Variable Documentation

ALPHA_NUMERIC

const long ALPHA_NUMERIC = 0

Digits inside text are compared alphanumerically.

"K10" < "K2" < "K3", for example.

DOUBLE

const long DOUBLE = 1

Comparison of text uses natural sort with decimal numbers.

Example: "K2" < "K3" < "K10".
The number parts inside the text may be decimal numbers. Which character is considered a decimal separator, depends on the locale. Read ODF standard for details.
Example with dot as decimal separator: "K2.40" < "K2.5"

INTEGER

const long INTEGER = 2

Comparison of text uses natural sort with integer numbers.

Any decimal separator is treated as ordinary character. A fractional part is handled as separate number.
Example: "K2.5" < "K2.40", because 5 < 40.
