- hchdifnfbgbf 1y agoUnicode has many different representations of digits, and I would dispute using the term “alphabetical” to refer to digit ordering in any case.
- lisper 1y agoYou are starting to sound like a troll. Yes, unicode has many representations of digits. That has nothing to do with the question of whether 2.jpg should come before or after 10.jpg.
- hchdifnfbgbf 1y agoYou think user deserve to have control, but you think that control only needs to extend to the treatment of those ten characters, nothing else? I guess your position is coherent, but it’s very silly.
- lisper 1y agoThose ten characters are of disproportionately high importance (to put it mildly).
- bmn__ 1y agoYou're wrong about that. See UTS #10 § 1.4. (I did not downvote you.)
- lisper 1y ago"Numbers. A customization may be desired to allow sorting numbers in numeric order. If strings including numbers are merely sorted alphabetically, the string “A-10” comes before the string “A-2”, which is often not desired. This behavior can be customized, but it is complicated by ambiguities in recognizing numbers within strings (because they may be formatted according to different language conventions). Once each number is recognized, it can be preprocessed to convert it into a format that allows for correct numeric sorting, such as a textual version of the IEEE numeric format."
