Is there a way to sort so that

Abc
bcd
CDE

is ordered as above rather than MT's current sorting mechanism which would sort the above list like so:

Abc
CDE
bcd

That's not really MT's way of sorting, it just the way sort works.  Hmm.  I suppose you'll need to name your posts accordingly if possible to get them to line up the way you want.  Otherwise you could use php for this, natcasesort should sort them that way.

Here's a previous thread about this issue with a workaround that involves modifying a couple of lines of MT code. (The line numbers in Context.pm mentioned in that thread will be different in MT 2.51—556-557 now, I think.)

Oooh hey, that's cool.  I was hoping there was a way to do this.  You always have the best tips, stagger!  

Usually I use the creative naming method to get things to sort the way I want.  :)

Worked like a charm..thanks so much!
