Sort library in ascending order

[Thibaut]

Hi,

I use Maxtree vegetation and they have over 100 collections created.

Currently if I arrange my collections by number, here is an example of what I see in Forest's "Library Browser":

MT_PM_V1
MT_PM_V100
MT_PM_V101
MT_PM_V102
MT_PM_V2
MT_PM_V3
MT_PM_V4
MT_PM_V5

I have the impression that only the first number is taken into account and the collections are not sorted in ascending order.

Is this problem coming from me or from the way the Library Browser reads numbers?

The solution would be for me to rename all my collections by adding zeros in front:

MT_PM_V001
MT_PM_V002
MT_PM_V003
MT_PM_V004
MT_PM_V005
MT_PM_V010
MT_PM_V100

And when Maxtree has reached collection 1000 (we have time), we will have to add a zero again.

If another solution could be put in place, it would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, as you point out, each successive character in a library name is parsed individually for the purposes of sorting. In the short term, renaming your libraries is probably a good quick fix, but I'm passing this over to the development team for further discussion and to see if anything can be done.

Thanks again for reporting it,
Paul
