Re: Sorting on integer attribute?

Hi Jean Pierre,

You'll want to check out Timo's solution in this thread:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2010/May/msg00086.html

I've included his classes in this email for your convenience.

It has worked very well for me for years.

==============

I did something similar before. I basically took the "Strings" class from here:

<http://weblogs.java.net/blog/skelvin/archive/2006/01/natural_string.html>

and wired it up in a EOSortOrdering.ComparisonSupport subclass derived from ERXComparisonSupport. I attached a cleaned up version of the file.

Then add something like this to your Application (if it extends ERXApplication):

@Override
public void finishInitialization() {
	super.finishInitialization();
	NaturalOrderStringSortSupport.initialize();
}


As Johann pointed out before, this is then globally used for all String sorting.

HTH,

Timo
