report order - statistics by tag (using natural sort)

[José Miguel Izquierdo]

      Hello,

      I would like to know if there is a way to sort statistics by tag in the report obtained after the RF tests execution where the tags are sorted based on naturalsort.

      I do have several tags which are named as 1.1.1_Verify_this, 1.1.2_Verify_that, ..., 1.1.11_Verify_this_other_thing, 1.1.12_Verify_that_other_thing... and so on... and when getting the report generated, the order of appearance is:

•       1.1.11_Verify_this_other_thing
•       1.1.12_Verify_that_other_thing
•       1.1.1_Verify_this...
•       1.1.2_Verify_that...

     which is not my desired output. I would like to have them sorted based on natural sort algorithm, which would be what a human being would like to see it

•       1.1.1_Verify_this...
•       1.1.2_Verify_that...
•       1.1.11_Verify_this_other_thing
•       1.1.12_Verify_that_other_thing

      I have read that the report template can be modified to customize the final report, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it to include what I want here. Any help?

Thanks a lot!

Hello

This is so interesting. It seems that I guessed three days ago that you or someone would require that feature, so I created the  PR https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/pull/2370

If you could try to patch RF, it would give more strenght for the PR be accepted.

As I commented the PR and the related issue #2369, I'm in general fine
changing string sorting to use natural order [1] instead of pure
alphabetical order. I'm not entirely happy how the PR uses both
sorting approaches, though, and would rather see one approach used
consistently everywhere.
