Doc #64371 [NEW]: sprintf formatting characters aren't sorted correctly

From: dharkness at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:sprintf formatting characters aren't sorted correctly Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.sprintf#refsect1-function.sprintf- parameters --- The format character "%u" is not in the correct place in the list. The rest of the characters are sorted alphabetically. If it's in a different location because it closely relates to "%d", it should go directly under "%d" and *not* between "%E" and "%f" which is where it is now. For bonus points have the table sorted alphabetically as it is (fix "%u") and add a separate table that groups them by how the type is treated (int, float, string). This second table wouldn't need to duplicate all of the descriptions; it would be used to find all the int-related codes. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64371&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64371&r=mysqlcfg
