how to sort by size habit

sources of topics and their own ideas

what I do now is customize a function get_num_from_char to extract consecutive numbers
and then order by get_num_from_char (name)
do my predecessors have any better solutions

originally intended to use a separate field such as sort to manage this sort
, but the user imported the list from a library and did not want to deal with it manually

as you said, write a Filter function get_num_from_char (name) to return a sequence number, and then save it to a field
for example, a very simple idea is to replace one, two, three with 123 , and then leave the number 0-9 .

XXX episode 1 to 1
XXXX-002 episode-HD to 002
season 1 episode 003 , to 1003
season 2 episode 004 , to 2004
season 3 episode 005 .1080P < / code

Save the results to a rank field, and then use this field for order by sorting
as long as you keep the same series of names in a similar format

complain, sort is a verb, database field, please use noun
in addition, you have seen that direct string sorting. It can only be said that imagination is beautiful.
actually becomes 1, 10, 11. 2, 20, 21. 3, 30, 31. this


order by get_num_from_char (name) is not recommended because it will degenerate the index on name into a full index scan.
it is actually better to use a single field to deal with it.


originally thought that the default sorting could also be used, but ignored some cases, thanks to @ month Lord LM's reminder

it is better to add a new field. When inserting data, the value of this field is automatically set to the number of sets (automatically processed by the program), which is transparent to the user. It is very convenient to add fields either automatically sort or manually adjust the order later


it is recommended to add fields. While inserting data, the code processes the number of sets and inserts them into the corresponding fields
