Possible to sort attribute chronologically? , posted by Dennis Seitz on Tue Jan 29 04:25:11 2008

Hi,
We've defined a "LastEdit" attribute for some of our logs so that we can indicate that an entry has been revised, and when that was done.
From our config:
Attributes = Last Edit, etc etc
.
.
.
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
This works fine, but when we sort the LastEdit column, the dates are sorted alphabetically. Is there a way to tell Elog to treat this particular attribute
as a date when sorting? |

You are missing:
Type Last Edit = datetime
which will tread the "Last Edit" attribute as a date/time combination. Actually it's stored
internally in seconds since Jan 1st 1970, so sorting will work right. The only caveat is that
when you edit an entry, the "Last Edit" is displayed really in seconds since 1970, but I will
fix this in the next release. |

I just fixed this in SVN revision #2010. If you would have filled out which operating system you use
with elog, I could tell you how to upgrade. |

Thanks for the help and the bug fix. I have a colleague who keeps our installation up to date, so I'll ask him to install it. |

I investigated this and found that elogd itself does not use the locale properly, so I have to change the code. I will let you know when I fixed this problem. |

You do not have to change the environment variable, this is all handled inside elogd. I fixed teh above error in SVN revision 2098. Can you try it? |
