comet and asteroid sort sequence

B. Hudgens May 9, 2003

Bill Gray,

The ability to sort on different columns when accessing the tables of asteroids or comets and Messier objects is nice. However, not all of the columns seem to sort correctly. Please check these columns. RA, DEC, and Elong. These columns sort correctly with the Messier objects, but not the asteroid and comet tables.

The rest of the 'active' columns appear to sort correctly, either ascending or descending.
It would also be nice to be able to sort the asteroids table on the Constellation like you can with the Messier listing. Being able to sort by Const. would be most helpful.

While on the subject of sorting columns, One more request....
Go to... Glob Clus. list many gc. It would be nice to include the Const. column in that listing and also be able to sort on it like you can with the Messier list.


thanks,
