XSSFilter could not parse (X)HTML:



<p>Ive been using the <span style="font-size: x-small;">SortAuctionSetSort("list","name",not-reversed) function to have the AH data already sorted when I read it. It works fine for most objects, but recently I've noticed that objects such as <span lang="EN">Absorption Dagger of the Elder and Absorption Dagger of the Owl are not being sorted correctly, with the Owl version being placed before the Elder.</span></span></p>


<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN">To get around this i've been reading the AH into a table and then sorting the table, but I wondered if there was a way to ensure the data was correctly sorted at the time of reading from the AH, as I expected SortAuctionSetSort to do ?</span></span></p>


<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">
<p><span lang="EN">Thanks for your time :)</span></p>

There's no reason I know why that method would not be working for this. I'll try to check with someone else to see if they have any ideas.

I asked someone from the Auctioneer team, and they informed me that there is always a bit of "Wackiness" in the AH after a patch. They suggest to wait it out for a few more days and see if the issues resolve themselves. Please let me know.

Thanks - i'll check it again in a 7 days and see it if works again. I'll post a reply here.

Still not working as of tuesday 21/4/09 - hopefully tomorrows 3.1.1 patch may do something to solve the problem.

I don't know why this would be happening. Can you post some simple code of what you're using.. the most minimal sample?

Posted by Philburt on Mon, 04 May 2009 13:28:56

Sample of code

function SetAHSort()

SortOrder=false
SortAuctionSetSort("list","name",abiSortOrder)
QueryAuctionItems("",1,80,0,0,0,1) --reading page 1

end -- waits for the event handler to call the routine to actually read the AH

--AHImage is a table holding the data read from the Auction House function ReadTheAuctionHouse()

    -- clear the last set of snapshot data
    for key,value in pairs(AHImage) do
        AHImage[key]=nil
    end

    for ScannedItem=1,50 do

        name,texture,count,quality,canUse,level,minBid,minIncrement,
        buyoutPrice,bidAmount,highBidder,owner=GetAuctionItemInfo
        ("list",ScannedItem)

        AHImage[#AHImage+1]=name.."%"..count.."%"..buyoutPrice
        -- makes a % separated string of name,count,buyout
    end

end

--AHImage is listed as a saved variable in the TOC file, and when examined shows some items not in the correct order.

OOps

The function ReadTheAuctionHouse() is actually on a line by itself , not part of the comment line as shown above
