List Files Doesn't Sort Numerically |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer has filenames that are named with numbers, they do not sort according to the number. Solutions: This is working as designed; WordPerfect sorts alphanumerically. When naming numeric files in Long Display, Development suggests, "WP sorts alphanumerically, not numerically. This means that a digit is just like a letter, so just as "b" sorts after "ab", so "2" sorts after "12". If the customer uses more foresight in naming such files, then they can sort correctly: use 0001.nor, not 1.nor, etc. Then, the order will be 0001.nor, 0100.nor, 0101.nor, etc." |
