Small patch for sorting...

[Danny Rego]

Hey guys, I've modified a function in "Slim/Web/Setup.pm" so that it can sort numerically when filling SELECT boxes, and such. I hope it can be added to slim server to get rid of the messy drop-down boxes in the web interfaces when all of the options are numbers.

The function is attached in the text file. (Sorry...but I didn't have time to install CVS...grab the tree, and get the diff...this change is simple enough anyways)

The description at the top of the module should have this line...

# 'optionSort' => controls sort order of the options, one of K (key), KN (key numerically), KR (key reversed), KNR (key numerically reversed), V (value), VN (value numerically), VR (value reversed), VNR (value numerically reversed) - (default K)

Any particular preferences that this would be used for?

Any numerical ones. When I release the next version of my plugin there are
some drop down boxes for times, and without this patch they show up like
this....

1 second
10 seconds
15 seconds
2 seconds
30 seconds
5 seconds
60 seconds

....it was really bugging me, so I thought this would help.

Sorry...haahaa...I guess you meant any current prefs...I will have a look
and let you know if I spot any in Slim Server.

Exactly what I meant. I applied it to titleFormat, playingDisplayMode,
the brightnesses (in case a maxBrightness above 9 comes along),
maxBitrate, and lameQuality (although since this ranges from 0-9 it
probably doesn't need it).

I didn't see anywhere else that needed it, but I could be wrong.

Just make sure that you don't apply it to the side that has that .
string('SECONDS') in it or you'll just throw warnings.
