[Android] number sorting

[EdShdBeInBed]

I have a word count column I've set cc to be able to sort one. Sorts like a.dream.

But I also sync comics as CBZ to my android.

Is there a way to sort on actual file size?

You can make a calibre custom column "made from other columns" and use a template to put the size of the CBZ file into the column. Once you do that you can add that column to CC's sort.

One possible template is

{:'select(formats_sizes(), 'CBZ')'}

Okay... in caliber, that sorts proper. In CC, 123 sorts before 13-- it ignores number of digits. Any thoughts?

Lots of thoughts. Buy low, sell high. Don't live in a tornado zone. Travel widely. Avoid too much salt. Why does air exist? What is an entangled photon? ...

You are probably asking for a solution to the CC sorting "anomaly". You can deal with that by adding leading zeros so that the text-representation of the number sorts correctly. One such template is

{:010d:'select(formats_sizes(), 'CBZ')'}

I will look at changing CC to note that the calibre composite column specification specifies that the column is to be sorted numerically.
