IO09265: COLUMNS ARE SORTED IN ASCII ORDER EVEN IF FIELDS ARE DECIMAL VALUES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The reason for the sorting error is because the decimal values
  are converted to strings for presentation in the desktop view.
  When the column is clicked to be sorted, the resulting ordering
  is correctly sorted in ASCII order.
  However, this issue will still remain for alphanumberic strings
  which will be sorted in ASCIIbetical order instead of the more
  user friendly natural order.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When users listed decimal values in the Desktop view, and then
  clicked on a column to sort the view, the numbers were not
  sorted correctly. For example, the value 100.00 occurred before
  the value 90.00. The Desktop now sorts decimal values in correct
  numerical order.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is available in DB2 Document Manager v8.3 Fix Pack 10.
