I thought, wrongly so, sort alpha text, ascending, was the default
sort line fld "imageIist" # would get you want
But the solution was simple
sort lines fld "imageList" ascend
Hmmm... I ran into this a few days ago. If you sort numeric, and any of the
values are not numeric, the sort fails silently. I would have expected it to
sort with the affinity for numeric, but that apparently is not how the sort
command works. If you were to simply sort without the numeric argue
When you add text to a number, it ceases to be a number.
If you had a space between 01-11-04-09-_2018 and the rest of the line you might
be able to
sort lines of field “TheFiles” dateTime ascending by word one of each
