Is there an existing issue for this?
Description
Sorting in drop down menus fails to sort item links in lexicographical order. This can cause frustration because there's nothing the aura developer can do to fix this, since it's baked into the custom options code.
Why this occurs:
"\124cffffffff\124Hitem:18641::::::::60:::::\124h[Dense Dynamite]\124h\124r"
The above is a standard item link for [Dense Dynamite]. Sorting this raw string yields interference from color escape codes, followed by item ids.
Easy solution
I'm fairly sure the bug takes place in the fixMetaOrders of the CommonOptions.lua.
table.sort(groupOrders[index]) is called on the raw options.
Instead, the following can be performed.
Map the existing elements to a new list with the following mapper function:
local function mapper(str)
local p = "^.*Hitem:%d+:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:%d*:.*%[([^%]]+)%].*$"
local m = str:match(p)
return m or str
endNote: You can write that regex in a thousand different ways. I just wrote a simple example. Hitem followed by 13 mandatory : etc. Chances are 99% likely it's an item link.
Once you map the fields, use table.sort's optional parameter to use this table for comparisons.
