I still don't understand the difference between mine and ownedbycats'. I've even changed the template to use switchif(). Same result for either composite column type.
The word count column the template is taking values from is an Integer type with the format {:,d}
Spoiler:
Code:
program:
switch_if(
$$#ao3_words <=# '5000', '0 - 5000',
$$#ao3_words <=# '10000', '5001 - 10000',
$$#ao3_words <=# '20000', '10001 - 20000',
$$#ao3_words <=# '40000', '20001 - 40000',
$$#ao3_words <=# '80000', '40001 - 80000',
'80000+'
)
