Is there a way to get GD to sort by integer for an attribute field? (The column is an int in the physical DB model).

Hi Patrick, I’m afraid that numerical sorting of attributes is not possible on GD CN. Currently, your best chance how to make this work would be with UI SDK. However, I will gladly submit a product feedback on your behalf so our product team can consider this for future developments. Can you please confirm how important would similar feature be for you?

This is very important to us. We have many cases where the attribute is numeric and we end up having to do some hacky string things to support sorting properly.

@Patrick Sexton I will double-check internally again if there are any other options how to go about this.

I think there was a bug that numeric fields were ordered alphabetically which should be fixed by introduction of Quiver based implementation in GD Cloud. @Jiří Šitina do you know in which GD CN release is this available?

yes, it already works fine in GD Cloud, .CN should have it from version 3.0.0 on (with the new Quiver caching)

To summarize, you are saying that testing an upgrade to version 3.0.0 should support sorting attributes numerically and not just A->Z?

that’s correct
