shhhhh your not ment to aurgue and be right LOL
/me thinks quickly of an excuse
Ha! you never said $sorttok(,n), hmmmm not really a good excuse was it
Truthfully it wasnt ment as a realistic example, just something i wipped up in the forum editor, however this is interesting, differing results, either can be deemed correct.
//echo $!sort5.. $sort5(z,A,4,-4.4,-4) | echo $!sorttok $sorttok(z A 4 -4.4 -4,32,n)
$sort5.. -4.4 -4 4 A z [color:blue]numeric values first then alpha sorted[/color]
$sorttok -4.4 -4 z A 4 [color:blue]all values made numeric, (z & A) appear in order passed as both are zero[/color]
* yes i do admit i said 5 numbers, just thought this was interesting to note
