Hello,

I have a Database of µChips and I want to sort it case insensitive and
in numerical order in the same time.

Since the name of the µChips are mostly  [:alpha:][:num:]*  I am running
into problems since the first one can have 0-5 characters.

So, what I need is to get the substring (leading  [:alpha:])  unify  and
sort it and not use a loop over it, and get all chips from the category.
Now from each category cut the  [:alpha:],  the sort numerical and after
this re-add the cuted [:alpha:].

H, first I am searching a solution the get the  Categories,  which
mean, the leading [:alpha:] AND, if numerical categories exist,  there
first number.

The listing should be something like

3
8
AW
AT
DS
ICL
LM
MAX
W

Does somone has a solution for it? (I do not like to reinvent the wheel)


sounds like the best course of action is to normalize the various bits
of data and insert/update them as seperate extra field(s?) whenever the
source data (chip name) changes ... then use the percompiled/normalized
data fields to perform simple per category searching/listing.
