Title:
Sorting addresses w/PO Boxes treated numerically
Hi all,
I'm looking for advice, before i reinvent the wheel, about creating an index on an address field for a temporary table, so that PO boxes will sort by their numeric value, for instance:
1234 Terrice Drive
P. O. BOX 1
P. O. BOX 3
P. O. BOX 3 PPP
P. O. BOX 3 Quartermaster Road
P. O. BOX 4
P. O. BOX 10
etc.
The PO Box addresses are guaranted to start with "P. O. BOX"
I can sort properly all numeric only PO Box addressess, with:
INDEX on IIF( mas_address1 = "P. O. BOX", "P. O. Box " + padl(INT(VAL(SUBSTR(mas_address1, 10))),10), mas_address1) TO testnew
But the addresses with text after the number give me trouble.
Anyone already doing this?
TIA! J
