I don’t know if it’s just opera, but when you try to sort the music files by offense the 30 or pink floyd appears after a “3” when it should be on the top of the list

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

It’s not broken, it’s that whoever filled the table did it wrong.

The values are text fields, not numbers. So 3<blank> comes before 30 comes before 4<blank>

The entire table needs to use double digits (03 instead of 3) for it to sort numerically.

It’s sorting the values as if they were text instead of numbers

Why are there two identical tables?

Because someone didn’t realize there was already a page, so they made one that doesn’t work as well. As discussed in a post in this very forum, from today, albeit with a pointless uninformative title.

Someone didn’t search the wiki very carefully before creating the second one. Sucks because it was quite a bit of effort putting that thing together when I did it.

Yeah… turns out I suck at searching Log in to see images!

If the other one’s demonstrably superior, feel free to axe mine in favour of the existing one, I won’t get bumhurt over it. Just make it easier to find so no-one else throws any time into repeating the process again.

Kind of curious as to what you searched. It seems to always show up in the top 6 searches for the word “moar” and I can’t think what else one would search with.

Mentally replace “suck at searching” with “did not search”

As said, I’d made an equivalent spreadsheet for myself anyway, (bumuming that no links from the main ‘Moar Files’ page = does not exist) then putting it into wiki syntax didn’t take that much doing and I posted the thing without considering that it might already exist.

Now it turns out it’s broken because spreadsheets know how to handle/sort numbers properly because that’s what they’re made for, and wikis don’t because they’re made for text, and it already existed anyway and I wasted some time… no regrets though, it killed some otherwise dead time, and I learned some potentially useful ways of moving large numbers of cells around in Calc.
