I believe I've uncovered a bug in the way the TemplateView UI sorts custom attributes. We have a custom attribute of the "Integer" type, and when I click on the column to sort (either ascending or descending), it seems to look at the first digit only. That is, it would come up with a sort order as shown below: 9 80 50132 200 1 As you can see, it's seeing the number "9" as being larger than "80", since the first digit is larger. It's almost as if it's being treated as a string and not an Integer. To be fair, this attribute type USED to be "string". I only changed it to "Integer" after I found this behavior in the UI. Could you shed some light on how I could fix this? Thanks! Jason

Hi Jason, Interesting. To be honest this is surfacing only now. But it's completely logical as all attribute values are stored as strings internally. So it would require quite some redesign to solve that. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
