Code | Meaning |
---|---|
0 | Characters are compared directly |
1 | The case of characters is ignored |
2 | Embedded numbers are taken into account (see below) |
3 | A combination of types 1 and 2 |
An embedded number is a set of numerical digits possibly containing a decimal point. In the case of types 2 and 3, embedded numbers are sorted by their value not character by character. This means that "Lim4_asm" would come before "Lim10_asm".
