Item9374: EditTablePlugin wrongly assumes that 4 digit numbers is a year
Priority: Normal
Current State: Closed
Released In: 1.1.0
Target Release: minor

In an attempt to be able to sort a mix of dates incl a date which is just a year, the result is that numbers are sorted wrong
It took me two hours at work to find out why a search that returns the number of a change request (which is 4 digits) would not sort.
I think the number of cases where people have to sort a mix of dates and integer 4 digit numbers is so rare compared by the case of sorting plain 4 digit numbers.
And even when we sort as number - and the 4 digts are pure years with no mix - numeric sort works as well.
I am fixing this back so numbers sort again.
This is trunk only and never released so I can close the bug.
The reason I saw it at work is that I have been testing the trunk version of the plugin for a while at work because it had some other sort related fixes that were important.
