[Gambas-user] Merge Gambas Forums / Gambas in Windows

[Juan Jose Costello Levien]

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your kind answer, and sorry for my ignorance about the topic.
I am not used to post much or write to lots of lists.

Oh, and just in case it would be useful for someone, I posted a small code
in one forum about a routine that sorts a TableView by any column you click,
in ascending or descending form, and contemplate if a column is numeric or
not, so it sorts the table as expected.

Do you think it would be good to post it here, or there is a special place
to do it?

(Sorry about this, I am fairly new to the Gambas world, as you can see... :)


Thanks.


Juan
