Interesting Roman Numeral sorting issue

[Exmortis]

I just put in a bug report about this.

I have attached a screenie, seems RW does not sort Roman Numerals properly.

I have been using them extensively, but this is the first time I have made it to IX (9).

Unless its me? Wouldn't be the first time.

Your Roman numerals are text, not numbers, so Realm Works is sorting them appropriately.

If you were using single letters as the prefixes and suddenly it went:

I
V
X
L
C
D
M
A
B
E
F
...
Z


It'd be pretty confusing. :(

Well DUH!

See it was me after all

In order to ensure that Rob's list does not get shorter we could always request a "sort Roman numericals" option

Or you just switch to 01 ... 99 for example.
Since it's the first time you'd hit the limit no retro-fitting is necessary?

@vargr: +1

I believe a while ago we switched to "natural sorting" for prefix numbers, which should correctly sort 1 before 10, 11, and so on, without needing to left pad with 0's.
