would you mind telling which version you are using? Cookie 1 or 2.x, Flatfile 1.x, or mySQL .x

hi drew,

the current version i am using is ftp://ftp.camelsoup.com/pub/PortalLinks_1.0/portal_2.01.txt. hope this helps.

That version already sorts by title....

Did you mean something else or does the output not appear to be alphabetical? Can you post the url to your installation?

BTW, it's been serveral months since I've done any work on PortalLinks and I see a lot of things that can be improved. Also, did you find and replace "debug.cgi" with "portal.cgi" in the source code? Anyway, next time I find some time I'm going to do some cleaning up on the code.

We worked this out in private... and realized that sorting is case sensitive. Change the above line of code to:

if anybody is interested...

drew solved the problem by replaceing

my @sorted = sort { ${$a}[1] cmp ${$b}[1] } @links;

with

my @sorted = sort { lc ${$a}[1] cmp lc ${$b}[1] } @links;

in the sub display() in portal.cgi
