Hi! Great code but it doesn't seem to work to sort numeric values - they get sorted as strings...

Is there a fix for it?

Thanks!!!

I love it. It went crashin' nasty to start with - but I realised passing in a dc from an external db was a problem. Added a new dbCollSource parameter to refer to when getting docs and creating my sorted collection and all was well. Still, a great piece of work - many thanks for sharing it.

Thank you Per Henrik Lausten!

I'm using this in the Notes Reconn project at OpenNTF.

I'm a little late to the party But this script really helped me, thank you so much for adjusting the excellent original with the Shell sort. The only problem I had was with some dates (as a sorted column), that I had to change the code just a little, but other than that, works great. THANK YOU

I'm getting stuck on this part. It says I can't find Universal ID. But I am trying to sort a Date-Time field

Set collSorted = db.GetProfileDocCollection("Foo") ' create an empty NotesDocumentCollection
Forall y In arrSort
Set doc = db.GetDocumentByUNID(Right(y, 32))
Call collSorted.AddDocument(doc)
End Forall

Per, There is an array limit on arrays. which causes the sorting to halt.

Array bounds must fall in the range -32768 to 32767, inclusive.

Have you seen any update to this

Hello people,
I was quite stuck with sorting for days .. Thanks for all those who had been in creation and in reincarnation of the code .. Happy New Year to All .. Code works great ..

Hi Greg, excellent extension to the function. Thanks for your comment.

Excellent post. I extended your code a little because I needed to sort documents in a different database. I simply pass the SortNDC function a database as well and add code so that if the passed db is nothing, the function should use the current database.

Thanks.

Hi. Your post was VERY timely for me and a project I was working on. I extended your code a little because I needed to sort in descending as well as ascending order. I just blogged it here: http://dmcnally.blogspot.com/2007/01/sntt-sorting-notesdocumentcollection.html

Hi, I have just tested the sorting routine with 12.000 documents and it sorts the documents as expected.

While doing the test I found that there is one loop that goes through all the documents which is not necessary for the sort to work. I will update this post with the new code.

Perhaps this helps in your case. So please try the sort again when I have updated the code. Also make sure that it is the script that causes the problem and not something else such as network delays, server processing power etc.

If the document collection is around 10,000 the script is timing out. Any alternative method which can sort collection > 10000
