itoa follows the format used by hexadecimal notation. That is the typical numerical notation. In either case he won't be able to maintain numerical sequence as you would expect since the sequence would be a, b, ..., z, aa, ab, ..., az, ..., za, zb, ..., zz, aaa, aab, ..., aaz, ..., but the sorted sequence would be a, aa, aaa, ..., unless you made leading blanks significant, and then you would always have an issue with how the keys were typed for searching.

I have done this using the C library function itoa() pass in an integer value and a base (base 36 will give 0-9 and A-Z). You can search google for usage documentation.

Does this function do 0-9 followed by A-Z or A-Z followed by 0-9?

I suspect that it is likely to be the former, but Gad needs the latter
to maintain the current ordering.
