Sorting a list of variable length integers delimited by decimal points...
- by brewerdc
Hey guys,
I'm in need of some help.
I have a list of delimited integer values that I need to sort. An example:
Typical (alpha?) sort:
1.1.32.22
11.2.4
2.1.3.4
2.11.23.1.2
2.3.7
3.12.3.5
Correct (numerical) sort:
1.1.32.22
2.1.3.4
2.3.7
2.11.23.1.2
3.12.3.5
11.2.4
I'm having trouble figuring out how to setup the algorithm to do such a sort with n number of decimal delimiters and m number of integer fields.
Any ideas? This has to have been done before. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks a bunch!
-Daniel
