Alphabetical Sorting Error

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The column sorting in Report Controls does not seem to be correct, unless someone changed the alphabet and didn't tell me.  : )
The following is considered to be sorted in ascending order by the Report Control:
Bruce Wayne
COdejock Exchange
CodeToolBox.com Team
Codejock Exchange
Peter Parker
hodejock Exchange
Note that capitilizing any letter throws it off, no matter if it's the first letter (notice the h-odejock) or the fourth letter (CodeTool shows up before CodeJock).
I think the fix is probably the use of CString::CompareNoCase() instead of CString::Compare()...  now to just trace where that comparison happens...

	After changing CString::Compare to CString::CompareNoCase in the following functions it seems to work fine now: CXTPReportRecordItem::CompareGroupCaption() and CXTPReportRecordItem::Compare() I will admit that someone might want sorting to be case dependent in a Report Control, so my suggestion would be to put in a flag that allows such....??

	It is only your choice how you'd like your captions to be compared for items of your columns. You can always override this behavious for your specific items like it is shown in the standard sample in a few implementations of CompareGroupCaption method. -- WBR, Serge
