When a column contains a combination of or a range of a variable, it inaccurately sorts by the actual and full value of the first variable encountered and not by the textual result.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new column in custom columns view containing just [face=courier][=tc.name:8-][/face]
2. Sort by that column
Other examples (not all useful) of field contents that sort wrongly:
[face=courier]a[=tc.fullname:9-][/face] (sorts by Name)
[face=courier][=tc.size.bkM:-3-][/face] (sorts by Size)
[face=courier]b[=tc.fullname:9-][=tc.size.bkM:-3-][/face] (sorts by Name)
[face=courier]b[=tc.size.bkM:-3-][=tc.fullname:9-][/face] (sorts by Size)

Zom-B,
Yes, that is a known and unfortunate limitation. I support sorting according to the shown value.

Unfortunately sorting by the displayed text instead of the actual value would lead to incorrect results in many cases, e.g.
- Date fields like [=tc.writedate.D.M.Y h
s] would sort by day, then by month, then by year, instead of sorting by year first.
- Size fields like [=tc.size.bkM2] would sort incorrectly, because the unit at the end would not be taken into account.
- Date fields like [=tc.writedate.D.M.Y h
s] would sort by day, then by month, then by year, instead of sorting by year first.- Size fields like [=tc.size.bkM2] would sort incorrectly, because the unit at the end would not be taken into account.

Alternatively, make it so it ONLY sorts by shown value when letter ranges are used.ghisler(Author) wrote:Unfortunately sorting by the displayed text instead of the actual value would lead to incorrect results in many cases, e.g.

[face=courier][=tc.writedate.D.M.Y h
s][/face] sorts by actual value[face=courier][=tc.writedate.D.M.Y h
s:7-10][/face] sorts by displayed valueIf no letter range is wished, but still sort by displayed value, use a dummy range:
[face=courier][=tc.writedate.D.M.Y h
s:1-][/face]
