An easy way is to extract the full dataset, perhaps with the "dgData". This
will give you a tab and return delimited list. Then you might sort by a
function:
sort yourData numeric by goodNumber(item columnOfInterest of each)
where:
function goodNumber var
repeat for each char tChar in var
if var is in "0123456789" then put tChar after temp
end repeat
return temp
end goodNumber

Subject: Sorting Columns
I have a data grid and one of the columns
has numbers with commas included. If I
use the property inspector and select the
header column I can choose sort by text
or numeric. Due to the commas neither
of the sort types gives me a correct sort.
Do I need to make another array and strip
the commas and then use that sort with
columns from the original array? What is
the best way to sort numeric columns with
commas included in the numbers?
