Re^10: Sorting text-number values

Thanks for that and all your other contributions this morning. It is not quite what I thought.

However, johngg's pointer to storing the sorted data means that say is no longer required and the problem goes away.

I think my overall problem was that I do not understand what 'say' does. So far I have failed to find an explanation but I will continue my search!

"I think my overall problem was that I do not understand what 'say' does. So far I have failed to find an explanation but I will continue my search!" Did you read the docs: say? Let me know if you need further explanation or a suggestion for improving this entry.	[reply]
