Article Title: Bad Sort When Sorting Waitlisted Students By Priority

This article applies to the following products:

Training Wizard 97 (all versions)
Training Wizard 98 (all versions)

Summary:

If there are more than 9 students on the wait list for a class, sorting those students by the priority column will order the students incorrectly.

Details:

The priority column for students on the wait list contains a numeric value that starts at one and increments by one for each additional student on the wait list. For example, if there are 11 students on the wait list, then the values in the priority column will range from 1 to 11.

If the students in the wait list grid are sorted by the priority column, then the sort was done in an alphabetic manner. For example, with the same 11 students, the order based on the value in the priority column would be: 1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

This issue has been corrected in Training Wizard 2001 (3.0.23). Sorting by the priority column will now sort numerically: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

Note that if you check the "Edit Records" checkbox for the wait list grid, then resort the students in this grid using the priority column, the sort will still be an alphabetic sort. The numeric sort is only used when the "Edit Records" checkbox is not checked.
