Alphabetization

Amazing discovery! Scratch seems to have a built in alphabetizer! For example, "scratch" is more than "cat", and "whiz" is more than "the". Also, "them" is more then "the".

I've made a project using it: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/The-Whiz/900507

Re: Alphabetization

I inserted the entire alphabet, but incorrectly, and it ordered it!

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Alphabetization

I played around a bit and discovered how it orders things:

Space key
Symbols
Numbers
Alphabet order

The higher values are at the top and the lower ones at the bottom.

This is super cool!  big_smile
