CMUD database records, jumbled
|
I keep making database records in CMUD (2.30), save them, then as soon as I come back to look at them they are no longer in the order I wrote them.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
The strange thing is it doesn't seem to sort the database alphabetically, it seems quite random
Any ideas?
Thanks! |

This is a feature. Database record variables are hashed in CMUD, like they are in most other languages, and they're sorted by their hash, which is pretty much a random order. If your script relied on the records being in a certain order, it can probably be improved so that it doesn't have to any more.
You can perhaps emulate the behaviour you want by checking the Sort checkbox for the variable. |

Hmm, I have some trouble with this as well, is there any way around it?

Yes, as Fang said, check the Sorted checkbox to sort the database record variable.

Even better would be to figure out how to get the result you want without expecting a specific order, as Fang said. What exactly do you want to do?
