[Kicad-developers] Bug #1752298: Clean up sorting functions for mixed text and numbers
Hello All, I started working on the bug #1752298 and I would like to get an understanding on the requirements. I feel that this is not a bug, rather it is a requirement to have a unified function for sorting. There can be many requirements for sorting in KiCAD. Therefore, before jumping into implementation, I'd like to ask what requirements we are after. One sorting mechanism can look like below. A0, A1, A2, , B0, B1, B2 C1, C2, C3, ... , AA1, AA2, ..., AB0, AB1, ... etc This can possibly be used for pin sorting (PA0, PA1, etc.) and component sorting. (J1, J2, U1, U2, etc.) Also, where do we usually store utility functions? Is there a particular namespace? Thanks!

Re: [Kicad-developers] Pointers to start contributing
Hello Guys, Thanks for the overwhelming response. I will start working on starter bugs. I'm planning to look into "Clean up sorting functions for mixed text and numbers" bug. It looks like a good place to start. Cheers! Best Regards, Pradeepa Senanayake.

[Kicad-developers] Pointers to start contributing
Hello, I've recently started using KiCAD and I absolutely love it. Since it is open-source, I though I'll contribute to the project in which ever way I can. I have been using Orcad, Altium and Eagle during my career as an Electronics Engineer and then I had to work in Software. Therefore, I'm well versed in C, C++ and Python too. I've already built the project referring the documentation. I'm planning to go through the source code to just understand the architecture. Is there an architectural document for KiCAD? If there is anyone who has time to give me any pointers, it would be greatly appreciated. You all have done an amazing job! Thanks!
