Re: [CSCMail-Users] Billenium Bug

[Maher A. <mu...@mu...>]

Hi Steve,

	I fixed this for Pronto on Sept. 9th when it all happened. Here is what
you need to do:

$message_clist->set_compare_func(\&my_sort_func);

sub my_sort_func
{
	my ($clist, $first, $second) = @_;
	if ($first =~ /^\d+$/) {
		if ($first > $second) { return -1; }
		if ($first == $second) { return 0; }
		return 2;
	}
	my @stuff = ($first,$second);
	my @sorted = sort {uc($a) cmp uc($b)} @stuff;
	if ($sorted[0] eq $first) { return -1; }
	if ($first eq $second) { return 0; }
	return 2;
}

This function sorts numerric and alphas the right way, as the gtk built in
function always does alpha sort.
