on the sorted result above. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.
