Hello Igor, in the beginning this was an attempt to circumvent the missing DESC Indices prior to Version 3.3.0. However, it all grew and now i do all kinds of things using collations. I admit that i could achieve most of them in a different way, but i would have to change my application. The problem appeared when my users eliminated leading blanks from the data.
Is it a good idea that the actual type of the data influences whether it is compared with the collaction function or not? Imangine a table with a field of normally mixed numerical an not-numerical data. If i want to impose my own ordering, i can do this only as long as i am sure that not all rows have a numerical field value. But I really do not want to criticise. Now I know how the system works, I can program a solution.
