New topic in General: How to sort dates BC and dates AD in the same listbox column
isomfield - Sat Mar 29, 2008 1:58 am <http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=21506> Hi, I hope someone can save my remaining hair I have a list of dates in a listbox that I wish to sort as follows: 1953BC 1066BC 333BC 332BC 22BC 21BC 2BC 1BC 1 2 21 22 332 333 1066 1953 Does anyone have any ideas - I have been experimenting with leading spaces but that is only partially successful - I can get all the three number dates at the top of the list followed by the two then the one, but within each block of numbers of the same length they sort ascending. (the symmetry of the dates was just to make the list easier to write - they are actually totally random & right justified.) _________________ Cheers Greg Olson-Hyde RB 2007r5 Pro, Mac OS X 10.4.11 -- Over 900 classes with 18000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in.
