I can think of a number of workarounds, i was just wondering if there was a
built in function to accomplish the sorting....
changing the format may be a good solution though...
allthough it would change the number 1 to 01...
that number would not match up with the uniqueid in the database anymore...
I guess i would just need to reformat it when comparing it to the database
with something like
numberformat(numb, "0") ???
the list wouldnt work since all the form fields are radio buttons and some
will not exist if they werent selected, I can keep them all alive through
dynamic cfparams on the action page which would keep all fields in the
collection...but form.fieldnames would only hold fields that were selected
before the form was submitted
i COULD move the params to the top of the form i suppose but like i
said...the list could potentially get very large so I'd rather stay away
from too many list functions
thanks for the response !
