Re: Searching/sorting dates
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 13993
interpreted = N
texte = >Does or does not WebCat work with international dates? The doc states that >international dates can be used and sorting, comparision and summaries >works with dates formatted as set in the general prefs, but my experiences >today says different :-(I think the numbers need to be separate by /, not -. But before you change your database, I have another suggestion. It looks like you have stored your dates in a way that can be sorted using standard alphabetical sorting, so first try removing the type=date parameter from your search context. Then WebCatalog will sort them as strings of text, and I think they will sort correctly.If you use this technique, it is *very* important that you have 0 preceding single-digit days and months: 1997-02-02, *not* 1997-2-1Grant Hulbert, V.P.
