I’m sorting a list of numbers with the following action code:
^value((collect_if(descendants(this),$Prototype=="Data Extract",$PID)).unique.sort.format("<ol>","<li>","</li>","</ol>"))^
And getting the following result:
The attribute $PID type is number. I’ve tried to change that to 05 but it doesn’t take.
Ideas?
Beck,
There’s a specific sort for number attributes .nsort(). List.nsort([$Attribute])
Does that work?
You’re welcome!
I was going to suggest that I think you can pad the single numbers for right alignment but it looks like there are a few wrinkles to that: Number.format(decimalsN[,widthN][,padStr])
Interesting! Thanks for the tip.
@brookteris correct on .nsort for sorting numbers (i.e. Number-type data). The number.format()approach, linked to above results in a _String_. If you were making zero-left-padded number strings, then.sort` would work.
Why this variation in the way things sort? See more on Lexical vs. Numeric sorting
