That would work until some idiot (like me) tried to sort a list containing asterisks.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Hugh. Of course, another solution might be to write a polite letter to whoever is giving you this data suggesting they collect it differently in the first place. :-) Cheers Dave___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Intelligent sorting: A bit of a poser RESULTS CORRECTION
I made an inexcusable error when applying the solutions in the benchtests. When adjusting Mike's solution to handle commas in the list I omitted to adjust the itemDel. The corrected solution is below. As a result, Mike's solution is not only very fast, but also sub-sorts the alpha component and handles mixed suffix components (which is very cool). However, as pointed out, it cannot handle alpha-only list items. Dave's solution can handle lists with or without numbers, but the sort order is inexact. Using the insights of both solutions, I have based a composite solution on Mike's routine adjusted with the flexibility Dave's routine. It has Mike's speed and ability to sort mixed suffixes, but includes Dave's ability to sort mixed alpha-only and alphanumeric lists. I think this provides the best of everything for a generic library function... function sortMe5 pList --| Hugh Senior --| Based on a solution by Mike Bonner set the itemDel to numtochar(8) repeat for each line theLine in pList if matchchunk(theLine,"([a-zA-Z\s]\d)",theChar,theEnd) then put numtochar(8) after char theChar of theLine else put numtochar(8) after theLine put theLine & CR after tTemp end repeat delete last char of tTemp sort lines of tTemp numeric by item 2 of each sort lines of tTemp by item 1 of each replace numtochar(8) with "" in tTemp return tTemp end sortMe5 a 1 b20 a 20 a 2 b10 a 3 b3 a 1a b2 a 10 b1a d c b a gives... a a 1 a 1a a 2 a 3 a 10 a 20 b b1a b2 b3 b10 b20 c d Prior Work... function sortMe1 pVar --| Mike Bonner set the itemDel to numtochar(8) repeat for each line theLIne in PVar get matchchunk(theLine,"([a-zA-Z\s]\d)" , theChar,theEnd ) put numtochar(8) after char theChar of theLine put theLine & return after tTemp end repeat delete the last char of tTemp sort lines of tTemp ascending numeric by item 2 of each sort lines of tTemp ascending by item 1 of each replace numtochar(8) with empty in tTemp return tTemp end sortMe1 function sortMe2 tData --| Dave Cragg set the itemDel to numtochar(8) put "(^.*?)([0-9]*$)" into tRE put "" into tData2 repeat for each line tLine in tData get matchText(tLine, tRE, tS, tNum) put tS & numtochar(8) & tNum & cr after tData2 end repeat sort lines of tData2 numeric by item -1 of each sort lines of tData2 by item 1 of each put "" into tData3 repeat for each line tLine in tData2 put item 1 to -2 of tLine & item -1 of tLine & cr after tData3 end repeat return tData3 end sortMe2 /H ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
