Framers, in the past when I sorted table rows containing numerical data, I
could put up with Frame sorting on specific digits rather than the entire
number string. For example, in an ascending sort, Frame does this:
509
5104
5105
5115
512
5120
However, I'm now working with a 41-page table containing hundreds of these
document numbers. I need them to sort correctly without post-production
fixing because I'll be resorting on a regular basis.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Rick, is there a script that would work?
Is there a 3rd party add-on available?
To fix this manually, you may insert an invisible/non-printing leading
zeroe/s as necessary in front of the shorter numeric strings.
To make insertion easier, create a "NoPrint" character format (where the
color is set to an invisible one), then create a variable named "0", which
has: <NoPrint>0
