Item9266: TableSortDecimalPoint

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Low	No Action Required	Extension	TablePlugin

In our installation (old TWiki updated to Foswiki 1.0.6 and 1.0.9), sorting does nor recognize any decimal points, but sorts only the integer part. Thus, in the example

name	value	value2
abc	1.3	1,3
cde	12	12
efg	2.5	2,5
fgh	0	0
fhi	9	9
hij	2	2

the sort order is always 0, 1.3, 2.5, 2, 9, 12, no matter whether the column using decimal points or decimal commas is sorted. Of course, we would like "2" to appear before "2.5".

The problem does not appear on http://foswiki.org/Sandbox/TestTableSort; here, sorting the second column (with decimal points) produces the desired output. Thus, this appears as a configuration problem.

Any help is appreciated.

This does not happen anymore in current release of the plugin.
