Hi,
I have the same problem when sorting a single array, using 2006r4.
For example the values are read in from a database into an array
array.sort is then applied
sorted output is as follows
NCP01
NCP02
...
NCP05
NCP100
NCP67
NCP68
shouldn't the NCP100 be at the bottom of the list?
Hope someone can help
No
It's sorted like a dictionary and NOT numerically
Since the "letters" 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 sort in that order NCP0 comes
before NCP1 AND NCP100 comes before anything with NCP2
