What version of CF?

Correction, it's only on OpenBD 1.3, that I have the problem. I will file a bug with them. Thanks, tom Hmm, OK ...

I output the listSorted()'d values, they looked to be sorted. So it seems to. As to whether or not it *really* works, I will admit that I hadn't had a full cup of coffee when testing. But I agree with you... I was more surprised that it seemed to have worked than I would have been had it not. FWIW, sorting by text did not work. Well, it worked as one might have expected it to (putting 3.6.10 and 3.6.1 next to each other), but not in the way that the OP was looking for it to work. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

Re: List Sort help
What would be the difference between *really* working and just seeming to? For me ... more testing and more coffee ;-) Specifically with a greater range of values, such as version numbers before and after the 3.x.x range. I was more surprised that it seemed to have worked than I would have Exactly, and that is why I am suspicious. I was not expecting text to work at all, for obvious reasons. Neither was I expecting numeric to work because values like 3.6.1 are not numeric. At least not in the strict sense. Hence my reluctance to say it it works -Leigh ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337342 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

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. I was not expecting text to work at all, for obvious reasons. Neither was I expecting numeric to work because values like 3.6.1 are not numeric. 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.

Re: List Sort help
So CF sees x.x.x as a valid numeric value WTH,, x.x.x is numeric but x.x.x.X is not? Maybe CF is treating x.x.x as some weird date format, and that is how it is able to sort numerically sort-of... ? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337345 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
