Hi Phoenix, I use a similar algorithm, but in this case, you should be padding the just portion before the decimal point with zeros.
9.3[0000009.3] 750.350[0000750.350] I use a FrameScript script to do the padding so it is automated and painless. If you can send me a sample document, I will give you a price on a script. If you don't have FrameScript, the cost is 25% off this week. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Is there an easy way to sort numeric index entries with decimal points...? As the reference page exists, my numerics are sorted according to the number appearing as the first number to the left of the decimal point - that results in my numbers not sorting correctly. For example, 9.3 appears after 750.350 because 9 is larger than 0. My current fix is to pad with zeros the numbers in my marker box by following the actual marker text with brackets enclosing the number to be sorted with the padded zeros. For example, 750.350[75000350] and 9.3[90000003]. My books contain up to 100 legal statutory references and this process is tedious and incredibly time consuming. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
