Fld order

Hi,

I want to sort fields in the order of appearance.
I am trying with:

return (*a->pFmtFld->GetTxtFld()->GetPosition())
         <
        (*b->pFmtFld->GetTxtFld()->GetPosition());

This works fine with text, tables etc, but not with e.g.
frames which are on 
top of the document, they are always first. Using 
pFmtFld->GetTxtFld()->GetTxtNode().GetIndex(), I am
having of course the 
same issues.

What are the correct numbers I have to compare?

Best Regards
Max

you could do a check if the text node is located inside a
frame. In this 
case you could additionally check the "position"
of the anchor. How does 
the current code (I guess in content.cxx) sort the notes?

Is it then not again the same issue as before? (as in we
can't be sure that 
the position is actually correct)

It did not sort the notes at all, so they had a random order
in the 
navigator as well

I just tried this and it works, but I would also have to
check e.g if it is 
inside a header or footer and then go again for the
position, so we would 
have a lot of different cases.

How about we leave it the way it is, so comparing the
position, knowing it 
might be wrong in rare cases. As the sorting takes place
every time we 
calculate the positions, I think we could live with it.

yes, that's what I meant to say.

So we obviously did not sort the notes in the navigator
until now, 
therefore I also don't think that this is a critical point.

Well, this is not only an often requirement from users, but
we also need it 
sorted for the layout algrorithm so we know the next and
previous note's 
position.

ok, I didn't take into consideration that the sorting is
also required 
for the layout algorithm. Anyway, for now I think we can
keep your 
current implementation.
