Sort Order Wrong (Bandwidth / Disk Usage)

[srelliott]

Anybody else notice that the sort order is working like a sort and not the way we want it? For both bandwidth and disk usage it's sorting like a computer, not from lowest to highest.

Name / Disk Usage or Bandwidth

user 1 / 1.02
user 2 / 14.21
user 3 / 2.63
user 4 / 22.11
user 5 / 3.21

etc.

That sort should look like this imo:

user 1 / 1.02
user 3 / 2.63
user 5 / 3.21
user 2 / 14.21
user 4 / 22.11

If I click on the header that I want it to sort by it seems to do it correctly for me... Maybe I'm not understanding your post.

Ok,

Um, how do I explain this. It's sorting text, not the number values. Computers sort alphanumerically, not by value. That's the problem I'm running into.

Take a look at this example short list sorted by name (default):

Username / Bandwidth

user1 / 2.58
user2 / 126.2
user3 / 46.9
user4 / 346.3
user5 / 1.24



And now the same list sorted by Bandwidth as DA does:

Username / Bandwidth

user5 / 1.24
user2 / 126.2
user1 / 2.58
user4 / 346.3
user3 / 46.9


And now how I expect it to be sorted by actual usage ( low to high ):

Username / Bandwidth

user5 / 1.24
user1 / 2.58
user3 / 46.9
user2 / 126.2
user4 / 346.3

Does that make any more sense?

It does make more sense, but when I sort by bandwidth, Usage, etc It shows correctly, just like the last correct example you have.

I've taken a few excerpts.
Picture #1 is sorting by bandwidth (low to high/one click)

Picture #2 is sorting by disk usage (low to high/one click)

It looks fine to me, maybe I'm missing it?

Perhaps the sample you're looking at isn't large enough.

I'm including actual screen shots for you to take a look at as well.
