| 04:42 | <zewt> | apparently youtube now eats all of my browser hotkeys, awesome |
| 04:42 | <zewt> | alt-d? ctrl-t? nope sorry |
| 13:54 | <veosotano> | hello |
| 22:27 | <Hixie> | how should "01.5b" vs "1.50a" sort relative to each other |
| 22:27 | <Hixie> | ? |
| 22:28 | <Hixie> | or maybe "01.5b", "1.50a", and "2e-5" would be better examples |
| 22:28 | <Hixie> | clearly the third of those comes first, i hope we all agree |
| 22:28 | <Hixie> | but which of the next two? and why? |
| 22:53 | <zewt> | for direct sorts, with nothing to give a particular interpretation, i'd go with a simple sort, so 01.5b < 0.2 < 1.50a |
| 22:53 | <zewt> | er, didn't check the sort order on . above, but you get what i mean |
| 22:54 | <zewt> | "natural" sorts are useful ("foo 1 bar" < "foo 2 bar" < "foo 10 bar") are useful, but probably not always wanted |
| 23:00 | <zewt> | (maybe in this case a natural sort might be a better default, if it's not always known what the type of the data is, but i'd hope there'd still be a plain sort available) |
| 23:55 | <Hixie> | well that's an interesting point |
| 23:55 | <Hixie> | hmmmmm |
| 23:55 | <Hixie> | i don't want to try to specify a natural sort, that seems like a lot of work :-P |
