Code does not work among this set of values :
0.1
100
115.2
133.3
145
145
150
23.5
299
45
47

as can see, 23.5 should come before the hundreds but the code sorts based on the first numeric value in the number, as in 0 1 2 3 4

Hi Liana,

I never worked with “numbers” such as that, as techncially, its not a Real number. I can see the use though, perhaps in sorting “Sections” of a legal document, for example.

When I have more time, I will play with this some and post what I come up with.
