sorting units of text

[me_7834539]

hello, thanks a lot. I will be installing it on a test machine on sunday. I don't like overwriting (resp. later reinstalling) the vanilla version, due to the compatiblity warnings. (I can't understand why this replaces AHK. they should make a separate installtion and define a separate extension, like ".ahkl" or so. But I may be missing s.th.)

hello,

i did tests with

(a) the vanilla install
(b) the l version, unicode
(c) the l version, ansi

and two snippets of text which are different only due to line breaks before and after the text;
text start immediately after/before the "<<<"/">>>" delimiters.

results, reproducible:

(a)(1) wrong sorting
(b)(1) wrong sorting
(c)(1) wrong sorting
(a)(2) wrong sorting
(b)(2) correct sorting
(c)(2) correct sorting

wrong sorting = first line wrongly stays on top, following lines are sorted correctly

editor used = notepad.

personally, I am fine with the script as it is, despite the minor inconvenience. perhaps it would be more efficient
to ask for help in the ahk forums, at this point, really, if you are curious what the problem is...  

For the record, i am using a (German) Sony Vaio X.

(re)installing ahk l version / vanilla version seemed, and was in fact, very easy and unproblematic, so i didnt wait for the test machine.

ps. i might not find time to reply/do more tests these days. thx for understanding.

Right on.  That does confirm my hunch that the AHK_L Unicode version would work properly.  Thanks very much for testing.  =]

personally, I am fine with the script as it is

If you're happy, I'm happy.

the L ansi version works properly, too. and both unicode and ansi version do not work properly in described case...
I'd like to ask an important question: Do you think it's likely that your script will (on autohotkey vanilla) produce even more problems, other than the first-line-sorting bug? Would you find it interesing if i re-posted my tests in the ahk forum? I would do so, if you think it's a good idea.

The script is super simple so I don't foresee any future issues.  It doesn't matter to me, but you're welcome to post it on the AHK forums.
