IBM Debug: Improved sort for Monitor Expression handling of array entries

Hi IBM,

Please improve the sort order in the Debugger Remote GUI in IDz within the Monitors view.

Currently the sort button sorts all expressions on the displayed string. This leads table/array entries to be sorted not by the numeric but by the string value of their index.

Wrong order:
1,10,100,101,..,11,...110,,2,3,..9

Expected order:
1,2,3,...9,10,11,..,20,...,10

Please see the attachment screenshot.

Regards
Michael

    "Was it to find a child item?" --> this is the most important thing indeed

    If you sort it alphabetically (as it is currently), you sort like 1,2,3,..9,10,100,101,102,...11,110,111 which is false.
    It needs to be sorted numerical (1,2,3,..9,10,11,12,99,100,101,...).

    Please imagine having an array with possible 200 entries but only 15 entries filled. With the current alphabetically sort order you need to check and scroll much more array entries as you don't really see the end (because e.g. 101-149 come before 15) - that's pretty annoying and leads to much more time needed to find issues.

    Xpediter does that correctly.
