Bob, ever think of...

Posted by wendy b. on May 29, 2003, at 8:01:34

... alphabetizing the lists of old-timers on the 2000 and the 2001 boards? I was looking at them today, and it's so hard to find names in them. Seems like it would just need a "sort" function to list them alphabetically.

I know, I know, just one more thing to do... (But it sure would help us ADHD-ers...)

With many kind regards,

Wendy

..or how about copying and pasting into my own word processing program, and doing my own "sort"? I don't necessarily have a particular person I'm looking for, but scanning that unalphabetized list just gives me a headache...

Oh, well.

........ kisser?

And who better than lovely Slinky? (I'd say she has the most experience in this sort of thing...)

Doc Bob,

How difficult would it be to alphabetize those lists? Are they listed under the order in which they joined? If so then why not have the dates they joined as well if that is the way they are listed?

I agree alphabetized would be easier but if you're saying cut and paste and sort ourselves well then I guess we'll just take our lumps and work our magic with our little word processing programs.

zenhussy

P.S. Slinky you are a devilish one and funny too. A kissy kiss kiss back at you (the good kind sweetie)

A good server admin would put those names in order
so when they were parsed each time to OK a posting
it would less of a load. Things in order,
in this case by alpha, parse quicker.

So much to optimize, so little time...

Took me 3 seconds to do this, maybe Mac's
can't sort by Alpha ???

Thanks, I've added a link to that. :-)

It's not just the sorting, it's the parsing algorithm, too...

Ah, yes that is a seperate issue.
Perl can be optimized take advantage of lists
put in order, too bad it is not native
as it is in humans !
