Hi All, does anyone know any cleaver tricks to sort a list of outline numbers.
An outline number is a number of the form... 1.2.3 they should be sorted in the following way... 1 1.1 1.2 1.12 python's alpha sort (by design) sorts them... 1 1.1 1.12 1.2 That's no good for me. I'm planning on splitting the strings into multiple lists of ints and doing numerical sorts. Thanks for any clever ideas that might make it easier.
