I am trying to alphabetically sort a list of unique strings, some of which have a leading space character. I need these to sort as if the second character is the first character rather than all space prefixed strings being bunched together.
I just had a hilarious conversation with ChatGPT on this challenge We ended up having a disagreement about whether a keyword “ignoring” exists in Livecode. Please tell me it doesn’t. (although even if it does, I don’t think it helps me with my task) Anyway, I did learn something, but not whether there is an elegant way to do this. I can see how I could extract strings starting with a space, replace the first character with the second character, combine the lists, sort, then replace the doctored strings with the space prefixed originals. However, I couldn’t help but wonder if there is a better solution. Anyone?
