I believe you are correct..  I ran into the same issue, however, I was able
to use a method getPrimaryKeyAsBigDecimal to return a bigdecimal for
sorting.

Although, having seen your email, I wish I had just patched NumberKey
instead!

Subject: NumberKey Ordering


Apologies if this has already been addressed, but I did not see anything in 
the archives.

I am trying to use a NumberKey to order elements in a 
TreeMap.  Unfortunately, it appears that NumberKeys do not sort properly.

The code to ObjectKey (which implements the compareTo method from the 
Comparable interface) seems to indicate that the compareTo being invoked 
performs a String comparison, which is incorrect for numeric keys.  Is this 
correct, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Runako Godfrey
