Sorting and ISO-8859-1 encoding...

[Peter Valdemar Mørch]

Hi,

I was very happy to find Devel::NYTProf!

I spent some time playing with it and for a long time I couldn't get the tables to sort properly. Until I discovered that if the pages are served with a webserver configured for ISO-8859-1 character set, sorting doesn't work. This is because the page's sorting algorithm treats 'µ' as a special char and it gets encoded differently for javascript and HTML. The HTML contains something like "183µs" (using a HTML entity) but the javascript has this line:

val = orig.replace(/µs/,''); /* XXX use µ ? */

encoded as UTF-8. And so sorting fails if the page isn't encoded as UTF-8.

This posting is primarily so the next poor guy can find out why sorting isn't working.

Sincerely,

Peter
