_ArraySort, only 1st digit sorted

[Phaser]

Hi Guys

This isn't stopping me from accomplishing what I wanted BUT its annoying me a little, I am building 1 array out of 6 arrays using _ArrayConcatenate() builds fine, but after that I want to sort it it is sorting but not fully

13,49,28,3,76,11,42,72

is becoming

11,13,28,3,42,49,72,76

I would prefer

3,11,13 etc

Why is it doing the above, like treating each digit individually

I know exactly what is wrong. I dont know how to fix it properly, but it is sorting it in numerical order like so.

Look at the first character in all of the values and sort accordingly.

Look at second character and sort accordingly.

So it gets something like 11,1,2,12

and turns it into 1,11,12,2 when it should be 1,2,11,12

The only way I see this being fixed would be like so;

13,49,28,03,76,11,42,72

Or something like that, as I dont personally know any other way to do it.

Yes you are correct, BUT, before I used _ArrayConcatenate() to build the array it was working fine, I was using _ArrayAdd prior to that but decided concatenate would be quicker/neater maybe?

It's because _ArraySort is a "String" sort so that is the correct order but what you want is a "numeric" sort. Try _ArraySortNum() by SmOke_N
