Hello experts,

I’m working on an "Sort After" (]]) bug that I traced back to some weird behavior in ObjectScript.  Perhaps someone can enlighten me…

The problem is as follows:

Let’s say we have:

Set A = “1.0”
Set B = “2.2”

If you execute the command ‘Sort After’ (]]), you get the following:

W A]]B
​1

…Which is wrong, A does NOT sort after B.  The output should be 0.

If you set A and B to numeric values, it correctly outputs false (0):

set A = 1.0
set B = 2.2
​W A]]B

0

I dug for a bit, and came up with this:   If you set  a numeric string to “<number>.0” an write the variable, it will be set as a

9
0 542
