| Posted: | | | | As of now the program counts/sorts like this: 1 10 100 11 111 2 3 4 etc.
I would really like it to count/sort correctly. | | | "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful." |

I would really like it to count/sort correctly. It will, if you "spell" the number correctly: 001 002 003 004 010 011 100 111 --------------- |

It does sort correctly ... alphabetical For numerical sorting you have to go the way of the leading 0, as scotthm already mentioned. The Sort-Titles are local, so you can fuc... change them however you like. ![](/images/emoticons/devilish.gif) | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| Posted: | | | | The plugin Bulkedit has a padding feature for some fields. If you try it and the field you need is not supported, let me know and I will fix it. I plan to update Bulkedit sometime soon. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |

| Posted: | | | | The feature I talked about is already implemented for the Slot field. DVD Profiler does not honor the leading zeros in Collection Number. I tested it. I didn't get any responses, so I didn't make any changes to Bulkedit, but in the future if there are text fields other than Slot you want to use Bulkedit for, you can:
Using Multicopy Tool 1 (Column copy), with the overwrite option: (1) Copy the Slot field to Work1 (2) Copy the field to Slot (3) Right click - pad Slot with 0's (4) Copy Slot back to field (5) Copy Work1 back to Slot
Then File > Save Validated Changes | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. | | | Last edited: by mediadogg |

| Posted: | | | | Using BulkEdit MultiCopy Tool 4, Regex + Math: Regex Look for: ((^[0-9]+)(.*)) Check Math, Select CSharp and paste the following script (not including "Quote:" of course): Quote:
int paddedlen = 8; int numlen = "$2".Length; if (paddedlen > numlen) { return (new string('0',paddedlen-numlen))+"$1"; } else return "$1";
You can choose to output directly back into the original column (e.g. Sort Title), or to a Work column. Of course, you need to set the paddedlen variable to whatever you want. Click "All" and go for coffee while the program makes the changes. When done, validate the results visually by clicking the sort header in BulkEdit, and if it looks good, just File > Save Validated changes. Note that you can save and reload scripts if you want to reuse them in the future. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!!

I do the same thing, I just don't pad my numbers quite so high. Me too, but since I have less than 4,000 titles, I just out out to four spaces. But I also add a couple of other twists, since I have trouble remembering how a number is handled within a title. "Zero Dark Thirty" = 0000 Dark Thirty "One Day in September"= 0001 Day in September One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest= 0001 Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest "2 Brothers & a bride: A Foreign Affair" 0002 Brothers & a bride: A Foreign Affair A great strength of Profiler is that we all get to do our own crazy thing without bothering anyone else ... |
