Tool list sort by numbers: NX7.5

Tool list sort by numbers: NX7.5

Tool list sort by numbers: NX7.5

(OP)
Just noticed an odd behavior in NX 7.5.3.3 manufacturing. When in the "Machine Tool" navigator if you have the "Tool Number" column active and you click on the column header to order the list of tools by number the sort will go like this:

1
10
11
12
13
14
2
20
21
3
etc...

It is sorting by first digit only! I thought that was very amusing behavior. Have I missed a check box somewhere? Anyone else notice this?

RE: Tool list sort by numbers: NX7.5

And you did that by simply clicking on the "Number" header at the top of the column right?

Perhaps I was just over tired but I clicked on the top of that column several times just to be sure of what I was seeing and it did the same thing each time, just flipping the order. It was as if the sort function was seeing the tool numbers as strings instead of integers. It made perfect logical sense, it just wasn't what I was expecting. It is also not something I ever noticed before, which is why I was wondering if I had accidentally clicked something I shouldn't have.

I'll look again when I get in to work later. Thanks for the reply.
