Detail

According to the TablePlugin docs, data is only treated as numeric for sorting if it consists of digits plus an optional decimal point.

In particular, negative numbers are not sorted correctly:

%TABLE{sort="on" initsort="1"}%
| *number* |
| -1 |
| -10.1 |
| -9.99 |
| -2 |
| -2.0 |
| -20 |

produces:

numberSorted ascending
-20
-10.1
-9.99
-2
-2.0
-1

Is this behaviour intended?

Changing lib/TWiki/Plugins/TablePlugin/Core.pm line 536 to this seems to fix it:

    elsif ( $text =~ /^\s*((-?[0-9]+)(\.([0-9]))?).*$/ ) {

Thank you Bryan for reporting the issue and for providing a patch. This is now in trunk and 4.3 branch, as well as new release at TWiki:Plugins/TablePlugin.
