in reply to Question on alpanumeric sorting
So you apparently want this order:
Or, given that the line start is always the same, basically, you want this order:MAINUI_PF_4.0.001.10BA.8669 MAINUI_PF_4.0.001.10AU.1898 MAINUI_PF_4.0.001.10AV.7890 MAINUI_PF_4.0.001.8Q.7769
You obviously are not sorting on the last field, so that the sort key presumably boils down to:10BA.8669 10AU.1898 10AV.7890 8Q.7769
10BA 10AU 10AV 8Q
But even with this simplified view of your data to be sorted, I am at trouble figuring out the sorting rules that can lead to such an order.
Can you please explain your sorting rules?
