Numeric collation doesn't correctly sort titles with leading zeros
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

If $wgCategoryCollation is set to 'numeric' (which tell it to use the NumericUppercaseCollation class), numbers that start with leading zeros are sorted incorrectly. For example:

0
1
9
01
10
99
001
019
023
100

Wikis using the 'numeric' collation need to have the updateCollation.php script re-ran (after the patch is deployed) to correct the missorted entries.
