Hi, I need to sort the result set of a search. But the common sort mechanisms I’m familiar with won’t get me where I need. I’m sure this is a common problem and much better developers then I know the name of it and how to execute it in Livecode. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the problem:
I execute a search for “187” and get the following results: NOTE: The search term will always start with one or more numeric characters and possibly be appended by punctuation or other alpha characters. Alpha sort Desired Sort 187 187 187.01 187a 187.02 187 (a) 187.1 187 (a)(1) 187.22 187 (b) 187.234 187 (b)(1) 187.3 187c 187.33 187.c 187.456 187.01 10187 187.02 18700 187.1 187 (a) 187.1.1 187 (a)(1) 187.1.2 187 (b) 187.3 187 (b)(1) 187.22 187.1.1 187.33 187.1.2 187.234 187.c 187.456 187a 10187 187c 18700 Kindest regards, Scott _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
