--- Comment #4 from Bawolff <[email protected]> 2011-04-15 19:13:41 UTC --- Actually both can be output now. the actual sortkey as specified by humans is called sortkey_prefix (may or may not have the underscore in the api, can't remember). The question is, what are users of the api using the original sortkey for - to show what its sorted under, or to sort items. One of the rationales for doing it as it is currently (binary data in sortkey field) is if people are using the info from the api to sort things, they would want to sort by comparing the binary field. So doing it this way somewhat preserves the semantics of the original field in a sense See bug 24650 hex might be the way to go here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
