This is a problem I've commonly come across, and I was
wondering if any of you Tcl wizards had the solution for.
I am setting up a list of ingredients to be displayed.
set list_of_ingredients [list]
db_foreach example "select id, name, percentage from recipe" {
lappend list_of_ingredients $id
set ingredient_name($id) $name
set ingredient_percentage($id) $percentage
}
[other stuff]
foreach one_ingredient_id $list_of_ingredients {
append page_body " <li>
$ingredient_name($one_ingredient_id):
$ingredient_percentage($one_ingredient_id)%"
}
How would I sort the list of ingredients by percentage? Granted, I
could sort the database call (by adding ORDER BY percentage),
but I actually do some manipulation of the percentages later on,
so this doesn't work for me.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Or is there something I'm
missing out on here?
