[pmwiki-users] pagelist sorting

[Hladůvka Jiří]

Them you have to plan how many digits can be and use leading zeros
300000 for 300,000 books
000025 for 25 books
(stupid, isn't it ?)

Just an idea:
We should need some formatting markups e.g.
(:value {$:var} <oper> <format>:)
(:string  {$:var} <oper> <format>:)

where
    "value" transforms page text variable as string to formatted number
    "string" transforms page text variable as number  to formatted string

    <oper> :=  replace | display
                      replace  {$:var} with the result or
                      displays the result

    <format>  places before decimal comma, places after decimal comma | 
formatting template (e.g. 99 999,99 or Z9 999.99 )

example:
var1:25

(:value {$:var1} display 7,2:) results to 0000025.00 displayed on the page
(:value {$:var1} replace  7,2:) results to 0000025.00 saved to var1 (ROS 
? , on submit ?)

(:string {$:var1} display Z99:) results to 025 displayed on the page
(:string {$:var1} display B9999:) results to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25 
displayed on the page
(:string {$:var1} replace  Z99:) results to 025 saved to var1 (ROS ? , 
on submit ?)

May be PHP has different formatting patterns (I'm not php coder) and
a discusion could be useful.

Regards,
Jiri
