Re: Sorting an array w/multiple fields

Isn't the field sorted correctly, with the negative numbers first, in
ascending order?

I am unclear about the sorta statement.  I sort an array that is in a data
structure, and it seemed to me to work unfailingly.

The code is here:

 As you can see from the image, the sorta works, both ascending and
descending.

(This is my clickable subfile, where the columns are sorted based on the
heading being mouse-clicked.)

That's interesting.  It looks like it's sorting it as an unsigned binary
integer.  Can we see a snippet that shows how you sorted this?  I'm just
curious. AFIAK, you can't use SORTA to sort an array of data structures,
but you did, somehow... I'm just curious how you made this work...
