I have a table containing web site host names, most of them having
both a "name.com" and "www.name.com" version, that I'd like sorted
in the following manner:
axxx.com
www.axxx.com
bxxx.com
www.bxxx.com
wxxx.com
www.wxxx.com
zxxx.com
www.zxxx.com
Any way to do this?
Sure, just create a extra sort column, and fill it with the original
names after you stripped of the parts before the second dot, counting
from the right. I'd first count the number of dots to decide wich
fields have to be altered. Then, based on the number of dots,
calculate the position of the one but last dot and do a substring on
the field. Then sort based on that new column.
