Hi Mattes,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to disable locale-based sorting in
the ZBS outline tree, and use ascii-sorting, or simple natural sorting
(number / ascii-char chunks) instead.
ZBS uses SortChildren method of wxTreeCtrl to sort, so it doesn't have
much control over how it's done (and can't replace it with a custom
"compare" function as it's not exposed in wxlua).
Note that the Project filelist tree actually uses a different sorting method,
one that seems to be smarter, though not yet there: It ignores the "ch"
stupidity of my locale, but sorts numbers this way:
The list of files is sorted in Lua, so probably uses a different algorithm.
I can probably add a custom sorting to the project filelist, which you
can then use to provide your own sort function (maybe one of the
number friendly ones from this list:
http://notebook.kulchenko.com/algorithms/alphanumeric-natural-sorting-for-humans-in-lua),
but it's trickier for the outline as it's recalculated/resorted every
time the functions change. I'll take a look if I can make it work, but
maybe it's simpler to set the locale (to a better one) before
launching the IDE?
Paul.
