Title: Problems with sorting by quantity
Post by: shaggy on November 17, 2005, 09:32:58 AM
I click on quantity in my collection to sort by quantity but it doesn't work 100%.  It sorts 4 out of the 6 pages for my NES games correctly but the other 2 pages aren't sorted.  Please fix!  :)

All should be better. You had spaces in some of your quantity fields and it was screwing up the sorting, but it's fixed now.

Well thank you.  I didn't know I put spaces in but I must have.  Thanks again, Storm.

Did this fix by any chance change the way zero is viewed vs a blank (not sure if it's null or a space).  I use zero as an indicator that I do not have an item and a blank to indicate that I need to verify if I have an item.  Now when I view my collection I don't see zeros I just see blanks.  I can no longer tell which is which but if I edit the record the zeros are there.  Let me know if something changed and if it can be corrected to allow viewing these differently.

Maybe to solve future problems you could default the numbers when adding games to your collection as a 1 in each field rather than a blank entry field?

I was lucky enough to have all my games sorted out so i know al my blanks used to be 0s

Not exactly sure what you are saying Iz, my problem is not with any default setting.  I just want to be able to be able to tell the difference between a blank and a zero.  In the future I wouldn't mind doing something like putting a character in those that I need to check, like a - or a ?.  The only problem is now with close to 1700 records I can't find the ones I need to change from a blank to that character.

Yea my comment was pretty unrelated to yours other than the fact that people would be more likely to enter a number then.

Since it starts with a blank alot of people don't bother entering a quantity into all fields and just leave it blank.

bum-man I'm looking into your problem.  At first glance I don't see why it isn't displaying the zeros.  I'll let you know when I find out what's wrong.

EDIT: Stupid mistake as usual.  It's fixed.

Cool, it still sorts the blanks in with the zeros but at least I can see them.  Thanks St0rm.
