Pierre, I'm not sure how to report this as you can see in the subject line but this is the situation:

I dragged a link to create an item

item = <a href=http://www.junkluggers.com/index.html>Junkluggers Junk Removal Co.</a>

I changed the text

text = Junkluggers Junk Removal Co

In ascending / descending sort this item is out of sort order because IQ is sorting on the underlying data i.e. the link reference which starts w 'a' while the text starts w 'j'

However in column sort, i.e. sort on Item, IQ obviously will sort correctly

I find this odd & don't understand the purpose of IQ sorting on the underlying data as in the case of a link.

Maybe with the new link UI, this will change? What do you & / or others think of this situation?

Thanks.

Hi Jan,

This is a known issue which will eventually be resolved

The core IQ sorting is done by the database engine which can only sort on the actual text (including the embedded html codes: formats, links, etc)

Should I enter this into Mantis?

Sorry I missed that & reported a known issue.

Pierre,

Re: the related problem in that issue:-

copying items which are also links, copies the html code as well, e.g.

xyz.doc now copies as <a href=[FileFullName]>xyz.doc</a>

you say in response

> I'll add the option to paste the text

Did you mean you would be able to fix that?

If you can, it would be very much appreciated

[ I'm sure there's a workaround but I'm not very good using text editors and havent figured out a way of stripping all the text between < & > when the text in the middle varies (i.e. if I've a list of say, 20 files in html link format) ]
