Hi all,
I don't know whether this is a bug, a feature or an unforseen property of OO
sorting. Here's the problem. I am trying to do a sort based strictly on the
ascii codes of symobls in a particular column. The problem exists however I
define the category of the column be it number, text, all, etc. Here's the
problem: the ascii code of the symbol Õ (hex d5) is below the symbol Ô (hex
d4). If a do an ascending sort with these two symbols then the Ô's (d4)
appear before the Õ's (d5) which is what I want. What's really evil is that
if I embed them in strings like this: òËÕÔ225! and this òËÔÔ24!u, the first
string is sorted *before* the second string although the hex ascii codes of
the first three characters are [f2 cb d5] and [f2 cb d5], respectively. The
following number 22 vs. 24 seems to determine the sort order. The codes d4
and d5 seem to be treated identically in this context.
How can I convince OO to sort strictly on ascii codes (I have ticked the
case sensitive box in the sort options).
This should be a challenge, eh?
Cheers,
Jonathan
