Please help me make sense of Notion's sorting system....
I am trying extremely hard to be nice with my words here, but what were the engineers on when they designed this sorting system?
I initially tried using alphanumeric strings for my sort codes, but notion would treat a sequence of numbers as a single number within the string, making the sorting not work. I then changed it to be A-Z characters only for the first 5 digits, as I need the final digits to be numbers due to formulas that rely on them.
But I can't find any semblance of reasoning for how Notion has arrived at this sort order.
Sorry for the rant... but I would also appreciate it if someone could help me and shed some light on how this works as I have been going insane trying to figure it out over the last few hours.
TIA
