"...Ascending is implied when you sort numeric. " "Ascending" is the default regardless of the sortKey.

Re: sorting with number late in name
Ascending is implied when you sort numeric. If you want to sort it the other way round use: sort lines of fld 1 numeric descending by item 2 of each Tore > 7. des. 2017 kl. 00:47 skrev Dr. Hawkins via use-livecode > : > > Yes, that did it.

Re: sorting with number late in name
You could always try to set the itemDelimiter to _ and then sort the lines numeric by last item of each.

sorting with number late in name
Now that I've hit ten numbered items, I'm having an issue with maintenance routines. If I have the items p13_1.07 p13_1.08 p13_2.04 p13_10.01 I want them to sort in that order. However, the 10 will sort between the 1s and 2s. Is there a "decent" way to do this without a custom function? All I'm coming up with so far is a script that looks for a single digit number and renames to put a 0 in front of it . . . -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
