having a hell of a time with function
if i only sort by day it works,but when i add month and year it screws everything up
this is what i have
Code:
function dateSort(dateTable)
local i = 1
local changed = false
table.foreach(
dateTable,
function(k, v)
local day = string.sub(dateTable[k], 0, 2)
local month = string.sub(dateTable[k], 3, 4)
local year = string.sub(dateTable[k], 5, 6)
--print("Date " .. dateTable[k])
if (i < table.getn(dateTable)) then
local nextDay = string.sub(dateTable[k + 1], 0, 2)
local nextMonth = string.sub(dateTable[k + 1], 3, 4)
local nextYear = string.sub(dateTable[k + 1], 5, 6)
--print("day " .. nextDay .. "month " .. nextMonth .. "year " .. nextYear)
--if (tonumber(day) < tonumber(nextDay)) and (tonumber(month) <= tonumber(nextMonth)) --[[ and (tonumber(year) <= tonumber(nextYear))]] then
--if (tonumber(day) < tonumber(nextDay)) and (tonumber(month) <= tonumber(nextMonth) or tonumber(month) < tonumber(nextMonth)) and (tonumber(year) <= tonumber(nextYear) or tonumber(year) < tonumber(nextYear)) then
--if (tonumber(day) < tonumber(nextDay)) and (tonumber(month) <= tonumber(nextMonth)) then
if (day < nextDay) and (month <= nextMonth) and (year <= nextYear) then
changed = true
local temp = dateTable[k]
dateTable[k] = dateTable[i+1]
dateTable[i+1] = temp
end
end
i = i + 1
end
)
if (changed) then
dateSort(dateTable)
end
end
