[2.16] Possible #Sort Issues
|
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a intended consequence of the changes to data records and stringlists, but sort seems to be purely cosmetic. For example, I recently made a 35 key data record with numbered keys ie 01-35 and the record automatically sorted itself from 01-29 but put 30 at position 1. This has been consistent across several similar tests. Now if you sort the list and try to reference position 1 in code, it will not give you the sorted key but rather unsorted one. So a reference to position 1 will give 30 no matter if the list is sorted or not. A minor issue in addition this is the need to reset the sort flag on every variable at the beginning of every session.
Should I consider these to be features and search for alternatives? |

It definitely looks like this option isn't getting saved. I am also seeing some other weird issues with it. I would suggest for the time being going around the lack of saving on the option by using #SORT in an onLoad event.

How are you sorting the list? A code snippet would probably be helpful in this report. A method to reproduce the issue would be ideal.

Using the testsort alias here to find key "31" in a sorted list produces 2. |

Yes, CMUD currently doesn't save the #sort flag for variables. This has been added to the bug list.
