I have tried to figure out what makes some data input select boxes sort the files numerically (like the Merge Columns tool) and some on text (like the add columns tool) but to me the configs seem identical.
The correct behaviour is to sort numerically. Can you please include in your next update a fix to ensure that all input data selects are sorted numerically?
Cheers Dennis
Hi Dennis,
Can you give us an example of the problem you are seeing? I believe these are actually sorted by the age of the dataset (so in increasing order of history id). This is the behavior I currently see on main and test. Are you seeing this on a different Galaxy instance?
Thanks, James

This is our own mirror. I am using the same history and get different ordering depending on what tool I use but it is consistent.Add Column, Compute for example are definitely sorting on alphabetic. Merge columns could be either numeric or history.
Screenshots attached. The two data inputs are treated differently for some reason. The dropdown list size is also different for the two which I do not understand.
Cheers

Thanks Dennis, I can confirm this (when >100 history items). It will be fixed.
