GEV-sorting
dunno if this has ever been brought to your attention (little low on time to search) but when sorting for money, it likes to base it off of the first character in the price, rather than the full numerical value (ie, 10,000 would be higher on the list than 9)... if possible, could this be adjusted?

I think I heard about that, its got something to with the code not recognising 0's or something, afraid there's not really much we can do about it.

Re: GEV-sorting
I suspect it is because it is a character search, which I think is based on the ancient ASCII codes for the individual characters, so it is effectively treating the numbers as words.

yea, i kinda guessed the simplified version of that (treating as words)aRJay wrote:I suspect it is because it is a character search, which I think is based on the ancient ASCII codes for the individual characters, so it is effectively treating the numbers as words.
Re: GEV-sorting
The scripts is a third party ajax data table system. Its pretty flexible but also slightly complicated to make changes to. I've not yet found a way to enable the script to do both numeric and alphanumeric sorts. It seems to be be one or the other. It's possible but I gave up after an hour of trying when I first spotted the issue and not returned to it yet....
Perhaps some Ajax Guru out there would like to contact me in private and help resolve that one. Please only if you are as I say an Ajax Guru

Re: GEV-sorting
Bumped into that soting problem also.
Don't know if it helps, but here goes a link of a JS library that it is supposed to be able to sort columns of different types:

Sorry if it completly misses the point, but I just started playing this game 4 days ago and I also am not an expert, but it is a library, so either it works or not LOL
