sort numbers stored as text.

[rgfuller]

Hello, I would like to sort numbers stored as text as numbers – so a file named 11-something will not sort before a file named 5-something in an ascending list.

Could this option be added?

Thanks very much.

@rgfuller. Thanks for your question. It is a good one. I haven’t tested this, but please try it and let me know. All you have to do is to change the contents of the compareName function in easyfolderlistingpro.php.

You should find this:

static function compareName($x, $y)<br /> {<br /> if ($x[&#039;name&#039;] == $y[&#039;name&#039;])<br /> {<br /> return 0;<br /> }<br /> elseif ($x[&#039;name&#039;] &lt; $y[&#039;name&#039;])<br /> {<br /> return -1;<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> return 1;<br /> }<br /> }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

static function compareName($x, $y)<br /> {<br /> if ($x[&#039;name&#039;] == $y[&#039;name&#039;])<br /> {<br /> return 0;<br /> }<br /> elseif ($x[&#039;name&#039;] &lt; $y[&#039;name&#039;])<br /> {<br /> return -1;<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> return 1;<br /> }<br /> }

Change it to:

static function compareName($x, $y)<br /> {<br /> return strnatcmp($x[&#039;name&#039;], $y[&#039;name&#039;]);<br /> }

1 2 3 4

static function compareName($x, $y)<br /> {<br /> return strnatcmp($x[&#039;name&#039;], $y[&#039;name&#039;]);<br /> }

Let me know if it works.
