Description
I'm working on a simple inventory node.
One of the text fields is 'value' and contains numbers.
Currently, when the tabular view is sorted by this column, it does not fall into proper numerical order. It seems to use a kind of first letter alphabetical system rather than decimal so that
eg output of sort ascending
what should read
0
1
2
3
4
10
3000
comes out as
0
1
10
2
3
3000
4
see what i mean?
So, how easy would it be to create a Number field for use in the creation of flexinodes?
how difficult would it be to then implement a 'column total' (dynamic field) on the tabular view?
You see where I'm going with this?
I can't decide whether to file this as a bug report or a feature request!
#1
I know that there is already a number field type available. However, this field still does not sort properly in the Table or tabular view. It sorts alphabetically like described above. It needs to be sorted numerically.
Is it posible to make this work or do I need to find another solution outside of Flexinode?
#2
did anyone ever fix this?
I'm still having this problem.
Cheers
